Connect Orvo to the AI assistant you already use. Ask who you’ve lost touch with, get briefed before a meeting, or log a note in one sentence. Your assistant works with your real relationship data, with your permission.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use outside tools. Orvo runs an MCP server, so any assistant that supports MCP can look things up in Orvo, and update it when you allow that.
You add a single URL to your assistant. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Zed, Raycast and other MCP apps all speak the same protocol, so the same Orvo URL works in each of them.
Most assistants open an Orvo sign-in page and ask what the assistant may do. No passwords are shared with the assistant. For tools without browser sign-in, you can use a personal token from Orvo Settings → Integrations instead.
New connections can only read. If you want your assistant to add notes or plan follow-ups, you choose Read and make changes when you connect.
Your assistant picks the right Orvo tools by itself. Prompts with an amber edge make changes, so they need the Read and make changes option.

Orvo’s MCP server does not expose:
Connecting an assistant never hands it the keys to everything. These rules are enforced by Orvo's server, whatever the assistant asks for.
When your assistant opens the Orvo sign-in page, Read only (recommended) is pre-selected. Choose Read and make changes only if you want it to update Orvo. Personal tokens from Settings also start read-only until you switch on Allow changes with this token.
People and notes an assistant deletes go to Recently deleted, with their notes and actions, and can be restored for 30 days. To delete People, the assistant must send each person’s exact name back to Orvo; if any name doesn’t match, nothing is deleted.
Orvo caps how many People an assistant can add, change and delete per day, and how many records one request can touch. A runaway prompt can’t rewrite your whole network.
Changes to a person (their profile, tags, notes and the actions linked to them) appear in that person’s activity as made via AI assistant, so you can see what came from your assistant and what came from you.
The assistant sees what you can see in Orvo. On People shared with you it follows the sharing settings. Private notes are visible to their author and to the person’s owner, so an owner’s assistant can read private notes collaborators wrote on that owner’s People.
Every assistant that signed in with Orvo is listed in Orvo Settings → Integrations, where Disconnect cancels its access on Orvo’s side (removing the connector in the assistant only forgets it on that device). Unused sign-ins expire after 90 days. If you use a personal token, generating a new one there cancels the old one.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to apps and data. Orvo provides an MCP server at https://www.getorvo.com/api/mcp; when you add it to an assistant that supports MCP, the assistant can use Orvo’s tools to look up your People, notes and actions and, if you allow it, update them.
Any assistant that can connect to a remote MCP server over HTTP. We have step-by-step guides for Claude (web, desktop and mobile), Claude Code, ChatGPT, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Mistral Vibe (formerly Le Chat), Gemini CLI, the Gemini app, Zed and Raycast. Most of them sign in to Orvo through your browser; others use a personal token from Orvo Settings → Integrations.
Only if you allow it. Connections are read only by default. If you choose “Read and make changes”, the assistant can add and update People, notes, actions and opportunities. Deleting moves People and notes to Recently deleted, where you can restore them for 30 days, and daily limits cap how much an assistant can change.
No. Orvo’s MCP server does not expose synced emails or calendar events, and it can’t send messages. It works with your People, notes, actions, opportunities, tags, groups and relationship insights.
Orvo does not use your data to train AI models. When your assistant reads something from Orvo, that information goes to the assistant’s provider (for example Anthropic or OpenAI) and is handled under that provider’s terms and your account’s data settings. Check those settings if this matters to you, and use read-only access if you only need answers.
Orvo accounts with web access can connect assistants, including during the 14-day free trial. The connection stops working if the account is closed or no longer active. The mobile-only plan sold in the Orvo phone app does not include MCP connections.
For assistants that sign in through the browser, disconnect Orvo in the assistant (or sign out of the connector) and connect again; the Orvo sign-in page lets you pick the other option. For a personal token, switch “Allow changes with this token” on or off in Orvo under Settings → Integrations.
Open People > Recently deleted in Orvo and restore it, or ask your assistant to restore it. People come back with their notes, actions and shares. Items stay restorable for 30 days.
