Use Dwellsmith with Claude

Manage your household just by talking. No apps to switch between, no forms to fill out — just say what you need in plain English, and Claude takes care of the rest.

Candlelit dinner — the payoff of a smoothly running household

What is this?

Dwellsmith connects to Claude (by Anthropic) so you can manage your household through conversation. Instead of clicking through menus and filling out forms, you just talk to Claude the way you'd talk to a friend.

Behind the scenes, Dwellsmith gives Claude access to your tasks, contacts, home maintenance schedules, and more — so it can actually do things for you, not just chat about them.

Just say what you need

📋 Tasks & to-dos

"What's on my plate today?"

"Add a task: fix the leaky faucet by Friday"

"Mark the laundry task as done"

"What tasks are overdue?"

👋 Staying in touch

"I called Mom yesterday"

"Who haven't I talked to in a while?"

"I had coffee with Sarah on Tuesday"

"Log a video call with Dad — we talked for about an hour"

🏠 Home maintenance

"What home maintenance is coming up?"

"Mark the gutter cleaning done"

"Is anything overdue on the house?"

🤝 Helpers

"Did the dog walker come this week?"

"Maria came today — pay her $150"

"Log that the cleaners came on Monday"

✨ Or just ask for the big picture

"What's my household look like right now?"

You don't need to memorize any special commands. Just talk to Claude the way you'd talk to a friend, and Dwellsmith figures out what you mean.

Getting started

It takes about 5 minutes. Here's what you need:

1

Create a Dwellsmith account

Sign up and set up your household — you can do this through our onboarding chat or manually.

2

Install Claude

Get Claude Desktop or Claude Code if you don't have it already.

3

Connect Dwellsmith

Clone the MCP server and run the setup script:

# Clone the MCP server

git clone https://github.com/project-dwellsmith/mcp-server.git

cd mcp-server

npm install

# Run setup (links your Dwellsmith account to Claude)

node setup.js

The setup script will ask for your Dwellsmith email and password, then automatically configure Claude to use Dwellsmith.

Alternatively, add to your claude_desktop_config.json manually:

// In your Claude Desktop settings → Developer → MCP Servers

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dwellsmith": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-server/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DWELLSMITH_API_URL": "https://dwellsmith.com",
        "DWELLSMITH_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

4

Restart Claude and start talking

Restart Claude Desktop (or your Claude Code session). You should see a 🔨 icon showing Dwellsmith's tools are connected. Then just say something like "What's on my plate today?" — that's it.
