Connect Quire to AI Assistants with MCP Permalink

Connect Quire to Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible AI tools. Add tasks, assign work, and set due dates using plain language, without switching between apps.

Overview

How It Works

Quire MCP connects Quire to AI assistants using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for letting AI tools interact with external services.

When you connect Quire via MCP, your AI assistant can read and write to your Quire workspace on your behalf. It uses your existing Quire permissions, so it can only access projects and tasks you already have access to.

You stay in full control: the AI only acts when you ask it to, and you can revoke access at any time.

Quire MCP supports the following AI tools:

• Claude
• ChatGPT
• Gemini CLI
• Perplexity
• Cursor
• VS Code (GitHub Copilot Chat)

You connect all of them from the Quire Apps page. No code or configuration files required.

Assign tasks and set due dates

• “Assign ‘Review contracts’ to Jamie, due this Friday.”
• “Set the due date for ‘Website redesign kickoff’ to April 30.”

Check and update status

• “Show me all tasks assigned to me this week.”
• “Mark ‘Send invoice’ as complete.”
• “List all overdue tasks in the Marketing project.”

Search your workspace

• “Show me high-priority tasks across all projects.”

Troubleshooting

The connection fails or shows an authorization error

• Make sure you are signed in to your Quire account before starting the connection from the Apps page.
• If your Quire organization uses SSO, contact your Quire admin to confirm that MCP connections are permitted.
• Try disconnecting and reconnecting from scratch.

The AI assistant does not seem to use Quire

• Try mentioning “Quire” explicitly in your message. For example: “Using Quire, show me my tasks due this week.”
• Check that the connection is still active on the Quire Apps page.
• Disconnect and reconnect, then start a new conversation.

Task Permission Errors

Your Quire role determines what the AI can do. If you are a Viewer on a project, the AI cannot create or edit tasks there. Contact your project admin to adjust your role if needed.
