AI keeps the project current. Your team decides what reaches your sponsor.

Built-in AI drafts asks and updates from what’s already in Unblockd. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, or Cursor, and it also keeps tasks and proof up to date and flags what’s stuck. A person on your team sends every ask your sponsor sees.

Start freeSee the setup

Connecting your own assistant works on every plan, Free included. Built-in AI is part of Team and Business.

Illustrative example

Maya asks her assistant to prepare an ask for Dana, the sponsor. The assistant reads the plan, flags that training needs system access, and prepares a decision with three options. It waits in Asks, not shared, until Maya shares it with Dana. History records it as Maya via her assistant.

Two ways to bring AI in.

Use either, or both. Each works on the same projects and follows the rules below.

Built-in AI

Team and Business

Inside Unblockd, included with Team.

  • Write the ask: a blocker becomes one question with options, your recommendation, and the cost of waiting.
  • Draft the opening note of today’s sponsor update from what moved.
  • Turn a pasted plan into outcomes, deliverables, activities, and tasks.
  • Pull tasks, asks, and decisions out of meeting notes.
  • Answer a question from your projects in ⌘K, with links to where the answer came from.

You check every draft before it’s saved or sent. An answer never changes anything.

Your own assistant

Every plan

Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, or any app that adds a remote MCP server, connected to https://unblockd.ai/mcp.

  • Read the plan: outcomes, deliverables, tasks, blockers, and risks.
  • Update tasks and attach proof, like a pull request, a doc, or meeting notes.
  • Flag what’s stuck and who has to clear it.
  • Prepare asks, replies, and sponsor updates for your team to send.
  • Start your day with what changed, what’s blocked, and what’s due.

It signs in as you and runs on your own AI account.

What an assistant can and can’t do.

These rules are built into Unblockd, so they hold for every assistant you connect. Your sponsor always hears from a person on your team.
A person sends every ask
Asks an assistant prepares wait under Asks, marked Not shared yet, and its replies to your sponsor wait there as drafts. Someone on your team sends each one.
Assistants never contact your sponsor
An assistant can’t email your sponsor, share a blocker with them, or show them anything your team hid. They see only what your team shares.
Every change carries a name
History records each change under the person who connected the assistant, as “Maya via Claude”. Filter it to Assistants to see only theirs.
Automations stay with your admins
An assistant can see which automations are on and hold today’s update so a person decides. Only an admin can switch an automation on or off, so a weekly digest an assistant turns on sends by itself only where an admin chose that.

Connect your assistant in three steps.

It takes a couple of minutes, on any plan. The full guide has more detail, and assistants can read setup.md themselves.

  1. Add the connector URL

    In your assistant’s settings, add a custom connector or remote MCP server with the URL https://unblockd.ai/mcp.

    https://unblockd.ai/mcp

  2. Sign in

    When your assistant asks, sign in to Unblockd in your own browser. You never paste a password or code into a chat.

  3. Try a first prompt

    Ask “What needs my attention today?” A working connection answers from your projects, and asking changes nothing.

    What needs my attention today?

Steps for your assistant

  1. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector.

  2. Paste this URL, name it Unblockd, then connect and sign in.

    https://unblockd.ai/mcp

How your project data is handled.

How assistants and built-in AI handle your projects. The details are in our privacy policy and on Security.
OAuth sign-in
You sign in to Unblockd in your own browser through OAuth. Unblockd never receives your assistant’s credentials.
It acts as you
An assistant reads and changes only what you can, in the workspaces you belong to. Remove Unblockd from its connector settings to disconnect it.
Not used for training
We don’t use project content to train AI models. What a connected assistant reads goes to its provider, under your terms with them.
Built-in AI uses one provider
Built-in AI sends the text for a draft or an answer to one AI provider, named in our privacy policy, whose API doesn’t use that text to train its models.

Bring in work from Jira, Asana, GitHub, and more.

Connect Jira, Asana, monday.com, GitHub, and 27 more tools with read-only access. Once an admin connects one, your assistant can link a board or repo to a project, bring items in as tasks that follow the tool, and attach docs as proof.

Questions

What is an MCP server for project management?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI assistants use to connect to other software. Unblockd’s MCP server at https://unblockd.ai/mcp gives your assistant tools to read the plan, update tasks, attach proof, flag blockers, and prepare sponsor asks, signed in as you.
Which AI assistants work with Unblockd?
Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor each have their own setup steps. Any other app that can add a remote MCP server with OAuth sign-in can connect too.
Can an assistant message my sponsor?
No. Asks and replies an assistant prepares wait for someone on your team to send them. Only automations an admin turned on, such as the daily update or the weekly digest, go out without a tap. An assistant can hold today’s update, and it can turn a project’s weekly digest on, but that digest sends by itself only if an admin turned on automatic digests.
Is AI included in every plan?
Built-in AI is part of the Team and Business plans. Connecting your own assistant works on every plan, Free included, and runs on your own AI account.
Is my project data used to train AI?
We don’t use project content to train AI models. Built-in AI uses one AI provider, named in our privacy policy, whose API doesn’t train on that text. What a connected assistant reads goes to its own provider, under your terms with them.
How do I see what an assistant changed?
Open the project’s History and filter to Assistants. Each change shows the person and the assistant, like “Maya via Claude”.
Can AI write my project status updates?
Yes. Your assistant can draft this week’s sponsor update, and built-in AI writes the opening note of today’s update. A person approves and sends it, unless an admin turned on automatic sending.
