MCP support
Atly's remote MCP server provides place-search and feedback tools to clients, returning intent scores, review excerpts, and place links. It can be used without signing in initially; email sign-in is available when the anonymous allowance runs out.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEAtly Places — plugin and extension
Find places by what you actually want. Atly scores close to 2 million places against more than 1,400 specific intents — work friendly, gluten free, great cappuccino, dog friendly, good for a first date — from what real reviewers say, and keeps the statements behind every score. Coverage is densest in the United States, with pockets in Mexico, Israel and Thailand.
This repo packages Atly's public MCP server for the tools that can install it. The server itself is
at https://agentic-api.atly.com/mcp; the plugin asks it for API v2 with the header Atly-Version: 2.
Install
Listed in Anthropic's Claude plugin directory (Claude Code, Cowork and the Claude apps) at claude.ai/directory/atly; or install from this repository as below.
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add atlyai/atly-plugin
/plugin install atly-places@atly
Then /atly-places:atly in any session brings the skill in; the tools are there either way.
Gemini CLI
gemini extensions install https://github.com/atlyai/atly-plugin
ChatGPT, Claude (chat), or anything else that speaks MCP — add the server by URL:
https://agentic-api.atly.com/v2/mcp
(Or https://agentic-api.atly.com/mcp with the header Atly-Version: 2, where your client lets you set headers.)
It works without signing in; when the free allowance runs out, sign in with your email when prompted and the connector then runs under your own account.
What you can ask
- Find a work-friendly cafe with great cappuccino in New York.

What this plugin runs and sends
Nothing runs locally: the plugin is a skill (text) and the address of a remote MCP server. When the tools
are used, the agent sends agentic-api.atly.com what it needs to search: short search words taken from the
user's request (such as "gluten free" or "midtown"), an area name or the user's coordinates and a radius,
place ids, and, if it calls submit_feedback, one sentence about how a result went (the tool's description
asks for no user words or personal details there). The plugin adds nothing else and contacts no other
destination; the MCP client itself sends its usual connection details (client name, user-agent, and an
OAuth token if signed in). Atly logs each request's parameters, user-agent and IP address for quotas, abuse
prevention and product statistics; see the privacy policy below.
Access and limits
No key or sign-in is needed to start; anonymous callers get a small quota. Over MCP (this plugin,
chat connectors) the way up is signing in with your email, which the client asks for when the
anonymous quota runs out (in Claude Code: /mcp, then Authenticate). For direct REST calls, POST https://agentic-api.atly.com/v2/keys with an email returns a key with a daily quota of its own,
5,000 a day once the email is verified.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
