Let Claude build widgets on your iPhone Home Screen

Goal: Get live, personal widgets on my phone without building them myself.
Setup: agents used in source: Claude; tools/MCPs stated: Glance, MCP, WidgetKit.
Steps:
1. Connect Claude to the Glance app through its MCP.
2. Ask for a widget in plain language, e.g. “a Home Screen widget that shows me the two latest Claude/Anthropic stories”.
3. Let Claude choose the layout and populate it, then update the content later through the MCP.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
