AI protocols
Use MCP, WebMCP or Poppy to connect another AI or device to PlanMyVisit
MCP
We provide 34 tools through MCP for compatible AI products, custom agents and new device experiences. They support planning before a visit and assistance while someone is there.
- MCP endpoint
https://api.autoura.com/api/mcp
Sign in to give your personal AI agent access to the full set of 34 MCP tools, including visit knowledge, visit plans and preferences, subject to your account permissions. The same flow creates an account if you are new: you only need an email address and access to that inbox
Advanced settings
Normally, you only need the MCP endpoint. If your AI app asks for additional OAuth settings, use the details below:
- Client ID
autoura-client- Authorization Endpoint
https://api.autoura.com/api/auth/oauth2/authorize- Token Endpoint
https://api.autoura.com/api/auth/oauth2/token- Scopes
files:read- Client Secret
- Leave blank
- Token Auth Method
- Select none (PKCE only, recommended).
Profiles and registration
- People can register an individual profile using an email address and connect their own AI agents.
- AI agents can self-register or create and connect a profile on behalf of a person.
- An agent registering for a person needs access to an email address for verification. This can be the person’s email address when authorised, or the agent’s own email address.
- Register when the profile is new, or sign in when it already exists, then complete email verification before using protected tools.
WebMCP
AvailableWebMCP is a simple way to connect PlanMyVisit to an AI, but browser adoption is still at an early stage.
- All tools available through MCP are also available through WebMCP.
- WebMCP does not support AI-agent self-registration. A person must sign in or sign up on this PlanMyVisit website.
OpenAI Codex
Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app is supported and tested with PlanMyVisit.

For developers only: Chrome and Microsoft Edge can expose and test WebMCP tools, but their standard AI assistants do not currently use them. This is not yet useful to consumers on its own, but it shows the direction browser support is taking.
- Google Chrome 149 or later: WebMCP is in early preview. For testing, enable

Poppy — Personal Agent Protocol
Poppy lets a compatible personal agent connect to PlanMyVisit to help you plan and enjoy your visit
Before you sign in
Your personal AI agent can talk with our PlanMyVisit AI to discover supported places to visit and find out how PlanMyVisit can help. No account is needed for public venue search or general questions
- “What can I visit in London?”
- “Find supported places to visit near York”
- “How can PlanMyVisit help me plan a day out?”
Public search provides venue summaries. Detailed visit knowledge, your saved visit plans and personal account information require sign-in
Once you sign in
Your personal AI agent can access detailed visit knowledge and your saved visit plans, and use our MCP tools to create and update visit plans, remember preferences and work with your current location. The tools available through Poppy depend on the permissions you grant during sign-in
- “Show me my saved visit plans”
- “Plan my visit to Buckingham Palace on [date] with [people’s names]”
- “Add a note to my visit plan that we want a lunch break at noon”
- “Remember I don’t like tomatoes”
Sign in when account access is needed. The same email-code flow signs you in or creates an account if you are new. You only need an email address and access to that inbox, then choose the permissions for your personal AI agent
Our PlanMyVisit AI answers questions; your personal AI agent uses MCP tools to make changes. Live human chat is not available
Poppy permissions and tools
Basic access is always included after sign-in. The six optional permissions start on and can each be turned off. These permissions apply to your personal AI agent’s MCP access through Poppy

Poppy provides access to the full MCP tool set, subject to your account permissions and the switches above. Basic access includes companion management, data export requests and reports, as well as visit knowledge and viewing information
Nearest-companion search requires both location-viewing permissions. Travel companions must have enabled location sharing with you. Updating your location does not grant permission to read it back
