Maito uses Planning Center to do the work and replies where you asked.

## How to connect Planning Center

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to Planning Center. You sign in to Planning Center in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use Planning Center from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if Planning Center isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the Planning Center MCP server URL?

Planning Center publishes it at https://mcp.planningcenteronline.com/mcp, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the Planning Center MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect Planning Center?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use Planning Center, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect Planning Center before I ask?

No. If a request needs Planning Center and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in Planning Center?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any Planning Center tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools Planning Center adds later stay off until you turn them on.
