Use dibbed with AI assistants
Connect dibbed to Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant, then run your sign-ups by asking — “make a roster for Saturday's clean-up”, “who's still pending?”, “grab me a spot on this link”.
Connector URL
Paste this into your assistant's connector settings.
https://dibbed.app/mcp
Claude
1
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors.
2
Choose Add custom connector, name it dibbed, and paste the connector URL.
3
Tap Connect. Sign in to dibbed and tap Allow.
ChatGPT
1
In ChatGPT's settings, find Apps & Connectors (custom connectors may need to be turned on, and a paid plan).
2
Create a connector with the connector URL.
3
Connect, sign in to dibbed and tap Allow.
Other assistants
dibbed works with any assistant that supports remote MCP connectors with sign-in — for example Gemini (where available), Microsoft Copilot, Alexa+, Cursor and VS Code. Add the connector URL where the assistant lets you add a connector or MCP server, then sign in to dibbed and tap Allow.
Once your drops are live
“Who's signed up for the clean-up? Is anyone waiting for approval?”
“Approve Sam's dibs, and close the potluck sign-ups on Friday at 6pm.”
“Call dibs on this link for me: dibbed.app/d/k7m2qx”
“What volunteering is listed in Melbourne this week?”
Single item or roster?
Every drop is one of two kinds — the same two as in the app. Your assistant checks which one you want before it creates anything, and explains the choice for your event.
Single Item or Spot
One kind of thing, so many of them. People claim in one tap; once it's full, the rest join the waitlist.
Best for: Cakes or tickets for sale, gear to lend, “6 volunteers”, one shift to cover.
Try asking
“Make a single-item drop: 12 cheesecakes, $35 each, max 2 per person, pickup Saturday 2pm.”
“Single drop for 6 volunteers to set up the school fair, Saturday 8–11am.”
“I need one person to cover Friday's 4–10pm register shift. I'll approve who gets it.”
Multi-Item Roster
A list of different things, each with its own number of spots. People pick what they're taking. Items can have a description, a photo, their own limit, or no limit.
Best for: Potluck dishes, volunteer roles, named shifts (Mon / Tue / Wed), garage-sale items.
Try asking
“Make a roster for the beach clean-up: 4 drivers, 10 litter pickers, 2 first-aiders.”
“Potluck roster: 3 salads, 2 desserts, 4 drinks, unlimited “just coming”. Ask about allergies.”
“Roster for the garage sale: blue lamp $20, side table $40, kids' bike $35 — one each.”
Not sure? If people are all signing up for the same thing, it's a single item. If they're choosing between different things — dishes, roles, days — it's a roster.
Tips for better results
•
Say which kind you want — or describe what people are signing up for and your assistant will ask.
•
Give the numbers: how many spots, or how many of each item.
•
Say when: the event's day with its start and end (“Saturday 9am–12pm”), and — separately — when sign-ups should close (“Friday 3pm”). Mention your time zone if you travel.
•
Limits: “max 2 per person”, or per item for rosters.
•
Want to choose who gets a spot? Say “I'll approve each one” — otherwise spots are confirmed instantly.
•
Questions to ask people: “ask for their T-shirt size” or “ask if they're over 18”.
•
Public or link-only: drops are shared by link unless you say “list it publicly in Melbourne”.
•
Kinds can't be swapped once people sign up — your assistant can make a new drop of the other kind instead.
What it can do
•
Create drops and rosters, with items, limits, questions and times
•
Show who's signed up, who's waiting for approval and who's on the waitlist
•
Approve, pass or release dibs, and edit, close or reopen your drops
•
Call dibs for you, list your dibs, and find public drops in a city
•
Add photos — with a photo picker right in the chat, or an edit link for later
What it won't do
•
Never sees anyone's mobile number — those stay in dibbed
•
Follows the same rules as the app: first come, first served, limits and the waitlist
•
Only acts for the account you connect, and only after you tap Allow
Photos
After creating a drop, your assistant asks whether you'd like to add photos. Choose now and, in assistants that support it, a dibbed photo picker opens right in the chat — add cover photos or a photo for each item. Choose later and you get an edit link to add them from the dibbed app or website any time.
