- Category: [Productivity & Projects](https://mcp.tc/c/productivity)
- Vendor: Padlet
- Homepage: <https://padlet.com>

## About

Connects an assistant to Padlet, the visual collaboration tool used for creative work and education. It can create and manage boards, add and edit posts, handle comments and reactions, organize content into sections and change sharing settings.

The server is hosted by Padlet at mcp.padlet.com and uses streamable HTTP. Users sign in to their Padlet account through OAuth, so no API key is needed. A tool list is not published, so the exact operations depend on the server.

## What it can do

- Create and manage Padlet boards
- Add and manage posts on a board
- Read and write comments and reactions
- Organize board content into sections
- Adjust board sharing settings

## Example prompts

- "Create a new Padlet board for our project brainstorm."
- "Add a post to my class board with today's reading list."
- "Create a section called Homework on my Padlet board."
- "Change the sharing settings on my team board to view only."

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http padlet https://mcp.padlet.com/
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **padlet** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Padlet sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Padlet** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.padlet.com/
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Padlet asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Padlet&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.padlet.com%2F>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.padlet.com/` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Padlet asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://mcp.padlet.com/` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Padlet to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=padlet&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5wYWRsZXQuY29tLyJ9>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "padlet": {
      "url": "https://mcp.padlet.com/"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=padlet&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.padlet.com%2F%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"padlet","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.padlet.com/"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "padlet": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.padlet.com/"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "padlet": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.padlet.com/"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add padlet --url https://mcp.padlet.com/
codex mcp login padlet
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.padlet]
url = "https://mcp.padlet.com/"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http padlet https://mcp.padlet.com/
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth padlet` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "padlet": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.padlet.com/"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.padlet.com/`.
