Which assistants work?

Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor connect with their own setup steps, and any assistant that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth can connect too.

Whose AI account does it use?

Your assistant runs on your own model account. Separately, Team includes built-in AI drafting.

Can the assistant message my sponsor?

It can prepare asks and draft replies. They wait for a person on your team to share or send them.

Is it on the Free plan?

Yes. Connecting your own assistant works on every plan, including Free for 1 project and up to 3 teammates.

Your AI assistant prepares the update. You approve it.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor to Unblockd’s MCP server. Your assistant reads the project, gathers evidence from the tools it can reach, and prepares blockers, asks, and update notes. A person on your team decides what reaches the sponsor.

Example agent session

›Review the rollout guide and project notes. What needs our sponsor?
•unblockd · get_project SUP
Guide ready for review. Training is waiting on system access.
•unblockd · flag_blocker “Training needs system access”
Potential risk: less practice time if access arrives late. Check the training date.
•unblockd · ask_client_decision “Can we confirm access before training?”
✓Decision request prepared. Review and share it from Asks.

An illustrative session using the server’s real tool names. It is an example, not a recording.

Why AI status reports miss

An assistant can summarize a week of work in seconds, but only the part it can see. Pasting context into a chat every Friday is its own chore, and the summary still lives outside the project.

And few teams want an assistant writing to a sponsor on its own judgment.

How Unblockd handles it

Unblockd is the place the assistant works and the record it writes to, with people deciding what goes out.

Connect onceAdd the MCP server in your assistant and sign in. It runs on your own model account, so the toolkit path spends nothing on Unblockd’s AI. The setup guide has the steps for each assistant.
Your assistant works as youIt signs in as you, and every change it makes shows in the project’s history under your name, marked as made through the assistant.
Real project toolsIt can read a project and what needs attention, add tasks and evidence, flag blockers, log risks, prepare a decision for the sponsor, draft a reply to a sponsor’s question, and write the opening line of the day’s update.
A person sendsAsks and replies an assistant prepares wait under Asks until someone on your team shares or sends them. Updates go out when a person approves them, and only a person can record a sign-off.

Where it fits

A good fit

Teams already using an assistant on their code, docs, or tickets who want it to keep the project current.
Leads who want drafts prepared and the final call kept with a person.

Use something else for

A hands-off autopilot. Unblockd reads only what your assistant brings in or what you connect; it doesn’t read your email or chat on its own.
