Connect Memlane to ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok

Last updated July 29, 2026

Once connected, your assistant can read your Memlane library: search what you've saved, pull up full articles, add new links, and write notes. It only sees your account, and only after you sign in.

ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, and Grok all use the same setup: paste one link, sign in to Memlane, and you're done. No API keys or config files.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT connects over the internet. You paste one link and sign in. No codes or config files.

Open ChatGPT and go to Settings.
Find Connectors or Apps & Connectors.
Choose to add a custom connector (sometimes called an MCP server).
When it asks for a URL, paste this exactly:
```
https://api.memlane.io/mcp
```
ChatGPT will send you to Memlane. Sign in with your email (magic link) and tap Allow.
Go back to ChatGPT. Memlane should appear as a connected app with your library available.

If tools do not show up, remove the connector and add it again. That usually fixes a stale sign-in.

Claude Desktop

Same idea as ChatGPT: paste a link and sign in. No API keys or config files.

Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings.
Open Connectors and click Add custom connector.
When it asks for a URL, paste this exactly:
```
https://api.memlane.io/mcp
```
Click Add, then Connect on the new Memlane connector.
Claude opens your browser. Sign in to Memlane with your email (magic link) and tap Allow.
Return to Claude Desktop. Memlane should show up as a connected tool.

If tools do not show up, remove the connector and add it again. That usually fixes a stale sign-in.

Grok

Same idea as ChatGPT and Claude: paste a link and sign in. No API keys or config files.

Open Grok and go to grok.com/connectors (also reachable from Settings → Connectors).
Click New Connector, then choose Custom.
When it asks for the MCP server URL, paste this exactly:
```
https://api.memlane.io/mcp
```
Grok sends you to Memlane. Sign in with your email (magic link) and tap Allow.
Return to Grok. Memlane should show up as a connected tool with your library available.

If tools do not show up, remove the connector and add it again. That usually fixes a stale sign-in.

What you can ask

Talk normally. No special commands. Your assistant searches Memlane, reads your saves, and acts on what it finds. Here are prompts that fit different kinds of work:

Founders & product

“Summarize everything I've saved on our main competitor before tomorrow's strategy meeting.”
“What themes keep showing up in my saves about onboarding? Bullet the top five.”
“Turn my recent product research saves into a one-page brief for the team.”

Writers, journalists & creators

“Look at my recently saved links in Memlane and draft three posts for X, one insight per post, under 280 characters.”
“Pull my saves on climate policy and outline a 1,200-word essay with section headings.”
“Summarize what I read this week into a newsletter intro, casual tone, about 150 words.”

Researchers & academics

“Find the papers and articles I saved on transformer architectures and group them by approach.”
“Compare the methods in my saved sources on survey design. Where do they disagree?”
“Draft a literature-review paragraph from my saves tagged Neuroscience.”

Engineers & developers

“What have I saved about Postgres indexing? List the main recommendations.”
“I'm choosing between two auth libraries. Pull my saved comparisons and pros/cons.”
“Save this RFC to Memlane and tag it API design.”

Marketers & growth

“From my saved case studies, extract five hook ideas for a landing page.”
“What positioning angles appear in my saves about B2B SaaS pricing?”
“Draft LinkedIn post ideas based on my last ten marketing saves.”

Designers

“Find my saves on mobile navigation patterns and summarize the common patterns.”
“I'm presenting a redesign. Pull relevant reference saves and note key UX takeaways.”

Consultants, lawyers & finance

“Summarize my saved articles on the EU AI Act for a client memo, neutral tone.”
“What did I collect on Series B term sheets? List the clauses that came up most.”
“Prep talking points from my saves on supply-chain risk for a board update.”

HR & recruiting

“Pull my saves on engineering hiring and draft interview questions for a staff role.”
“What frameworks for performance reviews have I saved? Compare them briefly.”

Students & lifelong learners

“I'm writing an essay on the French Revolution. Find my relevant saves and suggest an outline.”
“Quiz me on the main ideas from what I saved about macroeconomics this month.”
“Save this lecture link to Memlane and add it to my Biology project.”

Anyone: save and organize in chat

“Save https://… to Memlane.” (read, summarized, and filed like any other save)
“Create a note called ‘Trip ideas’ with these bullet points …”
“What did I save last week? Give me a quick recap by topic.”

Saves and captures count toward your normal Memlane usage. Remote connections (ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, and Grok) also have daily limits: 500 searches and 100 new links per day, to keep the service reliable for everyone.

Automatic digests

Your assistant can also hand Memlane a whole reading list at once. Give it a list of links and a title, and Memlane turns each one into a clean, readable article and bundles them into a single digest: one card in the app's Digests section, and one book on your e-reader, contents page and chapters included.

Digests are deliberately temporary. Each one expires on its own (a week by default, up to 30 days), and its articles never mix into your library: they stay out of your topics, search, and counts, and clean themselves up when the digest expires. Your collection stays yours; the morning's news doesn't move in.

The fun starts when you put this on a schedule. ChatGPT's scheduled tasks and Claude's routines can run a prompt for you every morning or every Friday, and the digest is simply there when you pick up your reader. Some ideas:

“Every morning at 7, fetch the Hacker News front page, keep the stories with over 100 points, and create a Memlane digest called ‘Hacker News’ with today's date. Have it expire in 2 days.” Coffee, e-reader, done.
“Every Friday, find the best new writing this week on urban planning and bundle the five strongest pieces into a Memlane digest for the weekend.”
“Every evening at 6, pull today's top stories from The Verge, Ars Technica, and TechCrunch, drop the duplicates, and save the ten best as a Memlane digest called ‘Tech today’ that expires in 2 days.”
“Once a week, collect new papers on diffusion models, pick the ones worth reading in full, and create a Memlane digest of them.”
Or on demand, no schedule at all: “I board a flight tomorrow morning. Grab the five latest essays from Paul Graham's blog and save them as one Memlane digest, so they're on my Kobo before I leave.”

You can also ask “which of my Memlane digests are ready?” or “delete this morning's digest from Memlane”. Each article in a digest counts toward the daily link limit, and a digest holds up to 30 articles.

Disconnect

ChatGPT: remove the Memlane connector in ChatGPT's connector settings.
Claude Desktop: remove the Memlane connector under Settings → Connectors.
Grok: remove the Memlane connector at grok.com/connectors.
