How to use Board with ChatGPT, Claude, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Muse and Dots

A lot of new AI assistants have come out. OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and now Muse and OpenAI’s Dots. Our Board connects to all of them, so you can pick the one you like and have it work on your boards. You need a Tactics Journal Pro account.

There are two ways to connect.

The first is the MCP server. It lives at https://board.tacticsjournal.com/mcp. If your assistant lets you add a custom connector or a remote MCP server, paste in that URL and sign in with your Pro account. In ChatGPT, that is under Settings, then Connectors, with Developer mode on. Then talk to it like you would an assistant coach. “Open my 4-3-3 pressing board and show me a rotation for the right side.”

The second is an agent link. Open a board, create an agent link, and paste it into any assistant that can read a URL. The link only works for that one board and it expires after 24 hours. You can also kill it early.

You choose what the agent can do. Propose is the default. The agent suggests changes and you accept or reject each one. Edit lets it change the board directly. I would start with propose.

Dots are the newest, my favorite option. They are personal agents that run in the background on their own computer. A Dot can connect to the MCP server and work on your boards with you.

I don’t think it matters which assistant wins. You have the ideas, the assistant does the tedious part of moving players around, and you are still the one making the decisions.
