Open Plali app
PLALI AI

Collect restaurants you find with AI.

Places recorded as saved through an AI connection (MCP) go straight to your private My Places. They show an AI saved badge, and you can filter to places that need review.

Open My PlacesHow to connect
01. Connect

Add the MCP server to your AI app

MCP connects an AI app to Plali’s saving and search features. Choose your AI app below, add the server, and sign in.

02. Save

Save a place from a conversation

Ask “Save this restaurant to Plali” to save it to your private My Places.

03. Review

Complete records for places to organize

Use the Places to organize filter in My Places to check an address or location, then choose Complete place record. Choosing a candidate alone does not complete the record; the selected location, title, tags, and ratings save privately. This does not publish or share the place.

MCP server URL

https://api.plali.app/mcp

After adding the server, sign in to Plali and approve the permissions you want to grant to complete the connection.

Codex CLI

Adding the server may start authentication immediately. If it does not finish or you need to sign in again, run the login command.

codex mcp add plali --url https://api.plali.app/mcp

codex mcp login plali

If the remote host has no browser, first open this SSH port forward on your local computer. When adding a new server, set the fixed callback port on the remote add command too. If the server already exists or you need to sign in again, run login with the same option and open the first authorization URL it prints in your local browser.

ssh -L 43123:127.0.0.1:43123 user@remote-host

codex mcp add plali --url https://api.plali.app/mcp -c mcp_oauth_callback_port=43123

codex mcp login plali -c mcp_oauth_callback_port=43123

Keep the SSH connection open until login finishes. You can choose another free port, but use the same number in both commands.

Claude Code

Add the server at user scope, then sign in.

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user plali https://api.plali.app/mcp

claude mcp login plali

On a remote host without a browser, log in with --no-browser. Open the first authorization URL it prints in another device’s browser, then paste the browser’s full redirect URL into the remote terminal. With SSH, use ssh -t for interactive input.

claude mcp login plali --no-browser

If the same connector is already linked to your claude.ai account, check /mcp first. An explicit CLI server with the same URL takes precedence. Older Claude Code releases may require authentication through /mcp or an update.

Claude web and Desktop

Go to Customize > Connectors > + > Add custom connector, enter the server URL below, then connect and authenticate. In an organization, an owner may need to enable connectors first.

https://api.plali.app/mcp

For browserless login

Open the first authorization URL printed by the AI tool in the other browser. Do not move only the /ai/connect?requestId URL to another browser: it will not have the request verification cookie.

Saving and search scope

AI-saved places are private in My Places by default. To publish one, change its visibility separately in the Plali app.

The Places to organize filter shows only places whose records are unfinished. An external map search runs only when you explicitly request it.

Optional: Plali Skills

Skill files give the AI behavioral instructions for saving and searching in Plali. They do not replace the MCP connection or permission approval. Download Skills
