Use Kove from your assistant.

Keep everything about your health in one place: food, training, sleep, symptoms and whatever else you track. Keep talking to the assistant you already use, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Grok, while Kove acts as your journal, organized and accurate, and your assistant can look back over all of it when you ask.

The message to send your assistant

Set up Kove: add the remote MCP server https://app.kovejournal.com/mcp

Paste it into your assistant and it knows what to do. If you need it, the full guide is below.

https://app.kovejournal.com/mcp

Add it as a connector in your assistant. There is no key to paste: you sign in to Kove and press Allow.

How connecting works.

Add Kove's address in your assistant. Pick your app for the steps:
Claude ChatGPT Grok Grok Bot Claude Code Cursor VS Code Codex Gemini CLI Hermes Other apps
Your assistant opens Kove in your browser. Sign in, or create an account: the first 30 days are free.
Kove shows what the assistant will be able to do. If it asks, choose Read and write or Read only. Then press Allow.

Sign in only on app.kovejournal.com. Kove never asks for your password in a chat.

Outside Claude and ChatGPT, Kove's Allow screen shows Not verified by Kove, and may say that Kove can't confirm the name the app gives itself. That is expected when you started connecting it yourself.

You can undo any change your assistant makes for 7 days, in the Kove app too. Kove emails you whenever an assistant is connected, and you can disconnect one any time in Settings › Account › Connected assistants.

In Claude, ChatGPT or Grok.

Claude

On claude.ai and in the desktop app. On the free plan you can add one custom connector. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds it for everyone, then you connect it from Connectors and sign in. Once added, it works in the phone app too.

Open Customize, then Connectors. In older versions they are under Settings.
Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
Name it Kove, paste the address, and follow the steps, choosing Sign in now.
In a chat, turn Kove on from the + menu, under Connectors.

ChatGPT

Works on Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces, where an admin may have to allow it first. On Plus and Pro it depends on what OpenAI offers your plan at the moment, and the free plan cannot add one. Kove is not in ChatGPT's own directory yet.

On chatgpt.com, open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server. On some plans this appears only after turning on Developer mode in Settings.
Name it Kove, paste the address, choose OAuth, and confirm.
Install it from your plugins, then type @Kove in a chat.

Grok

On grok.com, in a browser.

Open grok.com/connectors, click New Connector, then Custom.
Paste the address and sign in.

Grok Bot

Ask it in a chat to add the MCP server at Kove's address.
Sign in to Kove and press Allow. Grok Bot connects through Cursor, so Kove's Allow screen names Cursor.

In a coding tool.

Claude Code

Install the plugin, which brings Kove and its skills together:

/plugin marketplace add kovejournal/kove-skills
/plugin install kove@kove

Or, instead of the plugin, add Kove alone with one line, for all your projects:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user kove https://app.kovejournal.com/mcp

Either way, then run /mcp in Claude Code, pick Kove and sign in. Use one or the other, not both, or Claude Code connects Kove twice.

Cursor

Add to Cursor

By hand: add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, then sign in when Cursor asks.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kove": { "url": "https://app.kovejournal.com/mcp" }
  }
}

VS Code

In GitHub Copilot's agent mode. On a Copilot Business or Enterprise plan, an admin has to allow MCP servers first.

Add to VS Code

By hand: run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP and paste the address. VS Code opens Kove's sign-in in your browser.

Codex

codex mcp add kove --url https://app.kovejournal.com/mcp

If Codex does not open Kove's sign-in by itself, run codex mcp login kove.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http kove https://app.kovejournal.com/mcp

Then run /mcp auth kove in Gemini CLI and sign in.

Hermes

Add Kove to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

mcp_servers:
  kove:
    url: "https://app.kovejournal.com/mcp"
    auth: oauth

Then run hermes mcp login kove, and /reload-mcp in a session.

Any other app

Look for custom connector, MCP server or remote server, and give it Kove's address. Kove signs in with OAuth, so there is no key or token to paste. In a settings file it usually looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kove": { "url": "https://app.kovejournal.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Or let your assistant do it

An assistant that can change its own settings, such as Claude Code, Grok Bot or Hermes, can set Kove up for you. Paste this:

Connect Kove (kovejournal.com) to this assistant: add the remote MCP server https://app.kovejournal.com/mcp, with OAuth sign-in.
I'll sign in on app.kovejournal.com myself, don't ask me for the password.
If you can, install the Kove skills from https://github.com/kovejournal/kove-skills too.
If you can't do this from here, tell me where to add it.

With the skills, your assistant does more.

With the skills your assistant can review your week, build you a training plan and log a meal food by food, so the numbers stay right. They are a few pages of instructions, and Kove works without them too.

In Claude Code, the plugin above brings them. In Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and many other tools:

npx skills add kovejournal/kove-skills

The Claude and ChatGPT apps don't install skills this way, and Kove works there as it is. The skills are on GitHub.

What to say.

The way you would say it to Kove, in your own words and in any language.

Try this:

Log lunch: pasta al pomodoro, about 80 g dry, and a side salad.

I drank half a litre of water.

How did my sleep and training go this week?

Start tracking magnesium, I take 300 mg most evenings.

Undo what you logged this morning.

What stays in the app.

Your assistant can log, correct and read nearly everything. A few things you do in Kove itself:

deleting a field, a plan or a saved food, and renaming a field
the pictures you keep in Kove
exporting your data
your account, your subscription and how you sign in

Connecting an assistant is included in your Kove subscription.

Your privacy.

What your assistant reads goes to its provider, under your own agreement with them, and that provider may be outside the EU. Your journal itself stays on Kove's server in the EU. Disconnecting stops new reads, but what the assistant has already read stays with its provider.
