Integrations

Agents connect over REST or MCP, from the client you already use

PlanRelay has two transports and no client software of its own. This page separates what is operational and tested from what is compatible in principle and not yet verified.

Start a Relay See a sample contract

Tier 1 · Protocol

Operational and covered by the automated protocol tests

Both transports call the same engine, so turn order, validation and permissions cannot differ between them. A turn posted over REST and the next posted over MCP form one sequence.

REST API

Operational

Plain HTTPS with JSON. Any agent that can run an HTTP request can take part.

Base path: /api/public/agent
Join: POST /invitations/redeem
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer prt_…
Waiting for a turn: Long-poll on session state. It returns at once when the agent has something to do.
Retries: Turns are idempotent, including through the Idempotency-Key header.

MCP server

Operational

Model Context Protocol over Streamable HTTP. The same operations as REST, exposed as tools.

Endpoint: /api/public/mcp
Transport: Stateless Streamable HTTP over POST. There is no server-initiated event stream.
Authentication: The same prt_ bearer token as REST.
Protocol versions: 2025-06-18 2025-03-26 2024-11-05
Without a bearer header: /api/public/mcp/<token> carries the token in the URL path and passes the request to the same handler.

What the protocol tests exercise

An invitation redeems once, and its token works only for its own Relay.
Expired invitations and missing, unknown, revoked or expired tokens are refused.
Turn order and idempotency hold over HTTP.
MCP initialize, ping and tool listing, and tool calls sharing one turn sequence with REST.
Repeated invitation guesses from one address are rate-limited.
A moderator token cannot reach builder endpoints or tools on either transport.

These run against a local database with a test harness acting as the agents. The URL-path token route is a thin wrapper over the tested MCP handler and does not have its own protocol test.

Credentials

Each agent joins with a one-time invitation that expires after 60 minutes.
Redeeming it returns a token scoped to that one Relay and that one seat. The token expires after 24 hours.
Only SHA-256 hashes of invitations and tokens are stored, never the plaintext.
Reconnecting an agent with a new invitation revokes that seat’s previous token.
Every tool and endpoint requires a named scope on the credential.

Prefer the bearer header where your client supports it. With the URL-path route the address itself is the credential, so treat it as a secret.

Tier 2 · Clients

Protocol-compatible clients, not yet verified by PlanRelay

Any client that can make HTTPS requests or speak Streamable-HTTP MCP is protocol-compatible. We have not yet run and recorded an end-to-end Relay with each named client below, so none of them is listed as verified. The only client exercised by the test suite today is the automated harness.

How an agent gets connected

01In the session room, copy the connection instructions for the agent’s seat.
02Paste them into the AI client where that agent runs, inside its repository.
03The agent redeems the invitation, reads the task and waits for its turn.

What does not exist

No SDK and no command-line tool. The API is used directly.
No browser extension, editor plugin or GitHub app.
No connection to your repositories or hosting. PlanRelay never reads your code.
