Connect an AI agent

Make a personal token, add it to Claude, Cursor, VS Code or another MCP app, and ask it to read and plan your board.

Updated 11 Nov 2026 · 2 min read

Apps that speak MCP (the Model Context Protocol), like Claude, Cursor and VS Code, can work in Trawpie for you: read the board, find what’s overdue, add a week of tasks from a plan, tick sub-tasks and comment.

An agent acts as you, with your role, and its changes are labelled.

Connect one

  1. Make a tokenYour account ▸ AI agents ▸ New token. Name it after the app, choose the teams it can reach, and pick Read only or Read and write.
  2. Copy it onceIt’s shown only once. Copy the token, or the ready-made setup for your app.
  3. Add it to your appClaude Code: run the claude mcp add command it gives you. Cursor or VS Code: paste the JSON into mcp.json. Apps that take only an address use https://trawpie.org/mcp/t/….
  4. Ask away“What’s overdue in Robotics this week?” or “Add these five tasks to my row next week, due Friday.”
Example
Sam pastes a meeting’s action list into Claude and asks it to add them to the Robotics board for next week. Five tasks appear in Sam’s row, each saying “via AI agent” in its history.

Safe by design

  • An agent acts as you, with your role in each team: a Viewer’s agent can only read.
  • It can’t delete anything, change settings, or see money.
  • Sign-off stages still need their sign-off.
  • A token makes at most 60 requests a minute and 500 changes a day.
  • Trawpie keeps only a fingerprint of each token. Revoke it and it stops at once.
  • What teammates wrote in tasks reaches the agent as data, never as instructions.
A token is like a password: anyone who has it can act as you. Don’t paste it in a chat or commit it to code. Lost one? Revoke it in Your account ▸ AI agents and make a new one.
