Your team’s context.
A purposeful plan.

Bring data and intelligent planning together. Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Meta Muse) to your team’s context, then build a practice with animated drills and timers. You review the plan, make the coaching decisions, and keep every player’s development in view.

Try the connector free for five days. Have Magic Lineup on your phone and sign in to the account you coach with. Your five free days start on your first use of a connector tool, with no card or subscription setup. Try schedules, roster tasks, practice and game plans, animated drills, and analysis within your team permissions. After five days, Lineup Pro is required to keep using the connector. Nothing is charged automatically. Your assistant’s account or workspace may also limit custom connections.

Start with a prompt

Paste this into any AI assistant. Assistants that can add connectors themselves, like Meta Muse, will do it for you. Others will explain the steps for their app. You still sign in and approve access yourself. The manual steps below are always available.

Connect to the Magic Lineup MCP server at https://lineup-connect.parent-ai.com/mcp. If you can add a custom MCP connector yourself, do it now; otherwise tell me the exact steps for this app, using the official help pages, not guesses. I'll sign in with Apple or Google on the Magic Lineup page that opens. Never ask me for a password or pairing code in this chat. Once connected, show my teams.

Select the prompt to copy it manually.

Signing in, and approving changes. On the Magic Lineup page, choose Continue with Apple or Google (the same account as the app), or use a pairing code from Settings → AI apps. Claude and ChatGPT are approved on that page straight away. For other apps, reading works immediately. If you tick the permissions that let the assistant make changes, also approve the request in Magic Lineup → Settings → AI apps → Pending requests within 10 minutes. Keep the browser page open; it continues by itself once you approve.

Connect Claude

  1. Open Claude on the web or desktop (it then works on iOS and Android too). Go to Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector .
  2. Name it Magic Lineup , paste the server URL, and select Continue . Then select Connect to sign in.
  3. Continue with Apple or Google, the same account as the app; or use a pairing code from Settings → AI apps . Review the requested access and select Approve .
  4. Just ask: “Using Magic Lineup, show my teams.” If Claude doesn’t respond, turn Magic Lineup on under + → Connectors in the chat.

All Claude plans can add custom connectors; the free plan allows one. See Claude’s custom connector guide .

Connect ChatGPT

  1. Open chatgpt.com on the web (adding a server is web only). In the left rail choose Plugins → Add → Add custom MCP server .
  2. Name it Magic Lineup , paste the server URL, and leave Authentication on OAuth (it is detected automatically). Tick I understand and want to continue , choose Create as a plugin , then Connect Magic Lineup .
  3. Continue with Apple or Google, the same account as the app; or use a pairing code from Settings → AI apps . Review the requested access and select Approve .
  4. A normal chat works. Ask: “Using Magic Lineup, show my teams.” Typing @ and picking Magic Lineup also works, but isn’t required.

Custom MCP servers are available on ChatGPT Pro, Business and Enterprise/Edu plans; Free and Plus accounts may not see the option. Check the official OpenAI setup guide for your current interface.

Connect Gemini

  1. Open gemini.google.com on the web. Go to Customize → Connectors → + Custom .
  2. Paste the server URL and select Next . Tick I understand and accept… , select Connect , then Agree and continue .
  3. On the Magic Lineup page, continue with Apple or Google, the same account as the app; or use a pairing code from Settings → AI apps . Select Approve , then Connect on “Save your custom app”.
  4. In a chat, type @ and pick Lineup , then ask: “show my teams.”

Gemini lists the connection as “[Custom] Parent Ai”, and our page says it “calls itself Google · Not verified”. That is expected for Gemini. See the approval step above for changes. Google offers custom connectors in the US, to users 18 and over, on personal Google accounts, in English.

Connect Meta Muse

  1. In a Muse chat, ask: “Connect to the Magic Lineup MCP server at https://lineup-connect.parent-ai.com/mcp” (or paste the setup prompt above).
  2. Muse shows a sign-in link. Open it and continue with Apple or Google, the same account as the app; or use a pairing code from Settings → AI apps .
  3. Review the requested access and select Approve . Then ask: “Using Magic Lineup, show my teams.”

The page says “calls itself Muse · Not verified”, which is expected. See the approval step above for changes. Muse availability depends on Meta.

