What is this?

You can connect your Chorilo account to an AI assistant such as ChatGPT or Claude. Afterwards you can simply ask the assistant in plain language — for example "What events does my choir have this week?" or "Confirm my attendance for Friday's rehearsal" — and it takes care of it directly in Chorilo for you.

The connection is entirely voluntary and set up by you yourself. The assistant then acts exclusively on your behalf and with exactly the permissions your account has in your choir.

What the assistant can do for you

Look up events — upcoming rehearsals, concerts and other events
Create or edit events — if you are authorised to do so
Confirm or decline (RSVP) events
Read and create announcements
Search the sheet music library

Deleting is deliberately not possible — that remains reserved for the Chorilo app.

How to connect Claude

Open Claude and go to Settings > Connectors (with a Team or organisation licence: Organization settings > Connectors).
Select "Add custom connector".
Enter the following address:
```
https://backend.chorilo.com/mcp
```
Claude will redirect you to the Chorilo sign-in page. Sign in with your usual email address and password.
On the following page, explicitly confirm that Claude may access your Chorilo account.
Done! Ask Claude directly: "What events does my choir have coming up?"

How to connect ChatGPT

Open ChatGPT and go to Settings > Apps & Connectors.
If not already enabled, turn on Developer Mode and select "Add connection".
Enter the following address:
```
https://backend.chorilo.com/mcp
```
Sign in on the Chorilo sign-in page with your usual credentials and confirm the authorisation.
Done! Ask ChatGPT directly about your choir's events.

Note: The exact labels in the settings may change slightly due to updates from OpenAI and Anthropic — if in doubt, simply search for "Connector" or "Apps". ChatGPT connectors currently require a paid plan.

Permission

No special permission required — every signed-in Chorilo user can connect their own account. What the assistant is then allowed to do is automatically governed by your own role in the respective choir.

Tips

Ask about your choirs first so the assistant knows which choir to work with if you are a member of more than one.
Check what the assistant is about to create or change before confirming — for events and announcements it will usually ask you again before saving anything.

Frequently asked questions

Does the connection cost extra?▾

No, Chorilo does not charge anything extra for this. You just need your own account with the respective AI provider — possibly with its own costs for connector features.

Can the AI assistant delete events or announcements?▾

No. The connection only allows reading, creating and editing — deleting is deliberately not possible and must still be done in the Chorilo app.

Can the AI see data from other choir members?▾

No. The assistant only sees what you would also see in the app yourself, and always acts only with your own permissions in your choir — never with those of other members.

How do I disconnect it again?▾

Remove the connector in the settings of your AI assistant. Access becomes invalid immediately and also expires automatically if it is not used for a while.
