Questions
What is an assistant connector?
Assistants like Claude and ChatGPT can connect to apps you use through MCP, an open standard. Once you connect HalaPlan, the assistant can look up your events and do things for you there when you ask.
Does it cost anything?
Not from HalaPlan: it's free, like the rest of HalaPlan. Your assistant may need a plan that allows connectors.
Which assistants work?
Claude and ChatGPT, and any other assistant that supports remote MCP connectors with sign-in.
What does the assistant see?
Only what you could see in the HalaPlan app: your events, your notifications, and for events you host, your guest list. Guests' email addresses and payment receipts aren't shared with it. What the assistant does with that is up to the assistant's own privacy terms.
How do I stop it?
Go to Settings › Assistants on HalaPlan and choose Disconnect. You can also remove the connector in your assistant.
