Work with your Padlet boards from inside your agent. This plugin connects the agent to Padlet's hosted MCP server, so you can read, search, create, and edit padlets by asking for it in plain language.
No API keys and nothing to run locally — you sign in with your own Padlet account through your browser the first time the agent connects.
The plugin supports Cursor and Grok Build, both of which install plugins from a source repository — point your host at this repository:
https://github.com/padlet/agent-plugins
You can also skip the plugin and register the MCP server directly with any client that speaks MCP over streamable HTTP:
{
"mcpServers": {
"padlet": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.padlet.com/?toolsets=core" }
}
}The first time the agent uses a Padlet tool it will prompt you to sign in. Approve the request in the browser tab that opens and you're connected.
Every action runs as you. The plugin can only see and change what you could see and change in Padlet itself.
- "Find my board about the Q3 retro and summarise what people posted."
- "Create a padlet called Release Checklist with a section per service."
- "Add each item in TODO.md as a post on my Sprint Planning board."
- "What's on the Design Feedback board? Group the posts by theme."
- "Comment on the top post asking for a repro case."
Out of the box the plugin exposes Padlet's core toolset — listing and searching your padlets, reading board content, creating padlets, and creating, editing, connecting, and commenting on posts. Attachments (images, video, audio, documents) can be analysed too.
The core set is intentionally small. Agent clients limit how many tools a model can see across all of your connected MCP servers, so this plugin stays out of the way of the rest of your setup.
Padlet's MCP server also offers per-board administration (appearance, access, automations, grading) and school/team library administration (members, SSO, approved domains, content safety). Those aren't in the default set.
Run /padlet-toolsets to see what's available and turn groups on or off. It shows you the
current state, applies your change, and tells you how to reload.
| Toolset | Tools | Contents |
|---|---|---|
core |
16 | Board and post reading, authoring, and commenting (enabled by default) |
utility |
2 | Current time and web search |
board_admin |
28 | Per-board appearance, access, collaborators, automations, grading |
library |
23 | School and team library membership, SSO, permissions, content safety |
Enabling everything means 69 tools from Padlet alone, which will crowd out your other MCP
servers — /padlet-toolsets warns you before doing that.
The setting lives inside the installed plugin, so updating or reinstalling the plugin resets it
to core. Re-run /padlet-toolsets to restore your selection.
- Padlet's Sandbox (whiteboard) format is only partially supported; other board formats are fully supported.
- Deleting posts and sections is a soft delete and can be undone. A few operations — deleting comments, automations, or custom fields, and removing collaborators or invitations — are permanent, and are marked so that the agent asks you to confirm first.
Declared for review and for anyone auditing the plugin before installing it:
- Network endpoint:
https://mcp.padlet.com— Padlet's hosted MCP server, and the only host this plugin contacts. - Credentials: none stored in this repo. Authentication is OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, performed by your agent client in the browser; tokens are held by the client, never by these files.
- Code execution: none. This repository contains configuration and a skill document only — no scripts, binaries, install hooks, or lifecycle hooks.
- Scope: every action runs as the signed-in user and is bounded by Padlet's own permission
model. The plugin ships the
coretoolset; nothing is enabled without the user asking.
