Use SimplyPrint from any AI assistant - one URL, OAuth, done

SimplyPrint ships an official MCP server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI assistants talk to external tools in a structured way. If your assistant supports MCP, you can point it at SimplyPrint with a single URL and control your farm in natural language.

That includes Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code), ChatGPT's custom connectors, Google Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, and most modern open-source AI chat frontends - they all speak MCP, and they all work with the exact same SimplyPrint connector.

One server URL: https://simplyprint.io/api/mcp. OAuth for login. Scoped tokens, revocable any time.

Supported AI clients

  • Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code) - see the dedicated Claude integration page.
  • ChatGPT - custom connector in the ChatGPT app. Official SimplyPrint app is in review with OpenAI.
  • Google Gemini CLI - see the dedicated Gemini CLI integration page or run gemini extensions install https://github.com/SimplyPrint/simplyprint-gemini-extension.
  • Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP-aware editors - add a remote MCP server with the URL above.
  • Self-hosted chat frontends - any client that implements the MCP client spec will work.

Why OAuth, not API keys?

Pasting an API key into a chatbot is risky: the key is unbounded and hard to revoke. MCP uses OAuth, so every connection is scoped to exactly the permissions you approve and can be revoked instantly from Account settings > Connected apps.

What your assistant can do

The SimplyPrint MCP server exposes the same actions as the main API: list and control printers, manage the print queue, inspect and reorganise files, adjust filament spools, pull stats and print history, set custom fields. New tools appear automatically as SimplyPrint gains features - no re-connecting needed.

Full setup steps per client, scope reference and example prompts live in the help desk MCP article.

  • One URL works in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf and more
  • OAuth login - no API keys pasted into chatbots
  • Per-connection scopes: grant only what the assistant needs
  • Revoke access instantly from your SimplyPrint account
  • New SimplyPrint tools appear automatically as features ship
  • Open standard - no vendor lock-in

How to connect an AI assistant to SimplyPrint

1

Open the client's MCP settings

Find the custom connectors or remote MCP server option - every client names it slightly differently, but the shape is always the same.

2

Paste the server URL

https://simplyprint.io/api/mcp is the whole configuration - no keys, no extra fields.

3

Approve access

When the client first calls a SimplyPrint tool, it opens a browser for OAuth. Log in to SimplyPrint and approve the scopes you want it to have.

4

Start asking

You're connected - ask the assistant anything about your farm, queue, files or filament.

Frequently asked questions

What is the SimplyPrint MCP server?

An official remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at https://simplyprint.io/api/mcp exposing around 70 tools for printers, queue, files, filament, stats and print history - so any MCP-aware AI assistant can read and control your SimplyPrint account.

Which AI assistants work with it?

Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop and the Claude Code plugin), ChatGPT via custom connectors, Google's Gemini CLI extension, and MCP-aware editors like Cursor, Windsurf, Cline and Zed. Any client that implements the MCP spec works.

Is there an API key to configure?

No - the server uses OAuth2. Each connection gets a per-user, scoped token: you approve exactly what the assistant can do, and you can revoke it at any time from Account settings > Connected apps.

Can the AI break my prints?

You decide how much it can do. Scopes can be read-only or full control, assistants ask before destructive actions like cancelling a print, and access is revocable instantly.

Which printers can an AI assistant control this way?

Any printer connected to SimplyPrint - 140+ brands and 600+ models through OctoPrint, Klipper or a built-in integration.

Where do I find setup steps for my specific client?

The AI assistant setup article has per-client walkthroughs, the full scope reference and example prompts.

About SimplyPrint integrations

Integration for SimplyPrint allows for applications to interact with your 3D printers, and your 3D printers to interact with other applications. This allows for endless possibilities, and we strongly believe that your 3D printer should be able to function as an IOT device, working together with any and all applications you can imagine!

This is why the team behind SimplyPrint work to provide official integrations for the most popular platforms, slicer and applications, while also allowing our users to create custom integrations using our API, or for approved third party vendors to create integrations to be used by all SimplyPrint users, using a "Log in with SimplyPrint" method (using the "OAuth2" method).

If you're a developer interested in creating an integration for SimplyPrint, please read our documentation on the subject.

If you're not a developer yourself, but would like to see an integration for a specific application, go check if it's already on our roadmap or suggestion list, and if not, feel free to suggest it!
