# Set up Relay with your AI assistant Relay is your AI notebook. This is the text of https://relayz.ai/instructions. ## Notes for AI assistants Someone asked you to help them add Relay. Everything you need is on this page, so you don’t need to search for it. Relay is at **relayz.ai**. These sites aren’t Relay and aren’t connected to it: relayz.io, relayz.net and relaymemory.com. Relay is one notebook that a person’s AI assistants share. It’s a remote MCP server at **https://relayz.ai/mcp**. The person signs in to Relay in their browser, with Google or their email, when their app connects, and that sign-in makes their Relay account if they don’t have one yet. There’s no API key. Relay is for people 16 and over. ### How to help 1. You’re already in the person’s app. Don’t send them to it or ask them to log in to it. Give each link as something to click, and say what it opens. 2. Use the section below for the app you’re running in. If you’re not sure which app or plan they have, or whether they’re on a computer or a phone, ask them. If they’re on a phone and the section for their app says to use a computer, tell them that first, and don’t send them to a page that only works on a computer. 3. Give one step at a time, and wait until they say it’s done. 4. These steps were checked on 27 October 2026. If their screen looks different, go by what they see. 5. Adding Relay happens in your app’s settings. You can guide them through it, but you can’t do it for them. 6. Before they click **Allow** on Relay’s page, ask them to check that it shows their own email and, if your app’s section names a site, that site. If anything looks wrong, they click **Deny**. Remind them to sign in with the same email they use with their other assistants, so their notes stay together. 7. Once Relay is connected, tell them to start a new chat and say hi to Relay. Relay explains the rest. ## ChatGPT **Needs:** ChatGPT, on a computer. On a work or school plan, ask your admin. 1. Click [chatgpt.com/plugins](https://chatgpt.com/plugins). It opens ChatGPT’s **Plugins** page. Click **Add**, at the top right, then **Add custom MCP server**. 2. Type **Relayz**, with a **z** at the end, as the name. In the **Connection** box, paste Relay’s link, **https://relayz.ai/mcp**, and check that the box says exactly that. Leave everything else as it is. 3. Scroll down. ChatGPT shows a warning for every app added this way. Read it, and if you’re happy to go on, tick **I understand and want to continue** and click **Create as a plugin**. 4. One more box appears: click **Connect Relayz**. A Relay page opens: sign in with Google or your email. 5. Relay asks whether ChatGPT may use your notebook. Relay’s page shows which app is asking. Check that the request is from **chatgpt.com** and that the page shows your email, then click **Allow**. If it names anything other than exactly **chatgpt.com** (even something that starts with it, like chatgpt.com.example) or shows another email, click **Deny**. 6. Go back to ChatGPT. Click **Relayz** under **Installed**, then **Try in chat**, and say hi to **@Relayz**. Relayz shows you what to try. In a new chat later, type **@Relayz** and pick **Relayz** first. After your first save, Relay gives you a link to see it on relayz.ai, with everything you’ve saved. ### If something’s off - No **Add** button, or no **Add custom MCP server**? Your ChatGPT may look different. Don’t change your plan. [Get help](https://relayz.ai/support). - ChatGPT says the name is taken? Check that you typed **Relayz**, with a **z**: ChatGPT has a different app called Relay. If you added Relayz before, click **Relayz** under **Installed**, then **Try in chat**. - Clicked **Deny**? Nothing was shared: open **Relayz** in your plugins and click **Connect**. Signed in with the wrong email? Remove Relayz (**Relayz**, then **Manage**) and start again. - ChatGPT didn’t use Relayz when you said hi? Type **@Relayz**, pick **Relayz**, then say hi again. ## Claude **Needs:** any Claude plan, including free (the free plan allows one custom connector). Claude is for adults 18 and over. Add Relay on a computer; it then shows up in the Claude desktop app too. 1. Click [relayz.ai/add/claude](https://relayz.ai/add/claude). It opens Claude’s own **Add custom connector** screen with Relay already filled in. Claude shows a red warning for any connector added from a link: read it. Check that the address says **relayz.ai**, then click **Continue**. Leave the options on the next screen as they are, then scroll down and click **Add**. 2. Relay now shows up in Claude. Click **Connect**. A Relay page opens: sign in with Google or your email. 