Documentation
Server address
Recl runs a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). Add it to your assistant as a custom connector or MCP server with this URL:
https://app.recl.app/api/mcp
The first time, the assistant opens a Recl sign-in window: sign in with the Google or Apple account you use for Recl, check what the app is asking for, and press Allow. There are no API keys to copy.
Connecting an app
- ChatGPT: Settings → Apps & Connectors (or Connectors) → Add / Create, then paste the URL above.
- Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Recl and paste the URL above.
- Grok: open grok.com/connectors, add a custom connector and paste the URL above.
- Where custom connectors are available depends on the app and your plan with it.
- Cursor: Add Recl to Cursor (one click), or add it to
~/.cursor/mcp.json:{ "mcpServers": { "recl": { "url": "https://app.recl.app/api/mcp" } } } - VS Code: add it to
.vscode/mcp.json:{ "servers": { "recl": { "type": "http", "url": "https://app.recl.app/api/mcp" } } }

Permissions and limits
- Read: search and open your saves and see what's due. Add: save links, mark reviews done and ask questions.
- Saving and asking follow your plan exactly as the app does: free accounts get a few free saves and Ask answers, Recl Pro gets a monthly allowance. When a limit is reached the assistant is told so, with a link to upgrade.
- Very long videos (5 hours or more) are only saved after you confirm.
- There are rate limits per account and per app to keep things fast for everyone.
