The Prelude MCP server lets AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or VS Code read your Prelude data and answer questions about it in plain language. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI agents use external tools. The MCP server is read-only: an agent can look things up, but it cannot change anything in your account. It currently covers Verify phone verifications. Support for other Prelude products is coming.
To enable the MCP server on your app, contact us. Access is enabled per app.

​
What you can ask

Once your agent is connected, ask it things like:
  • “How did my verification conversion rate evolve over the last 30 days?”
  • “Which countries had the lowest conversion rate last week, and what did they cost me?”
  • “Find the verification for +33 6 12 34 56 78 from yesterday and tell me why it failed.”
  • “How many verifications were blocked as fraud this week compared to last week?”
  • “What would switching Brazil to the cost strategy change for me?”
  • “Which templates do I have on my app and what does the default one look like?”

​
Connect your agent

You need a Dashboard account with access to the app, and an AI agent that supports remote MCP servers. The MCP server URL is https://mcp.prelude.dev/v1/mcp.
1

In Claude (web or desktop), open Settings, then Connectors. Click Add custom connector, name it Prelude, and paste https://mcp.prelude.dev/v1/mcp as the server URL. Click Add, then Connect and sign in.

Sign in and allow access

Your browser opens to the Dashboard sign-in page. Once you sign in, a consent screen asks you to allow the agent to connect to your Prelude workspace. Click Allow access.
3

Start asking questions

The agent first lists the apps you have access to, then uses the app you name. Ask it a question about your Prelude data to try it out.

​
Rate limits

The MCP server limits how many requests your account can make, across all tools: Going over a limit returns an error asking you to wait before retrying. Most agents retry on their own.

​
Disconnect

Remove Prelude from your agent’s MCP settings.

​
Troubleshooting

MCP is not enabled for this app: the MCP server is not enabled on that app yet. Contact us to enable it.
access denied to app <id>: your Dashboard account does not have access to that app. Ask an Owner of the app to invite you from the Dashboard.
rate limit exceeded: wait a moment and ask again.
Make sure you can sign in at app.prelude.so, then remove and re-add the server in your agent.