3. Relay asks whether Claude may use your notebook. Relay’s page shows which app is asking. Check that the request is from **claude.ai** and that the page shows your email, then click **Allow**. If it names anything other than exactly **claude.ai** (even something that starts with it, like claude.ai.example) or shows another email, click **Deny**. 4. Go back to Claude. Click **New** and say hi to Relay. The first time, Claude asks before it uses Relay: click **Always allow**. Relay shows you what to try. Later, start a new chat and tell Claude what to remember. After your first save, Relay gives you a link to see it on relayz.ai, with everything you’ve saved. ### If something’s off - No form? In Claude, click **Customize**, then **Connectors**, then **Add** and **Add custom connector**. In **Name**, type **Relay**, and paste **https://relayz.ai/mcp** into **Remote MCP server URL**. Click **Continue**, then **Add**, then **Connect**. - Claude says you can only add one? The free plan allows one custom connector: remove the other one in **Connectors** first. - Claude shows an error after **Add**, or Relay’s Apps page names **Claude (unverified)**? Remove Relay in Claude, then add it again and leave **Use Claude’s published identity** chosen. - Claude didn’t use Relay when you said hi? Click **+** under the message box, then **Connectors**, and turn on **Relay**. Then say hi again. ## Gemini **Needs:** 18 or over and in the US, a personal Google account (not a work or school one), **Keep Activity** on, and Gemini in English. Add Relay on a computer; it then works in the Gemini phone app too. 1. On a computer, in Gemini ([gemini.google.com](https://gemini.google.com)), click **Settings** at the bottom, then **Connected Apps**. No **Connected Apps**? Click **Personal Intelligence**, then **Connected Apps**. 2. Under **Custom apps**, click **Add a custom app** (the first time, it’s a link). Paste Relay’s link, **https://relayz.ai/mcp**, and click **Next**. 3. A Relay page opens: sign in with Google or your email. Check that Relay’s page shows your email, then click **Allow**. If it shows another email, click **Deny**. 4. One more step for Gemini: open [Apps on relayz.ai](https://relayz.ai/account?view=workspace#apps). Under **Waiting for approval**, find the new app (it may show as **Gemini (unverified)**) and click **Approve**. Approve it only if you just added Relay yourself. If you didn’t, click **Block**. 5. Start a new chat in Gemini. Type **@**, pick **Relay** and say hi. Relay shows you what to try. After your first save, Relay gives you a link to see it on relayz.ai, with everything you’ve saved. ### If something’s off - No **Custom apps**? Check the needs above: custom apps are only for personal accounts in the US, with **Keep Activity** on and Gemini in English. - Gemini says Relay can’t do something, or nothing is saved? Check that you approved the app under Apps on relayz.ai (step 4), then try again in a new chat. - Signed in with the wrong email? In **Connected Apps**, click **More details** next to Relay, then **Remove app**, and add it again. ## Claude Code, Codex or Cursor Add Relay with the commands below, then sign in to Relay in your browser, check it shows your email and click **Allow**. Then open [Apps on relayz.ai](https://relayz.ai/account?view=workspace#apps) and click **Approve** next to the new app. Approve it only if you just added Relay yourself. If you didn’t, click **Block**. Then say hi to Relay. ### Claude Code In a terminal, run: ``` claude mcp add --transport http relay https://relayz.ai/mcp ``` Then, in Claude Code, type **/mcp**, pick **relay** and choose **Authenticate**. ### Codex In a terminal, run: ``` codex mcp add relay --url https://relayz.ai/mcp codex mcp login relay ``` ### Cursor Open **Cursor Settings**, then **MCP**, and add a server with Relay’s link, **https://relayz.ai/mcp**, or use [Install in Cursor](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=Relay%20Memory&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3JlbGF5ei5haS9tY3AifQ%3D%3D). Then click **Connect** next to it. ## Another assistant If it can add a remote MCP server that signs in through the browser, Relay’s link works there too: **https://relayz.ai/mcp**. Sign in to Relay, check it shows your email, click **Allow**, then approve the app under [Apps on relayz.ai](https://relayz.ai/account?view=workspace#apps). Approve it only if you just added Relay yourself. If you didn’t, click **Block**. If your assistant can’t, Relay doesn’t work there yet; ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini can. ## Get help Write to support@relayz.ai. Stuck? Get help at relayz.ai/support
