The app aims to help users curate quality content amid AI-generated slop by providing a clean reader view and summaries.", "body_md": "# Connect Readplace to your AI assistant\n\nReadplace runs an MCP server. Connect it once and your assistant can save pages to your reading queue and read your list back — right inside the conversation.\n\n`https://readplace.com/mcp`\n\nPaste that URL into your assistant’s connector settings. You sign in once with OAuth — your assistant never sees your password, and you can revoke access at any time from your account or the assistant’s settings.\n\n## Claude\n\nWorks on Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise. The Free plan allows a single custom connector.\n\n- Open Settings and go to Connectors.\n- Choose “Add custom connector”.\n- Paste the Readplace server URL and save.\n- Open the connector and complete the one-time OAuth sign-in to authorize Claude.\n\n## ChatGPT\n\nNeeds a paid plan (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu). Custom connectors live behind Developer Mode, which you turn on from ChatGPT on the web.\n\n- On ChatGPT for web, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced and turn on Developer Mode.\n- Add a custom connector and enter the Readplace server URL.\n- Choose OAuth as the authentication method.\n- Complete the OAuth sign-in to authorize ChatGPT.\n\n## Perplexity\n\nNeeds a Pro, Max, or Enterprise plan.\n\n- On Perplexity for web, open Settings → Connectors.\n- Choose “+ Custom connector”, then “Remote”.\n- Enter the Readplace server URL and select OAuth.\n- Authorize Readplace when you are redirected to the sign-in screen.\n\n## Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients\n\nNo paid plan required. Point the client at the URL over the HTTP (Streamable HTTP) transport — it discovers the OAuth login and registers itself automatically.\n\n- Claude Code: run “claude mcp add --transport http readplace https://readplace.com/mcp”, then “/mcp” to sign in.\n- Cursor or VS Code: add a server with the Readplace URL and transport type “http” to your MCP config; the editor runs the OAuth flow.\n- Any MCP client: add a remote HTTP server at the Readplace URL and authorize when prompted.\n\n## What your assistant can do\n\nOnce connected, your assistant gets two tools: **save_link** adds a page to your queue (the title, excerpt, and clean reader view fill in moments later), and **list_queue** reads back what you have saved, filtered to unread or already-read. Every page it saves gets the same reader view and summary as one you save yourself.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/readplace-a-reading-list-app-for-the-ai-age-read-the-web-not-the-slop", "canonical_source": "https://readplace.com/mcp", "published_at": "2026-06-21 11:29:08+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-21 11:37:37.944427+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-products", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Readplace", "Claude", "ChatGPT", "Perplexity", "Claude Code", "Cursor", "VS Code", "MCP"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/readplace-a-reading-list-app-for-the-ai-age-read-the-web-not-the-slop", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/readplace-a-reading-list-app-for-the-ai-age-read-the-web-not-the-slop.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/readplace-a-reading-list-app-for-the-ai-age-read-the-web-not-the-slop.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/readplace-a-reading-list-app-for-the-ai-age-read-the-web-not-the-slop.jsonld"}}
