Readplace

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. From then on, “Save this research to my readplace” is all it takes.

Server URL 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.

Getting started

If your assistant supports MCP, just ask it to connect — it walks you through the rest. After that, saving is one sentence.

  • Ask your assistant once Connect my reading list to readplace.com/mcp.
  • Then, in any conversation Save this research to my readplace.

Once connected, ask away

Talk to your assistant in plain language — it maps your request onto the tools for you.

  • Save the top sources from your research to my readplace.
  • What's the most relevant unread link in my readplace about the war in Iran?
  • Save this page to my reading queue.
  • List everything I've saved but haven't read yet.

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.

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

Gemini

No paid plan required — the Gemini CLI connects for free. The Gemini app only takes custom connectors inside Gemini Spark, which needs a Google AI Ultra subscription.

  1. Install the Gemini CLI and sign in with your Google account.
  2. Run “gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user readplace https://readplace.com/mcp”.
  3. Start Gemini and run “/mcp auth readplace”. The CLI discovers the OAuth login and registers itself, so there is no client ID or secret to configure.
  4. Complete the browser sign-in to authorize Gemini, then run “/mcp list” to confirm Readplace is connected.

Claude

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

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

Perplexity

Needs a Pro, Max, or Enterprise plan.

  1. On Perplexity for web, open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Choose “+ Custom connector”, then “Remote”.
  3. Enter the Readplace server URL and select OAuth.
  4. 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. The same recipe covers any assistant that takes custom MCP connectors, even one not listed on this page.

  1. Claude Code: run “claude mcp add --transport http readplace https://readplace.com/mcp”, then “/mcp” to sign in.
  2. 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.
  3. Any other assistant: open its connector or MCP settings, add the Readplace server URL as a custom connector, and complete the OAuth sign-in in your browser.
  4. Then say “Save this research to my readplace.” — the assistant maps it onto the tools for you.

What your assistant can do

Every page it saves gets the same reader view and summary as one you save yourself.

  • save_link saves a URL to the user's queue; the title, excerpt, and clean reader view fill in moments later.
  • list_queue lists what the user has saved, filtered to unread or already-read.
  • get_article returns one saved article's details.
  • get_article_content returns one saved article's clean reader text.
  • get_article_summary returns one saved article's AI TL;DR.
  • get_related_articles returns other saves in the same queue that relate to one article.

For your safety, marking articles read and deleting them stay in the Readplace app — your assistant can’t change or remove items in your queue, only point you to the app to do it yourself.

  • mark_as_read answers with a note pointing the user to the app; marking read stays in Readplace.
  • mark_as_unread answers with a note pointing the user to the app; marking unread stays in Readplace.
  • delete_article answers with a note pointing the user to the app; deleting stays in Readplace.
