Use Shuffleroo with ChatGPT or Claude
Connect Shuffleroo to ChatGPT, Claude, or another AI assistant, then ask it to set up your gift exchange. It prepares a draft with the names, gift limit, and gift day. You open one link, check the details, and tap Start.
How it works
Ask your assistant. Tell it who is in, the gift limit, and the gift day.
Open the link it gives you. Check the details and add your email.
Tap Start. Share the group link in the group chat. Everyone pulls a name.
The Shuffleroo address
https://shuffleroo.com/mcpConnect it to Claude
- Open Claude. Go to Customize, then Connectors.

- In a chat, tap +, then Connectors. Turn on Shuffleroo.
The Free plan allows one custom connector.
Connect it to ChatGPT
- Open Settings, then Security and login. Turn on Developer mode.
- Go to Plugins and tap +.
- Name it Shuffleroo. Paste the Shuffleroo address above as the URL.
- In a new chat, add Shuffleroo from the tools menu.
Developer mode may not be on every plan.
Other assistants that support MCP connectors can use the same address. No sign-in is needed.
Things to ask
- “Set up a Secret Santa for Mom, Dad, Jess, and Sam. $50 limit, gift day December 24. Mom and Dad shouldn’t get each other.”
- “Start an office gift exchange for my team of 12. $25 limit, on December 18.”
- “How do I keep couples from getting each other?”
- “What happens if my cousin joins after everyone pulled?”
What your assistant can and can’t see
- Your assistant sees only what you tell it, like names, the gift limit, and the gift day.
- It never sees who got whom. Nobody does, not even the host.
- It can’t start the group, send emails, or invite anyone. It only prepares a draft.
- It never sees your email. You add it yourself when you tap Start.
- The draft link works once. We delete the draft when you tap Start, or after 24 hours.
