Familia has an MCP server for AI assistants

Note: Familia (formerly Asynq Family) is the new name for the app.

Familia is built as a mobile-first family operations app, currently available on iOS.

The native app is where a household captures plans, responsibilities, reminders, shared lists, attachments, and agreements. The web companion helps when a larger screen is useful.

But families also increasingly use AI assistants as a place to ask practical questions:

  • what are we doing today?
  • what is overdue?
  • when do we have a free weekend?
  • can you add this plan or checklist to the family board?

That is why Familia has a dedicated MCP server.

What MCP means here

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. In Familia, it gives compatible assistants a structured way to work with permitted family context instead of guessing from copied messages or screenshots.

The production remote endpoint is:

https://mcp.family.asynq.org/mcp

OAuth protected-resource metadata is available at:

https://mcp.family.asynq.org/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource

The important part is permission. MCP access is not a public feed of family data. It uses authorized household context, OAuth connector flows, or MCP tokens generated from Familia.

What assistants can do

With proper authorization, an MCP-compatible assistant can:

  • list accessible households
  • read a day or weekly family overview
  • search tasks, plans, and calendar events
  • create tasks, list tasks, and plans
  • update or delete tasks and plans
  • work with checklist and photo attachments
  • find free days from family availability

This turns AI from a separate conversation into a useful layer around the family board.

Why this matters

A family planner should not force people to copy context between tools.

If a parent asks an assistant whether Thursday is overloaded, the assistant needs real structure: plans, responsibilities, calendar events, overdue work, and availability rules. If someone asks it to add a packing list to a trip, the assistant should create a real family item instead of leaving another note in chat.

That is the role of Familia MCP.

The mobile app remains the primary product surface. MCP is a controlled interoperability layer for households that want their family board to meet the AI tools they already use.
