This week UnderSelf turned on connectors: a way for an AI assistant you already use, Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini or Meta Muse, to read and write to your dream journal. It runs over MCP (Model Context Protocol), the open standard assistants use to reach outside tools. The server address is `https://api.underself.io/mcp`, and the whole setup is on UnderSelf's connectors overview. You sign in once on UnderSelf's own consent page, see exactly what the assistant will be able to do, and approve it. After that you just talk: tell it a dream, ask what you dreamed last week, ask it to search your journal, or ask what keeps coming back.
The steps are the same in each guide. Open its connector settings and add a custom connector; paste the server address above, sign in to UnderSelf with Google or Apple, and approve the two permissions it asks for, reading your dreams, readings and patterns, and recording new dreams and readings under your plan's limits. Then go back to the assistant and talk to it. Connecting Claude is the flow we walked through ourselves; Grok, including Grok in a Tesla, ChatGPT, Gemini and Meta Muse each get their own guide linked from the same overview page.
Once it is connected, you do not need to learn any commands. Four things you can say to it: "Log this dream, I was back in my childhood house and found a room I had never seen." "What did I dream about last week?" "Have I dreamed about water before?" "What patterns do you see in my dreams?" Behind those sit six tools for saving a dream, pulling a fresh reading, opening a single dream, listing recent ones, searching and reading your patterns, each one listed with its exact inputs on the tools reference.
One thing we want to say plainly. We connected Claude ourselves and logged a dream: it saved the entry and came back with a reading in about ten seconds. That is the one flow we have run end to end, which is why Claude carries a Verified mark in the docs. Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini and Meta Muse all speak the same MCP standard and should connect the same way, but we have not tested each of them ourselves yet, and the docs say that plainly instead of promising something we have not checked. Your plan's limits apply exactly as they do in the app; connecting an assistant does not raise or lower anything.
A connection reaches only your dream journal and nothing else in your account. It can read your dreams, readings and patterns, and it can record new dreams and request readings, but it cannot delete an entry, see your payment details or change anything else. You can turn it off from your account page any time, and it stops within about fifteen minutes. A connection you have not used for thirty days ends on its own, so an assistant you tried once and forgot about does not sit there indefinitely.
A dream is usually gone within minutes of sitting up. If an assistant is already one of the first things you open in the morning, before the browser tab or the half-read message, this puts the journal in that same place instead of asking you to open a separate app first.
If that is you, the guides above walk through connecting one. Say the dream the moment you remember it, right where you already are. What would change if the first thing you said each morning was what you dreamed?

Hero (16:9). A phone resting screen up on a wooden nightstand at first light, its display a soft indistinct glow with no readable text or app icons, beside an open handwritten journal, a pen, and a cooling mug of tea; warm low window light, calm early morning mood, editorial photography, no people, no text, no logos.
Inline (4:3). Close on an open journal page and a phone lying side by side on a nightstand, the phone screen glowing softly out of focus, a folded blanket edge at the frame's corner, warm low morning light, no legible text, no logos, no people.
Curious what one of yours actually means?