Other apps

We have not yet tested these ourselves. These are the paths their own documentation describes, so menus may differ.

  • Mistral Le Chat: Connectors → Add Connector → Custom MCP Connector.
  • Perplexity: Settings → Connectors → Add custom → Remote. Available on Pro, Max and Enterprise.
  • Grok: grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom.

Paste the server URL, then sign in and approve as above. Microsoft Copilot for consumers doesn’t support custom MCP servers at the moment.

Developer tools (Claude Code, Codex, VS Code)

Claude Code. If Magic Lineup is already connected on claude.ai, it appears automatically as “claude.ai Magic Lineup”. Otherwise run: 

claude mcp add --transport http lineup https://lineup-connect.parent-ai.com/mcp
claude mcp login lineup

You can also run /mcp in a session to sign in.

Codex (CLI, IDE and ChatGPT desktop share this setup): 

codex mcp add lineup --url https://lineup-connect.parent-ai.com/mcp
codex mcp login lineup

VS Code (GitHub Copilot chat). Open the Command Palette, run MCP: Add Server , choose HTTP , paste the server URL, and name it lineup . Then start the server and allow authentication. We have checked the sign-in protocol for VS Code but haven’t run a full chat yet.

Cursor isn’t supported yet.

Try it

Once connected, paste this into any assistant to check that it works.

Using Magic Lineup, show my teams and what's on my schedule this week.

Select the prompt to copy it manually.

Assistant instructions checked against official documentation and our own connections on October 25, 2026. Menus may change.

Start free. Plan more with Pro.

Attach a screenshot of your roster, then ask:

“Add all the players in this roster screenshot to my team. Check for players who are already on the roster so we don’t add duplicates.”

Attach a screenshot of your game schedule, then ask:

“Schedule the games in this screenshot for my team, including opponents, dates, times, and locations. Ask me about anything that’s missing or hard to read.”

Set up recurring practices with specific days, times, and a date range:

“Schedule practice for my team every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., November 3 through December 17, 2026, at Lincoln Park Field 2. Use America/Chicago time.”

During your five free days, and with Lineup Pro afterward

“Which players need more minutes this season?”
“Plan a 60-minute soccer practice focused on first touch.”
“Build a game plan for Saturday with a 50% playing-time floor.”

Review any plan in Magic Lineup before you use it. Your assistant doesn’t run the game or make live substitutions for you.

Five free days. Then choose whether to pay. Your free connector access ends after five days without a charge or subscription. To continue, visit the secure payment webpage, sign in to your Lineup account, and choose a monthly or yearly Lineup Pro plan. Connector checkout starts a paid subscription immediately, with no additional free trial. Stripe shows the price and renewal terms before you confirm. Existing Pro accounts keep access. The App Store subscription offer is separate.

What information am I sharing?

The connection can access the team information allowed by your account and the permissions you approve, including roster names, schedules, minutes, stats, and plans. It does not expose other parents’ contact details, billing information, or invite codes.

Your assistant provider handles the information it receives under its own policies. Read our Privacy Policy before connecting.

My pairing code expired

Pairing codes work once and expire after 10 minutes. Generate a fresh code in Settings → AI apps when the browser is ready for it.

My five free days have ended

The connector pauses all team tasks after your five free days. Open the payment webpage and sign in with the same account you use in Lineup. Subscribe to Lineup Pro, then return to your assistant and retry. You do not need to reconnect. Coaching in the Lineup app stays free.

I’m connected, but my team is missing

Pair using the Magic Lineup account you coach with. The connection can only access teams and information that account is allowed to see.

How do I manage a web subscription?

Start or reopen your assistant’s Magic Lineup connection and pair the same account you purchased with. On the secure consent screen, choose Manage web subscription to open Stripe’s billing portal. For help, email coach@lineup.parent-ai.com . Apple purchases are managed in your iPhone’s subscription settings instead.

How do I disconnect?

In Magic Lineup → Settings → AI apps , disconnect the assistant to revoke its access. You can also remove the connection in the assistant’s settings, but removing it there alone may not revoke the authorization stored by Magic Lineup.

I’m using a TestFlight build

TestFlight builds use the staging environment. Use https://lineup-connect.staging.parent-ai.com/mcp instead, in any of the apps above, and generate your pairing code in that TestFlight app. The other steps are the same.
