Troubleshoot
Plot tools don't appear in a chat
Start a new chat after you connect. Then check that the Plot connector is turned on in the chat's tools menu.
Claude can't reach the server
Claude connects from Anthropic's servers, so the Plot server must be reachable
from the internet. https://mcp.plot.app/mcp is public, so check the URL for
typing mistakes.
