# Run a book club

Suggestions, votes, who hosts next and what everyone thought of the last book. Members add from their own assistant, and the organizer asks what’s winning.

## An example

**You:** I suggest The Covenant of Water for December. Also I can host on Nov 18.

**ADoor:** Added 1 entry to Suggestions and 1 to Meetings

**Suggestions**

| Book | Suggested by | Votes | Status |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| The Covenant of Water | Maria | 1 | Open |
| James (Percival Everett) | Karl | 4 | Open |

## What you can ask later

- “What’s winning the vote for December?”
- “Who hosts next, and where?”
- “What have we read in the last two years?”
- “What did people think of Demon Copperhead?”

## Who can see what

- **Every member** suggests, votes and adds notes from their own assistant.
- **The organizer** can close votes and edit meetings.
- **A new member** can read every past pick and the notes from day one.

## How it compares with a group chat or Goodreads groups

Goodreads groups are better for discussion threads and book details, and a group chat is better for quick chatter.

ADoor keeps the logistics and the record: votes that count themselves, a clear next host, and every past pick with notes.

## How to start

1. Connect ADoor to your assistant. ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor all connect through MCP.
2. Tell it: “Set up our book club: Suggestions (book, suggested by, votes, status), Meetings (date, host, place, book) and Notes. Invite the members.”
3. Let only the organizer close votes and edit meetings.

Yes. ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor all connect through MCP with a sign-in, and each gets its own access that you can narrow or remove later.
