Use your AI assistant with PositionGuard

Ask “Who’s home?” and get an answer that respects what each person chose to share.

Connect your assistant to your PositionGuard groups and ask things like “Who is at the lake house?” or “How many people are home?”. It answers from the same presence your group already sees in the app, with one extra rule: every member decides for themselves whether assistants can see them.

Connect Claude in two minutes

There is nothing to install and no key to copy. You add one connector, and approve it in the PositionGuard app.

1. In the PositionGuard app, open the Assistants tab and turn on Let AI agents see whether I’m at an area.
2. In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it PositionGuard and use this address:
   https://mcp.positionguardai.com/mcpCopy
3. Click Connect. A PositionGuard page shows a short code and a QR code.
4. Scan the QR code with your phone’s camera, or open the app and go to Assistants → Approve a connection and type the code. Check that it says Claude, claude.ai and Verified, then tap Allow.
5. Back in Claude, ask “Who’s at home?”

Requires PositionGuard for Android 0.9.9 or newer, or for iPhone 2.2 or newer (rolling out now, stay tuned). The code is valid for 10 minutes and only works in your app.

Other assistants

Any assistant that can add a remote MCP connector with sign-in can use the same address. Claude is verified today. Other assistants show as Unverified on the approval screen, so check the name and the web address it shows before you tap Allow.

See and remove connections

The Assistants tab lists every assistant you’ve connected and when it last asked something. Tap Revoke and it loses access on its very next question. Turning the switch off pauses all of them at once.

Each person decides

Every member has their own switch, Let AI agents see whether I’m at an area, on the Assistants tab, on Home and in Settings. It’s off until they turn it on. They can also hide themselves at a single area from that area’s settings.

For anyone who hasn’t turned it on, your assistant gets unknown, not “away”, and is told that more people may be there than it can name. It says it doesn’t know rather than guessing. Your own switch matters too: if it’s off, your assistants see no one.

What an assistant can and can’t see

• Which area someone is in, by name, such as Home or Lake House, and when they arrived
• How many people are at an area
• Never exact locations, and never location history
• Only areas in groups you share with that person
• Read-only: it can’t change anything or send messages

For tinkerers

Prefer to run things yourself? These use an Assistant key from the developer portal instead of the sign-in above.

• Muse. The PositionGuard skill for Muse installs straight from GitHub.
• Your own MCP server. Run the open-source PositionGuard MCP server, for example with Open WebUI or Home Assistant.

When you create the key, pick type Assistant, not Integration: only an Assistant key respects each person’s switch. Integration keys are for home hubs like Home Assistant and Hubitat. Use the scopes presence:read, counts:read and groups:read, and leave areas:read off, since it includes where each area is on the map. The key is shown once; revoke it from the portal if you stop using it.
