Give your assistant Alai

Connect Alai once and every tool above is callable from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client, behind the same server URL as 760+ other apps. Free to start.

Alai MCP, answered.

No. That is the point of it. One Activepieces server exposes Alai alongside every other piece you connect, so your client keeps a single connection.

Yes. Activepieces is open source and free to start, and the MCP server is included on every plan, from the free cloud tier to any self-hosted deployment.

Connect Alai in Activepieces, enable the server under Settings → MCP Server, then paste your server URL into your client config. It authenticates over OAuth on first use.

It can call 6 tools, including Generate Presentation, Get Generation, Export Presentation, and chain them with steps in other apps inside the same run.

Connections use OAuth2 with limited scopes and are stored under 256-bit encryption, with no API to read them back, so an agent gets scoped access rather than your keys.
