Connect Planther to Claude
Works on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise
- 1
Open claude.ai (or the Claude desktop app) and sign in.
- 2
Go to Customize, then Connectors.
- 3
Click "+ Add", then "Add custom connector".
- 4
Name it "Planther", paste in this link and click Continue:
https://mcp.planther.co.uk - 5
Leave the sign-in settings Claude suggests as they are, click Continue, then Add.
- 6
Sign in to Planther and click Allow.
- 7
In any chat, click the "+" in the message box, choose Connectors and switch Planther on.
On Claude's Free plan you can add one custom connector. On Claude Team or Enterprise, your Claude workspace owner adds Planther first (Organization settings, then Connectors); you then find it under Customize, then Connectors, and click Connect. Once added, Planther also works in the Claude mobile app. If you can't see Customize, look for Connectors in Settings.
Connect Planther to ChatGPT
ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu, added on the web
- 1
Open ChatGPT in a web browser (chatgpt.com) and sign in.
- 2
Open Plugins in the sidebar, click the + button, then "Add custom MCP server".
- 3
Enter the name "Planther" and, under Connection, paste in this link:
https://mcp.planther.co.uk - 4
Set the sign-in to OAuth, tick "I understand and want to continue", then click "Create as a plugin".
- 5
Sign in to Planther and click Allow.
- 6
Start a new chat, type @ and pick Planther.
On ChatGPT Business, only a workspace admin or owner can add Planther; once they publish it, everyone in the workspace finds it under Plugins. On Enterprise and Edu, an admin can also let chosen people add it. It is added on the web, not the mobile app. On a personal Plus or Pro plan, OpenAI does not yet officially support adding your own; if you don't see the option, Claude is the easiest way in.
Connect Planther to Copilot
Microsoft 365 Copilot, through your IT team
You can't add Planther to Copilot yourself. If your firm uses Microsoft 365 Copilot, your IT team can make Planther available to everyone as a Copilot agent, and you then pick it from the agents list. Send them this page and the link below. They add it in Copilot Studio as a Model Context Protocol tool, with OAuth sign-in set to dynamic discovery, then approve the agent in the Microsoft 365 admin centre.

What your AI can do
Once Planther is connected, just ask. Your AI uses Planther's planning tools and data to do the work.
Check your statement in Word
Open your draft in Word with your AI beside it. It checks each policy you cite against the adopted plan and each constraint against the site, and points out what is missing.
Back your case with appeals
Find how inspectors weighed the same issue under the same local plan, with their own words, the case number and a link to the decision letter.
Read the officer reports
Ask what the officer said about the scheme next door. Your AI opens the report and decision notice from the council website and reads them for you.
Work from your project files
Bring in a Planther project, and your AI knows the site, its outline and the council, and can read the drawings, reports and emails you have added.
Size up a site in one ask
Constraints, planning history, appeals nearby and what the site looks like from above, brought together into a first view of its prospects.
Quote the plan exactly
Your AI reads the council's own local plan, guidance and policies map page by page, so quotes are word for word and each one links to its page.
