Open AI Connections
In Ikuna, open Settings, then AI Connections.
Connect Ikuna to Claude Desktop, Codex, or another compatible MCP client. Ask about the work that happened on your Mac, or start the right workspace from the conversation.
“What did I work on today?”
“Why was my focus so fragmented this afternoon?”
“Start my Writing Ikuna.”
Ikuna supplies the facts. Your AI helps you understand them or act on them, within the permissions you choose.
An AI assistant can help with your work, but it usually starts each conversation missing the useful part: what you were actually doing.
Ikuna already has the structure of the day: the workspace you intended to use, sessions, active time, deep-work periods, context switches, apps, categories, and gaps where tracking was idle, private, or unavailable.
The model does not become the source of truth. Ikuna keeps the activity model, metric rules, and workspace state. The model reads the evidence you allow and helps interpret it.
If Ikuna does not have enough history, the honest answer is “not enough evidence”. It should not invent a productivity story from thin data.
With workspace-control permission, your assistant can use Ikuna’s normal workspace actions.
Actions that can rearrange windows, close or hide apps, or overwrite saved state require the right permission and a clear confirmation. Read access does not automatically grant control.
Your chosen AI client and model provider have their own privacy terms. Ikuna controls the data it makes available through the connection.
In Ikuna, open Settings, then AI Connections.
Choose a supported client, or copy the standard configuration for another compatible MCP host.
Restart the client if needed, then ask a normal Ikuna question. A real request creates live verification.
Connection states say what is true
Setup saved: Ikuna found its configuration entry.
Client detected: the client and readable configuration were found.
Live verified: that client reached this Ikuna helper through a real request.
Needs repair: the saved setup is stale, invalid, or cannot reach Ikuna.
MCP ships inside Ikuna. It has its own page because it opens a different way to use the app, but your workspaces and Focus Intelligence stay in one product.
It is included with Ikuna Pro at €9/month or €70/year. The free plan still includes up to 4 Ikunas, full-context switching, and the basic dashboard.
MCP is a standard that lets compatible AI clients connect to tools and data sources. Ikuna uses it to expose specific focus-intelligence and workspace capabilities from the Mac app, within the access you grant.
No. Enabling MCP does not transmit activity by itself. Data is returned when a connected client makes a request that fits its permission scopes.
Only if you grant workspace-control permission. Read access alone cannot change a workspace.
Only if the shipped build captured them and you separately allow that sensitive-context scope.
It reports limited coverage or not enough evidence. Observed facts and model interpretation stay separate.
