Anything that sends or changes something waits for a yes
This is the running inventory of every service my AI tools can reach, and through what. Some connections are MCP servers, the Model Context Protocol connectors that let an AI client call a service's tools directly. Others are ordinary REST APIs with a key or an OAuth token kept in a file on Pinebox. Secrets never go into chat or git, and anything that sends, submits, or spends waits for my yes.
Through Blackbox
Service
How
What it does
Todoist
REST API, token
The official task list: read, add, complete, reschedule, organize, with a permanent local log
Google Calendar
Google API, Blackbox's own OAuth (Internal app in the Blackbox Cloud project)
Meetings and open blocks in the morning and night briefs
Gmail
Google API, same OAuth
Reads unread mail and finds conversations owed a reply; sending goes through Alpine, only when I press Ctrl+X
Upwork
Upwork's official MCP server, OAuth
New jobs, triage, proposals and their status, invitations, messages owed; read-only, never submits
Anthropic
Claude API
One model per job, with fallbacks, wired but not yet the active backend
OpenAI
API
The current backend, GPT-5.6 Terra, for briefs, chat, and pitches
DigitalOcean
GenAI agent endpoint
Fallback model
GitHub
git over HTTPS
The nightly encrypted backup goes to a private repository
Through Pinebox scripts
Service
How
What it does
Google Places API (New)

The AI visibility tracker, run only when I start it, because every run costs money
Through Claude Code
Claude Code on Pinebox has these connectors attached through my Claude account, plus everything on the machine itself:
Connected
Notes
Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive
Search, read, draft, and send mail; read and create events; read and create files
Upwork
The same official MCP server Blackbox uses
Todoist
Tasks, projects, comments, reminders
Slack, Dropbox, Calendly
Messages and canvases, files and share links, scheduling
Semrush
Keyword, backlink, and domain reports
Wix
Site building and management
Claude Docs and Artifacts
Shared documents and published pages
Uber
Ride estimates
Screaming Frog
Local MCP server for crawls, when the SEO Spider is running
Signed out for now
Microsoft 365, PayPal, Spotify, Strava, Zoom: available, waiting for a sign-in
OpenAI Codex, ChatGPT, and Claude.ai
Codex on Pinebox has the Screaming Frog MCP server and a Gmail connector. ChatGPT and Claude.ai carry their own connectors on my accounts; they aren't inventoried here yet.
On the way
Basecamp. I am moving from Basecamp 2 to Basecamp 5, choosing which projects to migrate. Basecamp 5 has a refreshed API with official SDKs, a command-line tool, agent Skills, and an official MCP connector at https://mcp.basecamp.com/mcp, included with every account, for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Grok.
Worth adding
Google Analytics. Google publishes an official MCP server for Analytics. It is read-only and labeled experimental, and it would let any of these clients pull GA4 reports directly.
Google's managed MCP servers. As of April 2026 Google listed more than 50, including Gmail, Drive, Calendar, People, Chat, BigQuery, and Maps Grounding Lite for place and routing data.
Google's Developer Knowledge MCP server, which answers from Google's official documentation.
Search Console. There is a full API but no official MCP server that I could find, so it would be a Pinebox script like the Places one.
