Turn ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini into your productivity coach. Tell your agent to block distractions and it enforces focus at the system level.

The verdict.
LockIn MCP is a clever fit for anyone who already lives inside an AI agent and wants distraction blocking without the security baggage of a browser extension. At $2.99 a month or $59.99 for life, it is cheap enough to justify if you actually use MCP tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or Poke daily. If you do not already use an agent workflow, the setup overhead makes a simpler standalone blocker the better call.
Pricing, straight.

The math is simple: the lifetime license pays for itself after about 20 months. If you expect to stick with this workflow, buy once and skip the recurring charge.
What it actually does.
System-level blocking
Distractions get blocked at the OS level, not inside a single browser tab. That means it holds even when you open a different browser.
AI enforces focus
Tell your agent what to block and it builds the task list and applies the rules. No manual list management every session.
Broad MCP support
Works with Poke, Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini through the Model Context Protocol.
One-line install
A single installer command sets up the MCP server. No fiddling with extension permissions or store approvals.
No extension risk
Running natively avoids the common security holes browser plugins introduce, from over-broad permissions to injected scripts.
Stable relay URL
A fixed relay endpoint supports remote MCP, so your agent can trigger focus sessions from anywhere.
Who it is for.
Agent-first professionals. If you already run Claude, ChatGPT, or Poke as a daily driver, adding focus enforcement is a natural extension of a workflow you trust.
People who want accountable focus sessions. Instead of manually toggling a blocker, you describe your goal and the agent holds you to it.
Security-conscious users. Anyone who has avoided extension-based blockers due to permission concerns gets a native alternative here.
The honest part.
- Requires setup. The one-line installer is easy, but you still need a working MCP client. This is not a click-and-go app for non-technical users.
- Locked to supported agents. If your tool of choice does not speak MCP, LockIn is not for you.
- Configuration-dependent enforcement. Poorly defined block lists leave gaps, so the tool is only as effective as the rules you give it.
- Pricing shifted. Our digest listed it as free; the live site now shows paid plans with a short trial. Confirm current terms before you commit.
