MCP Server

MCP Server

Padlet now has a MCP server! Our MCP server allows you to create padlets, post comments and reactions, retrieve contents of a padlet, and more.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect securely to outside apps and act on your behalf. Connecting Padlet's MCP server to an MCP-compatible assistant (such as Claude) lets you work with your padlets using plain language.

For example, you could do "create a board for our project kickoff and add five starter posts".

• The assistant can only do what your Padlet account already allows
• It respects your existing permissions
• You stay in control: You log in and authorize the connection, and you can disconnect at any time

Set-up Guide

• Make sure you're logged in to your Padlet account
• Open your MCP-compatible client (for example, Claude) and go to its connectors / integrations settings
• Add a new connector and enter the Padlet MCP server URL: https://mcp.padlet.com
• When prompted, click to authorize. You'll be redirected to Padlet to log in and approve access
• After approving, you'll be returned to your client and Padlet MCP is ready to be used! Ask your assistant to create a padlet, add a post, or search your boards
