MCP

The Pliant Pro API (Customer) Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your Pliant Pro API (Customer) API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The Pliant Pro API (Customer) MCP server provides AI agents with:

  • Direct API access to Pliant Pro API (Customer) functionality
  • Documentation search capabilities
  • Real-time data from your Pliant Pro API (Customer) account
  • Code generation assistance for Pliant Pro API (Customer) integrations

Pliant Pro API (Customer) MCP Server Setup

Pliant Pro API (Customer) hosts a remote MCP server at https://customer-api.getpliant.com/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client.

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pliant-customer-api": {
      "url": "https://customer-api.getpliant.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

  1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
  2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
  3. Ask about Pliant Pro API (Customer) - try questions like:
    • "How do I [common use case]?"
    • "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
    • "Create a [integration type] using Pliant Pro API (Customer)"

The AI should now have access to your Pliant Pro API (Customer) account data and documentation through the MCP server.
