Claude Code

Personal Productivity

Automate admin work, manage communications, and coordinate tasks—all in natural language through MCP-connected tools.

Overview

Personal productivity workflows help you reclaim time spent on repetitive admin tasks. By connecting Claude Code to your email, calendar, task management, and research tools through MCP, you can automate the busywork that consumes hours each week. Instead of manually checking emails, updating tasks, and researching topics, you describe what you need in natural language and Claude handles the execution.
