Use GoalNexa with Claude

Last updated 2026-10-05

GoalNexa tracks goals with measurable metrics. Connected to Claude, you can plan a goal, log progress and review how you're doing just by chatting - on claude.ai, the desktop app or the Claude mobile app. "Ran 12 km today" is enough: Claude finds the metric, records it and tells you where you stand.

What you need

  • A GoalNexa account. You can create one while connecting - the Free plan is enough to start.
  • Claude on any plan that supports connectors.

Connect

  1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors. Find GoalNexa in the directory and choose Connect - or choose Add custom connector and enter https://<this site>/api/v1/mcp.
  2. Sign in to GoalNexa (or sign up, then confirm your email - the link brings you back), and choose Allow.
  3. Back in Claude, enable the connector in a chat (the tools menu) and try one of the prompts below. A connector added on the web also works in the Claude mobile app.

Things to try

  • "I want to run a half marathon by November - set it up as a goal."
  • "Ran 12 km this morning."
  • "We're at 420 beta users." (for an organization goal)
  • "How are my goals doing this week?"
  • "Show me a chart of my running goal."
  • "Remind me by email every Monday at 8 if a check-in is due."

Write in any language - Claude answers in yours. Replies end with a link that opens the goal on your GoalNexa dashboard.

What Claude can do

Claude acts as you, with exactly your access - it sees and changes only what you could in the web app.

Read

  • Goals, metrics, check-ins - List and read your goals, their metrics and every check-in, with progress, projection and health.
  • Goal progress chart - A goal's readings over time, for Claude to draw or summarize.
  • Cycles, scores, activity, comments - Your quarters (or other periods), their scores, what changed on a goal, and its comments.
  • Organizations and members - The organizations you belong to and who is in them.
  • Reminder settings - Where your check-in reminders and digest go.

Write

  • Create - Goals, metrics, check-ins, cycles, comments, invitations to your organization.
  • Update - Any of those you're allowed to change, and your reminder settings.
  • Delete - Only when you ask. Claude asks you to confirm before deleting or changing data.

Account administration (users, roles, system settings) stays in the web app and isn't available to Claude. Plan limits apply the same way as on the website: if one is reached, Claude tells you and gives you the link to upgrade.

Your data

  • Claude reads and changes your GoalNexa data only while you use the connector, through the same API and permissions as the website. GoalNexa doesn't receive your Claude conversations - only the calls Claude makes to it.
  • Check-ins made by Claude are marked "AI agent" in your goal's activity, so you can always tell them apart.
  • Disconnect any time: remove the connector in Claude, or revoke it under MCP access in GoalNexa - it stops working at once.
  • Details in the privacy policy.

Troubleshooting

  • Claude doesn't use the tools - check the connector is enabled for the chat (the tools menu).
  • "Not allowed" or nothing found - Claude only sees what your account sees; an organization's private goal needs you to be one of its members.
  • Connecting fails - remove the connector and add it again; you'll be asked to sign in once more.
