About Plures
Plures is an MCP server that lets AI agents ask ID-verified people for a consensus before acting on a judgment call. It supports routing to verified respondents or configured teams, with tools to check or cancel pending tasks.

MCP support
Exposes tools to ask people for a decision, retrieve a task's answer, and cancel a task. Agents can route requests to verified respondents or their configured teams.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y plures-mcpPLURES_API_KEYSecretYour Plures API key. A free pk_test_ key works for trying it.PLURES_BASE_URLAPI base URL, defaults to https://plures.siLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEplures-mcp
An MCP server that gives any AI agent a human in the loop: an ask_humans tool that sends a decision to ID verified people and returns their consensus before the agent acts. Built on Plures.
Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and agent frameworks that support MCP (OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK and more).
Set up
Get a free test key at plures.si, then add the server to your client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"plures": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "plures-mcp"],
"env": { "PLURES_API_KEY": "pk_test_..." }
}
}
}
Claude Code: claude mcp add plures --env PLURES_API_KEY=pk_test_... -- npx -y plures-mcp
A pk_test_ key answers instantly with a simulated result (always the first option, clearly marked as a test), so you can try the flow for free. A pk_live_ key sends tasks to real verified people and is paid from prepaid credit at $0.20 per answer, more for recordings and videos by length. If credit runs out, the tool says so; add credit or turn on auto top up at plures.si/dashboard/billing.
Tools
ask_humans: send a judgment call to verified people.
Set route: "team" to send a decision straight to your own team instead of verified people (for confidential or policy calls), team to pick one of your named teams, team_votes to have several of them vote, and category to let your routing rules decide. Live, each internal vote is $0.05.
question(required): what people should decide, answerable from the context aloneoptions(required): 2 to 8 possible answerscontext: the material to judge, as plain textimage_url,instructionsaudio_urlorvideo_urlwithmedia_seconds: a clip up to 3 minutes that people play through before answeringsensitive: disturbing content, shown only to people who opted inverifiers: 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 (default 3)wait_seconds: how long to wait for the answer, 0 to 240 (default 45). If people haven't answered by then, the tool returns atask_idto check later.
get_human_answer: check a task by task_id, optionally waiting.
cancel_human_task: cancel a task that no longer matters.
Each result tells the agent the answer, how many people agreed and whether it is safe to act on. If you've added your team at plures.si/dashboard/team, decisions verified people don't all agree on go to your team, and the agent gets their decision as the final answer.
When agents should use it
The server tells the agent to ask people before acting on judgment calls where a mistake is costly: a customer's tone or intent, a refund or payment, whether an invoice, listing or document matches, a moderation edge case. Not for anything it can check with code or a lookup.
Tasks are shown to strangers, so the agent is told not to include secrets or more personal data than the decision needs.

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.
