Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Self-hosted AI workspace: semantic RAG document search, long-term memory, and AI chat via MCP.

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs in the cloud
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Category: Search & AI memory
You need to fill in: X-API-Key

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
Can do 10 things (tools) synaplan_chat, rag_search, memory_search, memory_add …
You fill in yourself: X-API-Key

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http synaplan https://web.synaplan.com/mcp --header 'X-API-Key: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "synaplan": {
      "url": "https://web.synaplan.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "synaplan": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://web.synaplan.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

synaplan_chat
Send a message through Synaplan's full AI pipeline — intent classification, web search, RAG over the user's documents, long-term memories, and inference — and return the synthesized answer. This is richer than a raw model call: it uses the authenticated account's knowledge base a
rag_search
Semantic search across the authenticated user's vectorized documents and knowledge base. Returns the most relevant text chunks with similarity scores.
memory_search
Search the authenticated user's stored long-term memories (preferences, facts, context) using semantic similarity.
memory_add
Store a new long-term memory for the authenticated user — a durable fact or preference that Synaplan will recall in future conversations.
file_ingest
Add a text document to the authenticated user's knowledge base. The content is chunked, embedded, and stored so it becomes retrievable via rag_search.
rag_similar
Find document chunks similar to a given source message/document id (the `message_id` returned by rag_search).
list_chats
List the authenticated user's conversations (most recently updated first).
get_messages
Return the messages of one of the user's chats, in chronological order.
list_prompts
List the user's available Synaplan task prompts (internal `tools:*` prompts excluded).
list_assistants
List assistants the authenticated user may use from a connected app. Each row includes slug, name, description, version and origin.

Common questions

Is Synaplan safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: X-API-Key

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (5.7.1) reached the registry 2 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

Build AI assistants on your own documents and put them wherever work happens: web, WhatsApp, email, Outlook, Nextcloud and ownCloud. Mix local models with the best cloud AI, see what every answer costs, and decide what the AI is allowed to do – open source, on your server or ours.

Run it in up to five minutes · Try it hosted · Docs · Discord

Self-hosting is free. The hosted version opens with a paid plan or an invitation code – ask us at team@synaplan.com .

Chat, the cost of every answer, your files, generated media and connected apps – in about 30 seconds.

Why Synaplan

Own your channels. One assistant answers on your website, in WhatsApp, by email, in Outlook and inside Nextcloud and ownCloud – with the same knowledge and the same rules everywhere.
Own your models. Hundreds of models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, sovereign EU providers or locally via Ollama. Mix them per task: sensitive work stays local, everything else gets the best model for the job.
Own your costs. Every answer shows its model and price. A planner splits bigger requests into steps and spends the expensive model only where it matters.
Own the decisions. Actions like sending mail or creating tickets wait for your approval, and every step is logged.
Own the stack. On-prem, EU cloud or fully air-gapped. No training on your data, no forced telemetry, no feature paywall: self-hosted Synaplan is the same software as our cloud, under Apache-2.0.

Quickstart

You need: Docker with Compose v2 and 8 GB of RAM.

git clone https://github.com/metadist/synaplan.git

cd synaplan make up

Open [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173), log in as admin@synaplan.com / admin123 and say hello. Your first message starts the Synaplan Demo – no API key needed (40 messages a day for 14 days, how it works). When you're ready, add your own key (free: Groq) or run local models with Ollama.

The first start downloads everything and takes 5–15 minutes. After that, Synaplan starts in seconds.

[!IMPORTANT]

These logins are for trying Synaplan on your own machine. On a server, use the installer – it creates its own admin password.

How it compares

People usually arrive comparing Synaplan with a chat window or an app builder. This is what each project is for. It is not a scoreboard.

	Synaplan	Open WebUI	LibreChat	Dify
What it is	A team platform: chat, your files as knowledge, a site widget, and the same assistant on WhatsApp and email	A chat interface for local and cloud models	A chat app for many providers	A builder for AI apps and workflows
First run	Several containers, about 4 GB	One container	A Compose stack	A Compose stack, and a hosted cloud
Cost of an answer	Shown on the answer	Not on the answer	Not on the answer	In the builder's usage logs, not on the chat answer
Same assistant on your site, WhatsApp and email	Yes	No	No	Site widget yes. WhatsApp and email are not built in

If you only want a chat window, Open WebUI or LibreChat gets you there faster.

Under the hood

Stack: Symfony (PHP) backend, Vue frontend, MariaDB VECTOR or Qdrant for document search, Redis, Docker.
Lean core: app, database and Redis. Local AI, office files, web search, voice and more are building blocks you switch on when you need them.
Open by design: OpenAPI REST API, MCP server and client, an Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages endpoint and a plugin system – extend Synaplan without forking it.
