- ChatGPT: install the Yoshi plugin.
- Any other assistant that supports custom MCP connectors, such as Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Perplexity: add Yoshi’s MCP server:
You need an existing Yoshi account with a passkey. You can’t create a Yoshi account from another assistant.
Connect ChatGPT
1
Open the Yoshi plugin
Go to chatgpt.com/plugins/yoshi. In Yoshi, you can also open Menu › Connections › ChatGPT and click Connect.
2
Install and connect
Click Install plugin, then Connect.
3
Sign in to Yoshi
Sign in to your Yoshi account, review the access ChatGPT is asking for, and click Allow access. Yoshi asks for your passkey.
4
Ask for Yoshi
In a ChatGPT conversation, type @Yoshi or pick Yoshi from the plugins menu, then ask your question.
Connect another assistant
Yoshi doesn’t have a native app for other assistants yet. Any assistant that supports custom remote MCP connectors can still use Yoshi through this URL:- Claude
- Claude Code
- Cursor
- Perplexity
- Other assistants
- In Claude, open Customize › Connectors.
- Click Add, then Add custom connector.
- Name it Yoshi and paste
https://agents.yoshi.ai/mcp. - Sign in to Yoshi and approve with your passkey.
- In a conversation, open the + menu › Connectors and turn on Yoshi.
What your assistant can do
Once connected, your assistant uses Yoshi’s tools on your behalf:
Your assistant can also get these ready for you: trades, transfers, checks, automations, and cancellations.
Some things stay in the Yoshi app: linking a bank account, paying other people, bill pay, and depositing a check. Your assistant can give you a link to the app for these.
What connecting does and doesn’t do
- Your assistant gets access to Yoshi’s tools for your account only. It doesn’t get your Yoshi chat history.
- Each person connects their own Yoshi account. One connection doesn’t cover anyone else.
- Yoshi doesn’t connect to other apps’ plugins, MCP servers, or agents. Your assistant connects to Yoshi, not the other way around.
See and remove connections
In Yoshi, open Menu › Connections:- ChatGPT shows Connect, Open ChatGPT once you’re connected, or Reconnect if the connection expired.
- Other assistants you’ve connected are listed with the date you connected them.
- In Yoshi on the web: open Menu › Connections, click … next to the assistant, then Revoke › Revoke access. The Yoshi iOS app can’t disconnect assistants yet.
- In ChatGPT: open Settings › Plugins › Yoshi, then Disconnect.
- In Claude: open Customize › Connectors, click ⋮ next to Yoshi, then Remove.
