Use with AI assistants

Let your AI assistant look things up in Plain-AyI for you. Ask in plain words, for example:

• "Find me a free tool that transcribes meetings and doesn't need coding."
• "Which open-source tools let me chat with AI offline on a Mac?"
• "Compare the top three image generators on Plain-AyI."

It's a free, read-only connection: your assistant can look things up but can't change anything, and you don't need an account. (Technically it's an MCP connector.)

Claude app (desktop or web): no coding

1. Open Settings, then Connectors.
2. Choose Add custom connector and name it Plain-AyI.
3. Paste this address and save:

Claude Code

Run this once in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http plain-ayi https://plain-ayi.com/mcp

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json inside a project), then restart Cursor:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plain-ayi": {
      "url": "https://plain-ayi.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Other tools and developers

Any assistant that supports MCP over HTTP can use https://plain-ayi.com/mcp. There's also a plain-text summary for AI tools at /llms.txt, and every project's data at /api/projects.json.

Summaries are drafted with AI from each project's own documentation, and each says whether a person has checked it. Always confirm important details on the project's official page.
