How to get your Reply MCP URL

Before connecting your AI agent to Reply, you'll need the MCP endpoint URL from your Reply account.

  1. Go to Execution in the Reply dashboard.

  2. Open the Integrations tab.

  3. Find Reply MCP Server and click Configure.

  4. Copy the MCP Connection URL.

You'll use this URL in any AI platform to connect your MCP server.

Reply MCP supports two authentication methods: Personal API key (recommended) and OAuth. We recommend using a Personal API key because you can grant only the permissions your AI model needs, whereas OAuth provides access to all available tools.

Below, we'll show you a few examples of how to connect your Reply MCP to an AI model using n8n, Make.com, and Claude.


Connecting MCP to n8n

  1. In n8n, click Create Workflow.

  2. Select Add first step.

  3. Choose AI Agent.

  4. Leave the predefined fields as they are, but make sure Source for Prompt is set to Connected Chat Trigger Node.

  5. Click Add chat model.

  6. Select your AI model, for example, OpenAI.

  7. When prompted to connect credentials, click Create new credentials.

  8. Enter your OpenAI Secret Key and save the changes.

  9. Under Tool, click the + icon and select MCP.

  10. In Reply, copy the MCP connection URL.

  11. Go back to n8n and paste the link into the Endpoint field. Set Authentication to Bearer Auth, then enter your Reply API key in Credential for Bearer Auth → Bearer Token.

That's it – your MCP is connected! You can now automate actions by sending messages to the chat.


Connecting MCP to Make.com

  1. Open Scenarios in Make.com and click Create new scenario.

  2. Search for MCP. You can choose to either Call a Tool or Execute an Action with AI.

  3. Click Create connection.

  4. Name your connection and select New MCP Server in the MCP Server field.

  5. Paste the MCP Connection URL from Reply, enter your Reply API key, and click Save.

  6. In Tool Name, select the action you want your MCP to perform, e.g., Reply start Sequence, and enter the sequence ID.

  7. Click Run Once to test your setup.


Connecting MCP to Claude

Claude currently supports OAuth authentication only. To connect Reply MCP to Claude:

  1. In Claude, go to Settings.

  2. Open Connectors and click Add custom connector.

  3. Enter a name for your connector.

  4. Paste your MCP Connection URL from Reply into the Remote Server MCP URL field → Add.

  5. Click Connect.

  6. Log in to your Reply account.

  7. Review the requested permissions and allow Claude to access your Reply account.

After the connection is complete, you can manage the connector's permissions at any time. Choose Always Allow, Needs Approval, or Blocked for individual actions.

Once set up, go to the Claude chat and type your requests to perform actions in Reply.
