Skeleton Key with AI

Connect your AI assistant to Skeleton Key so it can help plan your trip. Two things make that work. Tools give it access to your trip directly: create trips, add rooms, and build or adjust the schedule, with no copying between chat and browser. Skills provide the Skeleton Key team's approach to scheduling escape-room trips: pacing the days, pinning only real bookable times, and checking travel before committing. The plugin below bundles both; the other options let you add them piece by piece. Nothing about how you use Skeleton Key today changes; this is here whenever you want it.

The Skeleton Key plugin

For Claude (web, desktop, and Claude Code).

The plugin bundles both at once: the tools to work on your trip, and Skeleton Key's scheduling skill, always on. Two commands in Claude Code; a few steps on claude.ai.

Needs a paid Claude plan (Pro and up). On Free, use the connector below.

In Claude Code

  1. Run /plugin marketplace add useskeletonkey/skeleton-key-plugin, then /plugin install skeleton-key@skeleton-key.
  2. Sign in when prompted (OAuth) on the first tool call. The skill and tools load together.

On claude.ai (web & desktop)

  1. In Settings (or Customize), open Plugins, choose Add, then Add marketplace, then Add from a repository, and add useskeletonkey/skeleton-key-plugin.
  2. Enable the Skeleton Key plugin - its scheduling skill turns on right away.
  3. Open the plugin, go to Connectors, and Install the Skeleton Key connector; sign in when prompted (OAuth).

Other ways to connect

Not on Claude, or on the Free plan? Connect Skeleton Key as an MCP connector (the standard way assistants plug into outside tools) so your assistant can work on your trip. Paste this server URL wherever your assistant asks for one:

https://useskeletonkey.com/api/mcp

Sign in when prompted (OAuth). No API key needed.

Claude Any plan, including Free. Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.

ChatGPT Needs a paid plan with Developer Mode on (Settings, then Apps & Connectors, then Advanced). Then add a custom connector.

Cursor / VS Code One-click install with the buttons below.

Gemini The consumer app can't add MCP servers yet; use the Gemini CLI or API.

Add the skill

Skeleton Key's scheduling skill ships as a standard SKILL.md. On Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex, drop it into your agent's skills folder, and your assistant plans with that skill, just like the plugin does on Claude.
