Tools
- Addgeneratedreply
Add an AI-generated reply suggestion to a thread. Required fields: - threadId: The ID of the thread to add the generated reply to. - timelineEntryId: The ID of the timeline entry to associate the reply with. - markdown: The markd
- Addlabels
Add labels to a thread by label type IDs. Labels are used to categorize and organize threads.
- Archivelabeltype
Archive a label type to hide it from the active label list. Archived label types are no longer available for selection but existing labels remain on threads. Use this to deprecate label types without losing historical data.
- Assignthread
Assign a thread to a user or machine user. Provide either userId or machineUserId, not both. If neither is provided, the thread will be assigned to the authenticated user.
- Bulkupsertthreadfields
Bulk upsert (create or update) multiple thread field values in a single operation. Provide an array of thread field inputs, each with thread ID, field key, field type, and value. Use this to efficiently set multiple custom fields on one o
- Changethreadpriority
Change the priority of a thread. Priority is an integer: 0 = urgent, 1 = high, 2 = normal, 3 = low.
- Createbroadcast
Create a new broadcast: a message authored once and posted to many Slack channels at once. Creating one never sends it — a new broadcast is a DRAFT, and scheduling the real send is done by a human in the Plain app. Required input fields
- Createbroadcastaudience
Create a reusable broadcast audience: a named set of broadcast recipients, resolved to concrete Slack channels at send time rather than when saved. Required input fields: `name`, `type`, `filters`. - `name` identifies the audience inte
- Createlabeltype
Create a new label type for organizing threads. Label types can be single-select or multi-select, and can be hierarchical with parent label types. Use this to add new labels to your workspace's label taxonomy.
- Createnote
Create an internal note on a thread. Notes are visible to support agents only, not to customers. Requires a customerId and text content. Optionally provide a threadId to attach the note to a specific thread, and markdown for rich formatt

- Deletethreadfieldschema
Delete a thread field schema from the workspace. This will remove the field schema and all associated thread field values from threads. Use this carefully as it permanently removes data.
- Deletethreadlink
Remove a link between a thread and an external entity. Pass the `threadLinkId` of the link to delete (the `id` returned by `createThreadLink` or listed under a thread's `links` in `getThreadDetails`).
- Getattachmentdownloadurl

Setup
- Create or open a Switchy Project.
- Open Integrations and connect Plain MCP.
- Authorise through oauth2. Switchy stores the connection against your org.
- Everyone in the Project can now @-mention the Plain MCP tools in chat.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Plain MCP are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.
