Connect Plate to Claude

Add Plate as a connector in Claude and manage your tasks through conversation.

Connect on claude.ai

5. Click Add. A browser window opens with the Plate authorization page. Sign in to your Plate account and choose a scope:

   • Read only — Claude can view your projects and tasks but not change anything.
   • Read & write — Claude can create, update, and complete tasks.

6. Click Authorize. Plate appears in your connectors list.

7. In any conversation, enable Plate via the connector icon in the message bar.

Claude Desktop uses the same connector UI as claude.ai.

1. Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings → Connectors.

2. Click Add custom connector.

3. Enter a name (e.g. Plate) and paste the MCP server URL:

   https://plate.to/mcp

4. Click Add. A browser window opens — sign in to Plate, choose a scope, and click Authorize.

5. Enable Plate via the connector icon in the message bar when starting a conversation.

Connect on Claude Code

Claude Code manages MCP servers via the CLI or a config file.

Using the CLI (recommended)

Add Plate for the current user (global scope):

claude mcp add --transport http plate https://plate.to/mcp

Or for the current project only:

claude mcp add --transport http -s project plate https://plate.to/mcp

Using the config file

Add this entry to your config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plate": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://plate.to/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Scope	Config file
Project	.mcp.json in the project root
User (global)	~/.claude.json

On first use, Claude Code will open a browser window to authorize. Sign in to Plate, choose a scope, and click Authorize. The token is saved automatically and refreshed in the background.

What you can do

Once connected, ask Claude in plain language:

• Show me open tasks in the Design project
• Create a task "Write release notes" in the current sprint
• Mark SCD-88 as complete
• What's assigned to me this week?
• Move SCD-42 to In Progress and add a comment: "Starting today"
• List all projects in my workspace

Claude uses the Plate MCP tools to list workspaces, projects, sections, and tasks; create and update tasks; complete tasks; and add or delete comments.

Revoke access

To disconnect Plate, go to Workspace Settings → Apps in Plate and revoke the token. You can also remove the connector from Settings → Connectors in Claude.
