MCP · MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL
Let your AI use Plain.
Plain ships a standard MCP server. Add it in Claude Code / Cursor / Codex and your AI can directly call Plain to generate / edit / export the trio. Plug document generation into your agentic workflow.

TYPICAL PROMPT
「@plain take these user interviews, generate a deck for the CEO, and build a dashboard tracking our key metrics this quarter.」
Plain agent picks up the prompt · calls generate_deck + generate_sheet · returns two share links. The whole loop runs inside Claude Code.
