LystBot

MCP server that gives AI agents full control over grocery lists, todos, and packing lists. Your AI creates lists, adds items, checks them off, and shares with family/friends.

LystBot

Smart lists that your AI can actually use.

MIT License npm API Status

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

App Store    Google Play

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:

MethodBest forSetup time
CLIOpenClaw, personal agents, scripts, automation1 min
MCP ServerClaude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline2 min
REST APIChatGPT Actions, custom agents, Home Assistant5 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

💻 CLI

The LystBot CLI lets you manage lists from the terminal. Built for AI agents like OpenClaw that work best with command-line tools, and for anyone who likes to script things.

🔌 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"]
    }
  }
}
