How to Install the Pleo MCP as a Custom MCP

This page covers connecting a client to the Pleo MCP server. Choose the path that matches your client.

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

Pleo MCP access is off by default; a company admin must enable it for your organisation before you can connect. See Access & Permissions if you’re not sure whether it’s enabled.
You have access to a supported MCP client or terminal.

The Pleo MCP server is a standard remote HTTP MCP endpoint. Any client that supports remote MCP connections can connect using the production URL:

https://mcp.pleo.io/mcp

Property	Value
Production URL	`https://mcp.pleo.io/mcp`
Staging URL	`https://mcp.staging.pleo.io/mcp`
Transport	Streamable HTTP
Authentication	OAuth 2.0 (browser-based, no credentials to configure)

Pleo provides a staging MCP server for testing against non-production data.

Follow the steps below to connect to the staging server.

In the staging Pleo app, go to Settings → General → Pleo AI. Under the MCP section, enable Pleo MCP access for your entity.
Use the staging URL in place of the production URL:

https://mcp.staging.pleo.io/mcp

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http pleo-mcp-staging https://mcp.staging.pleo.io/mcp

You are now connected to the staging MCP server.
