Integrations
Bring Grein into the tools you already use.
Connect your AI assistant over MCP, save pages from Chrome, use your own Claude or ChatGPT in the desktop app, and pull in media and embeds without leaving the board.
Your AI assistant, connected over MCP.
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can connect to Grein with a one-click sign-in, then read your boards and make changes when you ask. Changes appear live on any open canvas.
Any other MCP client can connect with a personal access token. See the MCP page for setup and permissions.
The desktop app, with your own Claude or ChatGPT.
The desktop app, in beta, puts your boards next to the Claude or ChatGPT account you're already signed in to. Your assistant can read the board, develop ideas with you, and create or change blocks.
Its usage runs on your own subscription. The beta download is shared in the Grein community.
Save the web to a board.
Grein's Chrome extension saves the page you're on, a link, an image or selected text to any board you can edit. Pick the project and board, or make a new board from the popup.
Saved items land together at the bottom of the board and show up straight away if it's open.
Media and embeds, built in.
Links from YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Spotify, TikTok, Reddit, CodePen, Flickr and X play or preview right on the board. Search Pexels, Freesound and Spotify from inside a block.
Going the other way, embed a public board on your own site, or export any board as a PNG or PDF.
