Add the Pick My Costume connector

This connector gives your AI assistant three costume-picking tools, backed by 169 real costume ideas with step-by-step build guides. It is read-only: it never buys anything, never asks for an account, and never collects your data. Your questions are processed in memory and not logged.

Add it in Claude

Once it is listed: open Claude's connectors directory, search for Pick My Costume, and add it.

Otherwise: in Claude's settings, add a custom connector and paste the connector URL above. (Again, the exact labels shift as these products update; look for connectors or custom integrations.)

Add it in ChatGPT

The easiest way, once it is listed: open the plugins directory in ChatGPT, search for Pick My Costume, and install it with one click.

Before it is listed, the manual route needs developer mode in ChatGPT, which is not on every plan. Check your plan in ChatGPT's settings, then add a custom MCP server and paste the connector URL above.

What the three tools do

Pick a costume. Say who it is for, what they're into, the vibe, and how much effort you want, and get 3 costume ideas, each with a one-line reason it fits. Mention things you own and ideas you can build from them rank higher.
Get a build guide. Pick any idea and get the full how-to: materials list, numbered steps, a timed estimate of how long it takes (hands-on time plus drying time), and answers to common questions. Build times are estimates. Yours may vary.
Search by what you own. List stuff you already have at home (a bedsheet, cardboard, face paint) and get ideas ranked by how much of each one you can already make, plus what you would still need.
