# Connect Readplace to your AI assistant

Readplace 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.

`https://readplace.com/mcp`

Paste 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.

## Claude

Works on Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise. The Free plan allows a single custom connector.

- Open Settings and go to Connectors.
- Choose “Add custom connector”.
- Paste the Readplace server URL and save.
- Open the connector and complete the one-time OAuth sign-in to authorize Claude.

## ChatGPT

Needs a paid plan (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu). Custom connectors live behind Developer Mode, which you turn on from ChatGPT on the web.

- On ChatGPT for web, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced and turn on Developer Mode.
- Add a custom connector and enter the Readplace server URL.
- Choose OAuth as the authentication method.
- Complete the OAuth sign-in to authorize ChatGPT.

## Perplexity

Needs a Pro, Max, or Enterprise plan.

- On Perplexity for web, open Settings → Connectors.
- Choose “+ Custom connector”, then “Remote”.
- Enter the Readplace server URL and select OAuth.
- Authorize Readplace when you are redirected to the sign-in screen.

## Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients

No paid plan required. Point the client at the URL over the HTTP (Streamable HTTP) transport — it discovers the OAuth login and registers itself automatically.

- Claude Code: run “claude mcp add --transport http readplace https://readplace.com/mcp”, then “/mcp” to sign in.
- 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.
- Any MCP client: add a remote HTTP server at the Readplace URL and authorize when prompted.

## What your assistant can do

Once 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.
