Connect your AI
Then just ask: "tell me when…"
Connect Zerowhen to your AI assistant once, and it can make watchers for you, check what they found, change them and explain what things cost. It uses MCP, the open standard for connecting AI apps to services. You sign in to Zerowhen once, and you can disconnect at any time.
The address to give your AI app:
https://app.zerowhen.com/mcpClaude (claude.ai, the desktop and mobile apps)
- On claude.ai, open Customize → Connectors (in some versions: Settings → Connectors).
- Click +, then Add custom connector.
- Name it Zerowhen and paste
https://app.zerowhen.com/mcp. - Claude then shows its settings with the right ones already chosen (marked Detected): Authentication Sign in now, OAuth client Register automatically. Change nothing, add no request headers, and click Add.
- Click Connect and sign in to Zerowhen (an emailed code, or your API token).
- Claude shows Zerowhen's tools in two groups. We suggest Read-only tools: Always allow (they only look at your watchers and results) and Write/delete tools: Needs approval (Claude asks before it creates, changes or deletes a watcher).
- In a chat, turn Zerowhen on under + → Connectors if it isn't already.
Works on every plan (the free plan allows one custom connector). On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds the connector for the organization first.
ChatGPT
- On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Apps → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
- Create a new app (connector): name Zerowhen, MCP server URL
https://app.zerowhen.com/mcp, authentication OAuth. - Sign in to Zerowhen when ChatGPT asks.
Developer mode is on the web, for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts. ChatGPT asks you to confirm actions that change things.
Gemini
- On gemini.google.com, open Settings → Connected Apps.
- Under Custom apps, choose Add a custom app, paste
https://app.zerowhen.com/mcpand click Next. - Sign in to Zerowhen and approve.
Google's requirements: a personal Google account, and Keep Activity on (Settings → Activity); custom apps are added on the web and then work on mobile too. Google is rolling them out gradually (so far reported for the US, in English): if Settings has no Connected Apps → Custom apps, they aren't available to you yet. The Gemini CLI works everywhere (below). Google's help page.
Command-line assistants
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http zerowhen https://app.zerowhen.com/mcp
Gemini CLI, in ~/.gemini/settings.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "zerowhen": { "httpUrl": "https://app.zerowhen.com/mcp" } } }
Both open a browser to sign you in the first time.
Any other MCP client: use the URL above with the Streamable HTTP transport; sign-in is OAuth, discovered automatically.
Then try
- "What are my Zerowhen watchers doing?"
- "Tell me when this page mentions tickets: …"
- "Which sites can I use to watch for a used Porsche 911 near Vancouver?"
- "What has come up since I last asked?"
Good to know
- Your AI sees your watchers and what they found, only when you ask it. You can see and disconnect connected apps under Account in your Zerowhen dashboard.
- Zerowhen tells your AI which sites allow watching, so it won't set up something that could get your own account banned.
- AI apps change their menus often. Steps checked on 28 September 2026; if something looks different, tell us at [email protected].
