Padlet MCP: read and edit your boards from Claude or ChatGPT

Read, search, create and edit Padlet boards from a chat, down to posts, sections, comments, settings and sharing. Padlet's MCP server does the work, and ContextGate connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. A teacher can ask for a summary of every post on a class board, and you can switch off the sharing tools so an AI app can't change who sees a board.

Bring your Padlet boards into an AI app

  1. 1Click Connect Padlet free and sign in with your Padlet account.
  2. 2All Padlet tools are on once you connect. Reading and searching boards is the everyday use; switch off the tools that change settings or sharing if boards should stay as their owners set them.
  3. 3Add ContextGate to your AI app as a connector or MCP server. The steps for each app are on the Works with page.
  4. 4Ask your AI app to summarize the posts in one section of a Padlet board, then look in Activity for the calls.

Board work you can ask for

  • Summarize the posts and comments on a board.
  • Search your boards for a post you remember.
  • Create a board with sections, or add posts to an existing one.
  • Change a board's settings or who it's shared with.

Boards stay shared the way you set them

  • Switch off the sharing and settings tools; your AI app can still read and post.
  • Policies check each call, so a student's or colleague's personal details can be hidden.
  • Activity records every board your AI app read or edited.

What you get with Padlet and ContextGate

  • Your AI apps can use PadletClaude, Cursor, ChatGPT and other AI apps reach Padlet through the one ContextGate connection you add to them.
  • You choose which tools they can useSwitch off any Padlet tool you don't want used. It's hidden from your AI apps and refused if called.
  • Every call is checked and recordedYour policies check each call (for example, personal data is hidden and secrets are blocked), and Activity keeps a record of it.

ContextGate sees only the tool calls that go through it, not your AI app's built-in tools or your chats.
