Padlet MCP server

Padlet MCP Server

Work with your Padlet boards from GitHub Copilot and any other AI agent that speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Padlet is a visual board for collecting and sharing ideas, used by teachers, students and teams. A board (a "padlet") holds posts with text, links, images, video and files, grouped into sections. This server lets an agent find, read, create and edit your padlets for you, in plain language.

(streamable HTTP).

• Hosted by Padlet. Nothing to install or run. The server is at https://mcp.padlet.com/

client connects (OAuth).

• No API key. You sign in with your own Padlet account in the browser the first time your

• Acts as you. The agent can see and change only what you can see and change in Padlet.

This repository holds documentation only. The server itself is run by Padlet; its source code is not published here.

Set up in VS Code with GitHub Copilot

One click:

By hand: run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette (or create .vscode/mcp.json to share the setup with everyone working in a repository) and add:

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

Or from a terminal:

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

Then open Copilot Chat in Agent mode. When the server starts, VS Code asks you to sign in to Padlet; see Signing in.

Copilot cloud agent (coding agent)

Not supported at the moment. GitHub's documentation says the Copilot cloud agent and Copilot code review "do not currently support remote MCP servers that leverage OAuth for authentication and authorization". Padlet's server signs you in with OAuth only and has no API-key option, so it can't be added there. Use Copilot Chat in VS Code instead.

Any other MCP client

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP with OAuth can connect. Most clients take a config like this:

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

The field names vary a little between clients (servers or mcpServers, http or streamable-http), so check your client's documentation. The URL is always https://mcp.padlet.com/.

Signing in

sign-in page in your browser.

1. The first time your client connects, it registers itself with Padlet and opens a Padlet

1. Sign in with your Padlet account if you aren't already, and approve the request.
2. Go back to your client. You're connected.
