## What it does

This tool connects over Streamable HTTP without sessions via `https://api.routinerun.com/mcp/public`. It requires no login or authorization codes. In the MCP registry, it appears under the identifier `com.routinerun/routine-writer`.

An assistant structures your instructions into ordered checklist steps and returns a shareable link. The generated plan acts as a suggestion: it stays pending on the mobile device until the recipient reviews and saves it.

Opening and running these generated routines requires an iPhone with the Routine Run app installed.
