Pally MCP ServerVerifiedFeatured

What is Pally MCP Server?

Pally MCP Server lets you talk to Pally, the AI personal assistant you text, from inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients. It is a hosted connector at https://agent.pally.com/mcp that relays your messages to your own Pally and returns its replies.

Pally is made by Pally Technologies, Inc., a Y Combinator-backed company. Normally you reach it by texting its number over iMessage or RCS, or by messaging @PallyAI_bot on Telegram. Pally connects to your email, calendars, WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Google Drive, Notion, Linear and other apps, and it handles errands such as triaging your inbox, booking tables, finding flights and calling businesses. The MCP server does not replace that chat. It brings the same Pally into the AI apps you already work in. Pally AI is not Pallyy, the social media scheduler.

How to use Pally MCP Server?

You need an existing Pally account before you connect. If you don't have one, text Pally or message @PallyAI_bot on Telegram first. There is no signup form.

Connection details from Pally's guide:

Server URL:      https://agent.pally.com/mcp
Transport:       Streamable HTTP
Authentication:  OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration + PKCE
OAuth discovery: https://agent.pally.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server

There is no API key. Sign-in happens in the browser. Linking is unusual: the authorize page shows a short single-use code (like PALLY-XXXXXX), and you send that code in your Pally chat within 10 minutes. Pally never messages you first, so the link always starts from you.

Claude Desktop / claude.ai

Open Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector and paste https://agent.pally.com/mcp. Follow the authorize page, then text the code it shows to Pally.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http pally https://agent.pally.com/mcp

Run /mcp inside Claude Code to start the browser sign-in, then send the code to Pally.

Cursor

Pally's MCP page has an "Add to Cursor" button. To add it by hand, put a url entry in ~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pally": {
      "url": "https://agent.pally.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json (the top-level key is servers):

{
  "servers": {
    "pally": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://agent.pally.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT

Open Settings → Apps & Connectors, enable Developer mode, add a connector with https://agent.pally.com/mcp and complete the same authorize-and-send-the-code flow.

Key features of Pally MCP Server

• One hosted endpoint for every user, with standard OAuth discovery and dynamic client registration, so no token to copy.
• User-initiated linking: the single-use code has to come from your own Pally chat, which ties the connector to your account.
• Two simple tools: send a message, and collect the reply for long jobs.
• The same approval rules as the text chat. Pally checks with you before it sends, books or buys anything you haven't already asked for or approved.
• Access to everything you have connected to Pally (email, calendars, WhatsApp, iMessage through the Pally Mac app, Slack, Drive, Notion, Linear, GitHub, Jira, Todoist and more). Pally only uses what you've connected.
• Disconnect at any time by removing the connector in your AI app.

Pally MCP Server tools

Pally documents two tools:

• message_pally sends your message to your Pally and returns its reply. Long-running jobs return a handle instead of a final answer.
• check_pally uses that handle to collect the reply once it is ready.

So the connector is a conversation channel, not a set of fine-grained API calls. Whatever Pally can do in your text thread, such as research, reminders or bookings, you ask for in plain language through message_pally.

Use cases of Pally MCP Server

• Inbox check while you work: "Ask Pally what in my inbox needs me today."
• Follow-ups: "Tell Pally to remind me to send the deck to Marc tomorrow morning."
• Errands from a coding session: "Have Pally find flights to New York for next Friday and send me the best options."
• Meeting prep: "Ask Pally for a brief on who I'm meeting at 3pm and what's still open with them."
• Catch-up: "Ask Pally to summarize what piled up in my WhatsApp groups since this morning."

Troubleshooting Pally MCP Server

• The code expired: the authorization page issues a fresh one in place. Send the new code to Pally within 10 minutes.
• Nothing happens after authorizing: Pally never messages first. You have to send the code in your Pally chat to finish linking.
• No Pally account yet: text Pally or message @PallyAI_bot on Telegram to start, then connect.
• A long request seems to hang: long jobs return a handle; the client should call check_pally to collect the reply.
• Disconnecting: remove the Pally connector in your AI app's connector settings.
