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

The digest listed it as free, but the site now shows two paid tiers with a 3-day trial. Here is the current breakdown.

Monthly

$2.99/month

  • 3-day free trial
  • System-level domain blocking
  • One-line installer + MCP server
  • Works with Poke, Claude, ChatGPT & more
  • Stable relay URL for remote MCP
  • Recommended Poke focus recipe
  • Cancel anytime

Lifetime

$59.99 once

  • System-level domain blocking
  • One-line installer + MCP server
  • Works with Poke, Claude, ChatGPT & more
  • Stable relay URL for remote MCP
  • Recommended Poke focus recipe
  • Lifetime license, pay once

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.

Key Features

block

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.

smart_toy

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.

hub

Broad MCP support

Works with Poke, Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini through the Model Context Protocol.

terminal

One-line install

A single installer command sets up the MCP server. No fiddling with extension permissions or store approvals.

shield

No extension risk

Running natively avoids the common security holes browser plugins introduce, from over-broad permissions to injected scripts.

link

Stable relay URL

A fixed relay endpoint supports remote MCP, so your agent can trigger focus sessions from anywhere.

Who Should Use It

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.
