About LockIn MCP

What is LockIn MCP?

LockIn MCP is a system-level website and distraction blocker that allows users to start and manage focus sessions through AI assistants via MCP.

What LockIn MCP does

The software blocks distracting websites across browsers, private windows, and system restarts using the hosts file. AI assistants can block sites, start focus sessions, and manage timed unblocks via MCP.

Who LockIn MCP is for
