For AI agents

Ask your assistant to send a kudo for you.

Kudo works with ChatGPT, Claude, and any agent that can call a tool or make a web request. Tell it "send Priya a kudo about how much she means to me" and it can write, seal, and hand you the link.

Connect it as an MCP server

The quickest way. No keys, no accounts. Add this URL wherever your assistant lets you add a connector, custom tool, or MCP server:

https://kudo.kunalbagaria.com/mcp

Claude: Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste the URL. Also works in Claude Code with claude mcp add --transport http kudo https://kudo.kunalbagaria.com/mcp.
ChatGPT: Settings, Connectors (developer mode), Create, paste the URL with no authentication.
Cursor, Windsurf, and others: add a server of type streamable-http with that URL.

Tools available: list_feelings, list_papers, create_kudo, get_kudo, get_kudo_status, add_line, react_to_kudo, create_wall, get_wall.

Or use the plain API

One POST makes a kudo. The response has the link for the recipient and a private status link for the sender.

curl -X POST https://kudo.kunalbagaria.com/api/kudos \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"to":"Priya","from":"Kunal","feelings":["grateful","calm"],"paper":"sage",
"message":"Thank you for the way you listen. It changes the room."}'

The API is forgiving on purpose. recipient works for to, feelings can be a comma separated string, common synonyms are understood, and colour words pick a paper. Full description: openapi.json, llms.txt, /api.

No tools at all? Use a link

An assistant that can only show you text can still help. It writes the note and gives you a prefilled link. You open it, check the words, and press Seal yourself.

https://kudo.kunalbagaria.com/?to=Priya&from=Kunal&feelings=grateful,calm&paper=sage&message=Thank%20you%20for%20the%20way%20you%20listen.

What a good kudo looks like

First person, in the sender's own voice. Specific about a moment or a habit. One to four sentences. No em dashes. The assistant should confirm the wording before sealing, because a kudo cannot be edited afterwards.
