Apps let Tome run prompts for you automatically: on a schedule, when files change, or on-demand. You can pair them with any model you’ve set up and extend their abilities with MCP servers to automate real workflows.

​
Triggers

  • Scheduled → run Hourly or Daily at the interval you choose.
  • Filesystem → watch a directory and trigger when a file is created, updated, or deleted.
  • Manual → right-click an app’s name in the sidebar and choose Run.

​
Creating an App

  1. Open Apps and click +.
  2. Fill in the form:
    • Name → a label you’ll recognize later.
    • Trigger → Scheduled, Filesystem, or Manual.
    • Model → pick from your configured models.
    • Prompts → add one or more prompts the app should run.
    • MCP → toggle the servers the app can use (e.g., Playwright, Slack).
  3. Click Save.
Each app has its own History panel, showing recent runs (time, status, results).

​
Using MCP in Apps

Apps can call any enabled MCP servers during their run. For example:
  • Playwright MCP → automate browsing and page inspection.
  • Slack MCP / Discord MCP → send alerts and updates to your team.
  • GitHub MCP / Linear MCP / Atlassian MCP → create issues, update tickets, or fetch project data.
  • Notion MCP / Confluence MCP → read or update documentation databases.
  • S3 MCP → push or pull files as part of a workflow.

​
Tips

  • Model Choice → Apps use whichever model you configure (independent of your Chat favorite).
  • Scope MCPs → Only enable the servers an app actually needs.
  • Manual Runs → Right-click an app → Run. Use History to review results.

​
Security Note

Only install and run trusted MCP servers. Some malicious packages have been found in the wild (for example, a rogue npm MCP that exfiltrated credentials). Always review code and credentials before enabling a new server.
