Integrations: everything it connects to.

The rules, for all of them

• They connect from inside the app, with the integration's own button. There are no keys to ask us for and no files to edit.
• Each one asks for its own permission and touches only what this page says it does. The detail of what data each one sees is in the Privacy Policy.
• They disconnect whenever you want from the same screen, and access is cut immediately.
• Calendar, ClickUp and Jira live in the workspace, so you can have one account in your personal space and another in your work one. The ones that belong to your account — MCP, chat, two-step verification — follow you into all of them.

Calendar

Two routes: the whole calendar over OAuth, or an iCal address. You connect them from the workspace switcher → Edit workspace → Calendar.

• Google CalendarTwo-way sync: your events show up next to your tasks, and what you schedule goes back into the calendar.
• Microsoft · Outlook CalendarThe same two-way sync. It works for a personal account and a work one alike.
• Apple CalendarBy iCal address, and also both ways: you bring your events in, and you subscribe to your tasks from the calendar on your phone.

secondbrain is a Microsoft partner: a member of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program and a verified publisher in Microsoft Entra. That is why, when you connect Outlook, Microsoft's permission screen shows the blue verification badge next to our name.

Tasks

Both sync live and both ways, and you connect them from Edit workspace → Integrations. A task lives in a single tool: if you have both connected, you choose where new tasks go.

New tasks with nowhere else to go end up in the list or project marked Default for new tasks, and statuses are translated on their own by category. What holds for both —how they connect, where each task goes, the status table— is in Tasks.

In a shared board, whoever gets it sees ClickUp and Jira tasks but only edits them with their own account in the tool, and only if they have permission there: secondbrain never writes to your ClickUp or your Jira on someone else's behalf. Sharing a board with tasks from there asks you to confirm it.

ClickUp

• ClickUpTwo-way sync. When you connect, all your lists come in switched on; assignees come in as related people, tags as Atlas tags and each list as an Atlas project.

• Title, description, due date, status, assignees, tags and groups travel. Priority, comments and attachments stay in ClickUp.
• Deleting a task here sends it to the ClickUp trash, where it can be recovered for 30 days.

Jira

• JiraYou authorize with Atlassian and switch on the projects you want: both ways or pull-only, with every issue or only the ones assigned to you. Projects and epics are still created in Jira.

• Summary, description, due date, span, status —through your workflow's transitions—, the assignee as owner, and labels travel. Priority, comments and logged time stay in Jira.
• Deleting a task here does not delete the issue: it closes it as Won't Do.

Chat

Capturing without opening the app: you type, send a voice note or a photo from the messenger you already have open, and it lands in your daily note.

• WhatsAppText, audio and photos into your daily note. The reminders you write come back through the same chat.
• TelegramThe same bot, the same commands and the same assistant behind them. It links with a code, no phone number.

AI clients and automations

secondbrain publishes a remote MCP server: anything that speaks the protocol can search, read and operate your workspace with your permission. It is the integration nobody has to build one by one — if your tool speaks MCP, it is already connected.

• ClaudeA remote connector over OAuth, on the web, the desktop and the phone. There is no token to copy.
• ChatGPTYour own connector in developer mode, over OAuth as well. It needs a paid ChatGPT plan.
• GeminiA custom app in Gemini Spark, over OAuth as well. For now Google limits it to personal accounts in the US.
• Cursor, Claude Code and editorsThe ones configured with a file use a token you generate yourself and revoke whenever you want.
• Any other MCP clientThe server is published in the protocol's public registry, so clients that query it find it on their own.
• n8nIts MCP client node points at the same address with your token: that is where when this happens, write it into the daily note comes from.
• ZapierIt works the other way round: it publishes its own MCP server, so one AI client can have both switched on in the same conversation.
• MakeSame as Zapier — the bridge is the client, which talks to both servers and moves things from one to the other.

Browser

The Web Clipper is an extension: it installs from the Chrome Web Store and works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and the rest of the Chromium-based browsers.

• Google ChromeWhere the extension is published. ⌘⇧S opens it over the page you are reading.
• Microsoft EdgeIt installs from the same store: Edge takes Chrome extensions with nothing in between.
• BraveSame package, same store. What the extension sends is the page exactly as you are seeing it.
• ArcAlso built on Chromium, so the extension goes in just the same.

Signing in, and the second factor

You sign in with email and password or with Google, and you can add a six-digit code from the app you already use. The standard is TOTP: any of them works.

• Sign in with GoogleA button instead of a password. On the phone it opens the system browser, so the app never sees your credentials.
• Apple PasswordsKeeps the code in the keychain and autofills it. If you already use Apple's manager, there is nothing else to install.
• Google AuthenticatorScan the QR and you are done. The codes copy up to your Google account, so they survive a change of phone.
• Microsoft AuthenticatorThe same thing with a Microsoft cloud backup. It is usually the one already installed on a work phone.
• 1PasswordIf you already use a password manager, the second factor can live there, right next to the password.
• Authy and any other TOTP appThe standard is the same for all of them, and secondbrain does not know — or care — which one you picked.
