Introducing LystBot - The List App Your AI Can Actually Use
You can ask Claude to "add milk to my shopping list." Claude will say "Done!" and nothing happens. Your shopping list app has no idea Claude exists.
LystBot fixes that.
A list app with an API
LystBot runs on iOS and Android. You get shopping lists, todo lists, wishlists, packing lists. You share them with family. Standard stuff.
The difference: LystBot exposes a REST API, a CLI, and an MCP server. Your AI assistant connects directly and manages your lists for real.
MCP Server
LystBot ships with a built-in MCP server, listed in the official MCP Registry.
Claude Desktop - add to your config:
{"mcpServers":{"lystbot":{"command":"npx","args":["lystbot","mcp"]}}}Claude Code - one command:
claude mcp add lystbot -- npx lystbot mcpTell Claude "find me a carbonara recipe and add everything to my grocery list." Your phone buzzes with a push notification. The items are there.
CLI
The LystBot CLI works for AI agents like OpenClaw, automation scripts, and terminal workflows.
npx lystbot login <YOUR_API_KEY>
lystbot create "Weekend Groceries" --emoji "🛒"
lystbot add "Weekend Groceries" "Avocados, Sourdough bread, Coffee beans"
lystbot check "Weekend Groceries" "Coffee beans"REST API
