Discuss in your AI assistant
Use Discuss from Claude, ChatGPT, Jamaa and other assistants
Connect Tyms Discuss and ask your assistant to catch you up on a room, find what was decided, or post a reply for you. It works in the same rooms and direct messages your team sees in the browser, as you.
The address
Add this address to your assistant as a connector (also called an MCP server). It's the same for everyone:
https://discuss.tyms.ai/mcpThe first time your assistant connects, you sign in with your Tyms account and choose the workspace it works in. No account yet? Get started for free; an owner or admin switches Discuss on for your organisation in one click. In Jamaa there's nothing to add: it uses Discuss once Discuss is on.
Set it up
Claude
- In Claude (web or desktop), open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Name it Tyms Discuss and paste the address as the URL.
- Select Connect, sign in with your Tyms account and choose your workspace.
- In a chat, turn on Tyms Discuss from the tools menu and ask it to catch you up on a room or what's unread.
On Claude Team or Enterprise, an owner may need to add the connector for the organisation first; then each person selects Connect.
ChatGPT
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
- Back in Apps & Connectors, choose Create. Name it Tyms Discuss, paste the address and pick OAuth.
- Sign in with your Tyms account and choose your workspace.
- In a chat, add Tyms Discuss from the tools menu.
Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan; on Business plans an admin may need to allow them.
Jamaa
- Nothing to add. When Jamaa and Discuss are both switched on for your workspace, Jamaa can use Discuss as you.
- Ask Jamaa in any conversation, for example to catch you up on a room or post an update to it.
- In Discuss itself, mention @jamaa in a room, thread or direct message to ask it there. It answers in the conversation, with your access, and doesn't make changes from a chat.
Claude Code
- Run
claude mcp add --transport http tyms-discuss https://discuss.tyms.ai/mcpin your terminal. - In Claude Code, run
/mcp, choose tyms-discuss and sign in.
Cursor
- Open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server.
- Paste the address. Cursor asks you to sign in the first time it uses Discuss.
VS Code
- Run MCP: Add Server from the command palette, choose HTTP and paste the address.
- Use it from Copilot Chat in agent mode; VS Code asks you to sign in the first time.
Other assistants
- Any assistant that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP with OAuth can connect: add a server with the address and sign in when asked.
Assistant menus change from time to time; if a step doesn't match what you see, look for “connectors”, “apps” or “MCP” in its settings.
Try asking
- “Catch me up on everything unread.”
- “Summarise what #product decided this week.”
- “Find where we agreed the delivery dates with the supplier.”
- “Post in #ops that the stock count moves to Thursday.”
Assistants that offer prompts also list ready-made ones, such as catching up on what you missed, summarising a room and drafting a reply.
What it can do
- It acts as you. It sees the rooms and messages you can see and can do what you can do in Discuss, nothing more.
- It catches you up. What's unread, what a room or thread decided, and what is still waiting on you.
- It finds what was said. Search across the messages you can see, instead of scrolling back.
- It posts when you ask. To a room, a thread or a direct message, as you, with “via Claude” (or your assistant's name) under the message so everyone can tell.
- Messages are data, not instructions. What people wrote is handed to your assistant as text to read and report on, never as orders for it to follow.
- Same price as the browser. Messages it posts count towards your workspace's 10,000 free a month, then $1 per 1,000.
Tools
What your assistant may call. Tools that read need permission to read Discuss (discuss:read); tools that change something need permission to post (discuss:contribute). Read-only access offers only the tools that read.
| Tool | What it does | Kind |
|---|---|---|
list_rooms | Lists the rooms and direct messages you're in, marking those with unread messages. | Reads |
read_room | Shows the recent messages of a room or direct message, or one thread. | Reads |
search_messages | Searches the messages you can see. | Reads |
list_unread | Lists the rooms and direct messages with messages you haven't read. | Reads |
post_message | Posts to a room, thread or direct message as you, marked “via Claude” (or your assistant's name). | Changes |
create_room | Creates an open room anyone in the workspace can join, or a closed one for the people you invite. | Changes |
Privacy and control
- See and disconnect. Every assistant you've allowed, in which workspace and when it was last used, is on Connected apps. Disconnecting ends its access within the hour.
- Admins decide. Owners and admins can turn assistants off for the whole workspace in Tyms Admin, which disconnects every assistant there at once. Someone removed from a workspace loses their assistants' access with it.
- No conversations kept. Discuss records which assistant called which tool and what it posted, never the text of your chats with your assistant.
- Secure sign-in. Assistants sign in through auth.tyms.ai with OAuth; they never see your password, and their access expires and renews on its own.
Read the privacy policy and terms.
Questions
Which workspace does my assistant use?
The one you choose when you connect. Everyone uses the same address; after you sign in, Tyms lists your workspaces that have Discuss switched on and you pick one. To switch, disconnect it in Connected apps and connect again. To connect one workspace only, without being asked, use its own address: your-team.discuss.tyms.ai/mcp.
Can my assistant read every room?
No. It acts as you, so it sees only what you can see in Discuss. Closed rooms and direct messages you're not in stay out of its reach.
Will people know a message came from my assistant?
Yes. A message your assistant posts is sent as you, with “via Claude” (or your assistant's name, such as “via Jamaa”) under it, so nobody mistakes it for you typing.
Can someone's message tell my assistant what to do?
Discuss hands your assistant the messages it reads as data to report on, not as instructions to follow. It still only does what you ask, and it can't post anywhere you can't.
It says AI assistants are turned off for this workspace.
An owner or admin of the workspace has turned assistants off in Tyms Admin. Ask them to turn “Allow AI assistants to connect” back on. This setting is for outside assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT; Jamaa follows whether Jamaa and Discuss are switched on.
It says Discuss is switched off, or offers no workspace.
Discuss isn't on for your workspace yet. An owner or admin can switch it on for free at discuss.tyms.ai. If you don't have a Tyms account, get started there with your work email.
Does my assistant cost extra?
No. Messages count the same whoever sends them: the first 10,000 each month are free per workspace, then $1 per 1,000 messages.
What does Tyms keep about my conversations?
Nothing from your chats with your assistant. Discuss keeps the messages posted in it, as for anyone, and records which assistant called which tool, in which workspace. It never sees or stores the text of your conversation with your assistant.
Still stuck?
Email support@tyms.ai with the assistant you're using and what it said. We'll help you get connected.
