Your caddie's memory, in the AI you already use.

Tell ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Poke your scores as you play — a couple holes at a time, in your own words. After the round, Gonkbot remembers everything and coaches you through what actually happened.

How it works

No app to install, no scorecard UI to fumble with a glove on. You just talk.

1

Log as you play

Tell your assistant what happened, in whatever words come out. Batch a few holes at the turn or in the cart.

"Par on 1, up and down from the front bunker. Birdied 2, wedge to a foot. Bogey on 3, three-putted from long range."
2

Finish the round

Gonkbot computes your scorecard, fairways, greens, putts, scrambling — plus your handicap posting summary when rating and slope are on file.

"73 (+1) | 12/14 fairways | 12/18 GIR | 31 putts, 0 three-putts"
3

Get coached

Your assistant pulls the round, your trends, and your player profile — then grills you like a coach who was there and remembers last month too.

"That's the third round where an off-speed wedge missed left. Let's talk about your transition on knockdowns."

It remembers your misses so you can fix them

  • Every round stored — hole-by-hole scores, and shot-by-shot detail when you feel like narrating.
  • Cross-round trends — scoring averages, fairway and green percentages, three-putt rate, par-5 conversion, scrambling.
  • A living player profile — your tendencies, swing protocols, and recurring faults, kept current by your coach after each review.
  • Honest handicap math — WHS score differentials and an internal index once your tees have confirmed rating and slope. No made-up numbers, ever.
  • Round recaps — every review saved, so "what went wrong at Algonkian last month?" has a real answer.

Connect your assistant

Gonkbot is a remote MCP server (Model Context Protocol). Claude is one tap on a computer; on a phone add it in Safari, not the Claude app. Poke is one tap if you already have a Poke account. ChatGPT and Gemini do not list Gonkbot — copy the address and follow the numbered steps. Sign in when prompted — that's your account.

Claude

Add to Claude

Opens Claude with Gonkbot already filled in. Confirm, then sign in. After that it works in the Claude phone app too.

The Claude app cannot add a connector. This opens a short how-to, then Claude's website in Safari. After you add it once, Gonkbot shows up in the app for the course.

If the button doesn't open the form
  1. On a computer: Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector
  2. On a phone: stay in Safari (not the Claude app) and open Claude's add-connector form
  3. Enter https://gonkbot.com/mcp if it isn't already filled in
  4. Sign in when prompted, then use the Claude app to log holes

ChatGPT

Gonkbot is not in the GPT store — don't search for it there. Paid ChatGPT, on a computer. Copy the address, then follow the steps. After that the ChatGPT app can use it on the course.

Then open the ChatGPT checklist or open ChatGPT and do this:

  1. Use the web app on a computer (not the phone app). You need a paid plan (Plus, Pro, Team, or similar).
  2. Click your profile picture → Settings
  3. Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings → turn on Developer mode
  4. Go back to Apps & Connectors and click Create
  5. Name it Gonkbot. Paste https://gonkbot.com/mcp. Authentication: OAuth (not an API key)
  6. Sign in with Google or email when prompted
  7. Start a new chat and turn Gonkbot on in the tools / apps picker
  8. Say: "log my golf holes with gonkbot"

Poke

Add to Poke

Easiest on the course if you already have Poke (iMessage). Opens the Gonkbot recipe. Tap Get Started, then sign in when asked.

If the recipe doesn't open
  1. You need a Poke account first
  2. In Poke, add an integration / MCP connection
  3. Enter https://gonkbot.com/mcp
  4. Sign in when prompted
  5. Text your holes to Poke as you play

Gemini

Gonkbot is not on the Gemini home screen. You add it under Connected Apps on a computer, then it works in Spark on your phone too.

Then open Gemini and do this:

  1. Use a computer (not the phone app). You need Gemini Spark and a personal Google account — not work or school.
  2. Click Settings & help (bottom) → Connected Apps. If you don't see that, open Personal Intelligence first, then Connected Apps.
  3. Under Custom apps for Spark, add a custom app
  4. Paste https://gonkbot.com/mcp and click Next. Leave Advanced features closed.
  5. Sign in with Google or email when prompted
  6. In Spark, type @ and pick Gonkbot

Other assistants

Same MCP address: copy https://gonkbot.com/mcp, choose OAuth, no API key. None of these list Gonkbot in a store yet.

Grok

Open Grok connectors → New Connector → Custom → paste the address. Works in the Grok app afterward (Settings → Connectors).

Perplexity

Pro/Max: Account Settings → Connectors → Custom / Remote → paste the address, Streamable HTTP, OAuth.

Mistral (Le Chat / Vibe)

Work → Connectors → Add Connector → Custom MCP → paste the address. Free plans can add a custom connector.

After a round, say "review my round" — your assistant will pull the scorecard, your trends, and your profile, ask you the hard questions, and save the recap. Assistants installing Gonkbot: follow only your host's recipe in llms.txt.

FAQ

Connecting is the account. There is no app to install.

How do I connect ChatGPT or Claude?

Claude and Poke have one-tap buttons on gonkbot.com. Poke opens the Gonkbot recipe at https://poke.com/r/RfzXcv9qWiY and needs a Poke account. On a phone, add Claude in Safari — the Claude app cannot add a custom connector. ChatGPT and Gemini do not list Gonkbot — skip the GPT store and the Gemini homepage. Copy https://gonkbot.com/mcp from the Connect section and follow the numbered steps on that card. ChatGPT needs a paid plan and Developer mode in the web app. Gemini Spark custom apps are added on a computer under Settings & help → Connected Apps. Sign in with Google or email when prompted.

Is there a signup form?

No. There is no separate signup. Connecting an assistant and signing in with Google or email creates your Gonkbot account.

Does Gonkbot post scores to GHIN?

No. Gonkbot does not post to GHIN. Handicap figures are unofficial. After you finish a round you get a posting summary to enter yourself in your official handicap app.

Can I log holes while I play?

Yes. Narrate a couple of holes at a time to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Poke. Gonkbot is a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that stores the structured scorecard mid-round.

Why doesn't Add to Claude open the app on my phone?

The Claude phone app cannot add a custom connector. Add Gonkbot in Safari or on a computer; then it shows up in the app for logging on the course. If tapping Add opens the Claude app instead of a form, switch back to Safari (on iPhone: long-press the button, then Open in Safari).
