Keep what you learn
Turn useful words and phrases from a conversation into cards. Preview a draft before adding it to your library.
Your conversations, remembered
Kikusho is an iPhone app that helps you learn a language from the words and phrases you discover. Turn them into flashcards with meanings and examples, then remember them with short reviews at the right time.
Connect your AI assistant to save what you learn in a conversation and practise it later in Kikusho.
Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and compatible AI apps. Free and Pro Kikusho accounts can connect.
From a conversation to your next review
“Save 連携 as a Japanese flashcard, with its reading and an example.”
連携
れんけい
Cooperation, coordination
チームで連携する。
Work together as a team.
Turn useful words and phrases from a conversation into cards. Preview a draft before adding it to your library.
Ask your assistant to find saved cards, explain their examples, or help you practise the words you have collected.
Check how many cards are due and how often you have reviewed. Complete your scheduled reviews in the iPhone app.
A few minutes to connect
New to Kikusho? Start with the iPhone app. Already using it? Make sure your cards are synced, then add the connector.
Download Kikusho for iPhone, sign in with Apple in the app, and let it sync. Use the same Apple account when connecting your assistant.
Use the URL below in your assistant’s custom connector settings. Your AI app or workspace must support remote MCP connections.
Use OAuth when your assistant asks how to connect.
Open the custom app or connector settings available to your account. Add the connector URL, choose OAuth, and use automatic client registration if asked. Developer mode may be required for a custom connection.
Open Customize → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, and enter the URL. Choose “Sign in now” and “Register automatically” if these options appear, then connect.
Add a remote MCP server named Kikusho in your MCP settings using the URL above, then sign in. If you use the command line:
codex mcp add kikusho --url https://kikusho-api-sakzhfyfsa-ew.a.run.app/mcp --oauth-client-registration dcr
codex mcp login kikusho --scopes library:read,progress:read,cards:generate,cards:writeSign in with Apple, review the permissions, and allow access. Then try: “Find my Japanese cards about food” or “Create a card for 連携 and show me the draft.”
When you want to keep it, ask your assistant to save the card. Open Kikusho and sync to see it on your iPhone.
Good to know
No. Free and Pro accounts can connect. Generating a draft with Kikusho uses the same generation allowance as the iPhone app. Saving cards composed by your assistant does not use that allowance. Your AI assistant’s own plan and limits still apply.
With your permission, it can read synced card text, examples, notes, tags, learning preferences, account allowance, and study statistics. It can generate drafts and add new cards. This connector does not access photos or audio, edit or delete existing cards, or submit reviews.
No. Generated drafts remain separate from your library and expire after 24 hours. Ask your assistant to save the cards you want to keep. Cards written by an assistant are checked for structure; they have not received Kikusho’s separate language audit.
Manage connected assistants to revoke access at any time. Disconnecting prevents future access; it does not remove information already shared in your assistant’s conversations. See our privacy policy for details.
Open Kikusho on your iPhone, confirm you are signed in with the same Apple account, and let it sync. Cards stored only on your phone cannot be read by the connector. Search uses your selected learning language by default.
