Everyone is about to have a tireless genealogist in their pocket. The hard part won't be finding ancestors — it will be having somewhere worthy to keep them: a single, canonical family record that's permanent, private by default, and beautiful enough to pass down. That's us. You bring the research; we are the home and the gallery.
How it works
- Mint a key. In Settings → Developer API, generate a personal API key (paid plans). We store only a hash of it.
- Point your agent at us. Give Claude, a script, or your own app the key and the base URL. It can read your whole tree in one call and write people and relationships back.
- Watch it appear. Everything an agent adds shows up instantly in your tree — pan-and-zoom views, fan charts, life stories, a published family page. Living relatives stay hidden automatically.
One call to read the whole family
# An agent finds a great-grandfather in a 1910 census
# and writes him straight into your tree:
curl -X POST https://dynasty.house/api/v1/trees/$TREE/people \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $DYNASTY_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"given": "Wilhelm", "surname": "Lopin", "sex": "M",
"birth_date": "1888", "birth_place": "Vienna, Austria",
"notes": "Source: 1910 parish register, p.42.",
"link": { "type": "parent", "personId": "YOU" }
}' Relationships are first-class: link a new person as a parent, child or spouse and we handle the union plumbing. Read the entire graph — people, partnerships and child links — with a single GET /trees/:id.
Built for the agentic era
- Your data, your agents. No lock-in, ever. One-click GEDCOM export means the tree an agent builds is yours to take anywhere.
- Safe by construction. Agent writes pass through the exact same integrity rules as the app, so they can't corrupt your tree.
- Private by default. Living people are auto-hidden on every public surface. You decide what becomes a beautiful, shareable House.
- MCP coming. A hosted Model Context Protocol server is on the way, so Claude and other agents connect with zero glue code.
Who it's for
Tinkerers automating their own research. Developers building genealogy tools who'd rather not reinvent a presentation layer. And anyone who wants their AI assistant to do the digging and hand the results to a home that will outlast any single app — or company, including ours.
Give your research a home worth keeping.
Free to start. The API unlocks on any paid plan, a flat $4/month.
