Remote MCP
Bring Mavo into your assistant.
Give Claude, ChatGPT, or another compatible assistant access to supported household actions through Mavo sign-in.
Connect an assistantMavo for builders
Bring the family plan into what you build.
Connect the calendars, lists, people, and notifications your family already uses to an assistant, a script, or your own app. Every connection works with the same shared plan your family sees in Mavo.
- Remote MCP with Mavo sign-in.
- A family-scoped REST API with OpenAPI docs.
- Signed webhooks for supported family changes.

Three builder jobs
Connect, build, or react. Start with the job you have.
Builder gives you several ways into the plan without making you maintain several versions of the family’s information.
REST API
Build against the shared plan.
Read and write documented family resources from scripts, automations, and apps with ordinary JSON.
Explore the APISigned webhooks
React when the plan changes.
Choose the supported changes your endpoint cares about, test the connection, and verify each delivery signature.
Read the builder guideREST API
Plain routes. Plain JSON. Family-scoped.
Create a key in Settings, then call explicit household resources from your script, automation, or app. The key belongs to one family and only works on that family’s paths.

Household resources
The useful parts, exposed on purpose.
Mavo exposes documented resources and named actions. It does not mirror every internal table or setting.
Calendar
Work with events, outside calendar feeds, and read-only calendar share links.
Lists and meals
Read and change groceries, meals, routines, and custom collections, including batch writes.
People and notifications
Work with household people, recent notifications, preferences, routines, and scheduled checks.
Household context
Search across supported family collections, people, and upcoming items when your tool needs context.
Signed webhooks
Let your tools notice what changed.
Choose the supported events your destination receives. Mavo signs the request, lets you send a test, and shows recent delivery status in Settings.

Calendar feeds
Keep the family plan visible in calendar apps.
Create an iCal share link for a Mavo calendar, then subscribe from the calendar app you already use. Calendar sync starts on Family and is included with Builder.

Builder questions
The connection details, up front.
Do I need Builder for the API, MCP, and webhooks?
Yes. Those three connection surfaces are included with Builder. Builder also includes everything in Covered.
Can I use an iCal feed without Builder?
Yes. Calendar connections and iCal feeds are included on Family and higher. Builder includes them alongside API access, MCP, and signed webhooks.
How are API keys scoped?
Each key belongs to one family and only works on that family’s paths. The full key is shown once when it is created, can be revoked, and is currently limited to 1,000 requests per day.
Does a connected assistant ask Mavo before every change?
No. After you approve the connection, the assistant acts as you and can make permitted changes directly. Mavo’s own chat has a separate review flow, so the connected assistant’s confirmation behavior matters.
Does the API expose everything Mavo stores?
No. It exposes documented household resources and named product actions, not every internal table or setting.
Build on the plan
The useful part is that your family still sees the result.
Connect Mavo once, then let the assistant, script, or app work with the same calendar and lists everyone already shares.
