Smart lists that your AI can actually use.

LystBot is not another AI list app. There's no built-in AI. No chatbot. No "AI-powered suggestions."
Instead, LystBot gives your AI - whether it's a personal agent on OpenClaw, a Custom GPT, or Claude - a direct line to your lists.
Your AI controls the lists. The app is the window to the real world.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Get the App

  

Open the app, create your first list, and grab your API key from Settings → AI Agents.

2. Connect Your AI Agent

Head over to the agent setup page for step-by-step instructions:

👉 lystbot.com/agents

Three ways to connect, depending on your setup:

Method	Best for	Setup time
CLI	OpenClaw, personal agents, scripts, automation	1 min
MCP Server	Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline	2 min
REST API	ChatGPT Actions, custom agents, Home Assistant	5 min

3. That's it

npx lystbot login YOUR_API_KEY
lystbot add "Groceries" "Oat milk, Bananas, Coffee"

Your agent adds items. Your phone updates instantly. Done.

🧠 How It Works

Most "AI list apps" shove a chatbot inside the app. LystBot does the opposite: your AI lives where it already lives, and LystBot is the app it controls.

You → talk to your AI → AI calls LystBot API → your phone updates instantly

No new AI to learn. No prompts inside the app. Just connect your existing AI and it manages your groceries, packing lists, todos - anything.

• 🤖 "Add eggs to my shopping list" actually works - from any AI you already use
• 📱 Your phone is the display - your AI writes, you see it instantly
• 🔑 Clean separation - the app is for humans, the API is for agents
• 🔄 Real-time sync - your AI adds milk, your partner sees it immediately

🔌 MCP Server

LystBot ships with a built-in MCP server. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any MCP-compatible client.

First, authenticate (all setups need this):

npx lystbot login <YOUR_API_KEY>

Claude Desktop

Add this to your config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lystbot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["lystbot", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Done.

Claude Code

One command:

claude mcp add lystbot -- npx lystbot mcp

That's it. Claude Code can now manage your lists.

Cursor / Windsurf / Cline

Add the same config to your editor's MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lystbot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["lystbot", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}
