Your maps, with your AI assistant

Connect Ikuzo to ChatGPT or Claude, then ask in plain words: your map changes. It works through MCP, the open standard that lets AI assistants use your apps.

What you can ask

  • Add the 10 best ramen shops in Kyoto to my Japan map, as To visit.
  • Here is an article about hidden beaches in Okinawa: put every beach it mentions on my map.
  • Tag every temple on my Japan map with #temple, and mark the ones in Nara as Visited.
  • Make a 5-day trip in Hokkaido from my To visit spots, one area per day.
  • Which of my spots are within 2 km of Shinjuku Station?

Set it up in two minutes

ChatGPT

  1. Open Plugins, press Add, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Name it Ikuzo, paste https://ikuzo.app/api/mcp as the server URL, keep OAuth, and create the plugin.
  3. Press Continue to Ikuzo, log in or create a free account, and press Allow.

If you do not see Add custom MCP server, your ChatGPT plan may not offer custom plugins yet.

Claude.ai

  1. Open Customize, then Connectors, press Add, then Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Ikuzo, paste https://ikuzo.app/api/mcp, and add it.
  3. Press Connect, log in or create a free account, and press Allow.

Claude Code, Cursor and Claude Desktop

These use a personal token instead of a sign-in. In Ikuzo, open Account and plan (your avatar), then Features, and turn on Enable MCP access. Replace YOUR_TOKEN below with your token (Claude Code even gets a ready-to-paste command there).

Claude Code

claude mcp add ikuzo https://ikuzo.app/api/mcp --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Cursor, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ikuzo": {
      "url": "https://ikuzo.app/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop, in Settings → Developer → Edit Config (needs Node.js, for the mcp-remote bridge):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ikuzo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://ikuzo.app/api/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"]
    }
  }
}

Other MCP clients work too, with a sign-in or with an Authorization: Bearer header sent to https://ikuzo.app/api/mcp. The first request can take a few seconds while your assistant discovers what Ikuzo can do.

What it can do

Maps

List, create and rename your maps, and organise them in folders.

Spots

Find real places, add them one by one or 10 at a time, update, tag, move, copy between maps, attach photos.

Search your map

Spots near a point or inside an area, filtered by status, type or tag.

Trips

Create trips and fill them day by day with your spots.

Limits and privacy

Free: 100 requests a month, enough to try it and build a map. Explorer: 5,000 a month. Compare the plans.

Your assistant only opens your own maps and the maps shared with you, and only when you ask it to.

Apps connected with a sign-in, like ChatGPT and Claude.ai, are listed in Account and plan → Features, where you can disconnect them. Your personal token can be regenerated from the same place, which cuts off every assistant using the old one.

Start a map, then let your assistant fill it.
