Developers

Integrate Tobi AI into your development workflow. Brain dump tasks from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

MCP Server

Our MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes Tobi's Brain Dump feature to AI assistants. No other task manager offers AI-powered parsing of unstructured text via MCP.

What is Brain Dump?

Brain Dump lets you throw unstructured thoughts at Tobi's AI, which organizes them into structured tasks with:

Priorities (low, medium, high, urgent)
Due dates extracted from natural language ("by Friday", "next week")
Emotional signals detection
Relationship insights when you mention contacts

Example

Ask Claude:

prompt

"Use Tobi to brain dump: I need to fix the login bug before Friday,
call Sarah about the Q1 planning, and remember to send invoices"

Becomes 3 structured tasks in Tobi with appropriate priorities and due dates.
