Planning Center MCP server

What the model can do

Planning Center church management: people (name, status, membership) and their workflow cards, lists, workflows with card counts, service types and plans with who is scheduled to serve, calendar event instances, groups and check-in headcounts. Can add a note to a person, add a person, rename a person or change membership, add an email address, put a person on a workflow, move, assign, remove or restore a workflow card and add a note to it, and add a member to a group, each only when asked.

Connect it

First connect Planning Center on Dashboard → Connections, then add Memtro to your client once. The Planning Center tools appear alongside the tools of everything else you have connected; nothing is configured per connector.

Who may use it

The key identifies the person, and the server offers that person the tools they may use everywhere else in Memtro. A shared Planning Center connection is used by the teams an administrator granted it to, tool by tool, on the Permissions page; a personal connection is used by its owner alone, and its tools that act stay off until the owner allows them. See Teams and permissions and Connectors.

Ask it like this

• › Who is serving on Sunday morning this week?
• › Which positions still need people for next Sunday?
• › How many first-time guest cards are overdue?
• › What was our headcount over the last month?
• › Put Maya Okafor on the first-time guests workflow

Questions

Is this an official Planning Center MCP server?

No. It is Memtro's MCP server with Memtro's Planning Center connector behind it: the connector reads Planning Center through its API with the credentials you connect on Dashboard → Connections, and Planning Center publishes nothing here. The same endpoint carries every other system you connect and Memtro's memory tools.

What does it cost?

Nothing on top of Memtro. One price per organisation by its number of users, from $50 a month for up to 10 users after a 7-day free trial, with every connector, the MCP server, jobs and memory included. You bring your own model keys.

Can it change anything in Planning Center?

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add a note to a person's profile (people subscribed to the note category may be told); add a person to Planning Center People; change a person's name, nickname or membership; add an email address to a person; put a person on a workflow (the assignee may be told); move a workflow card forward or back, skip a step, remove, restore or unsnooze it; assign a workflow card to someone (they may be told); add a note to a workflow card; add a person to a group as a member. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. An administrator grants each acting tool by name per team, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Which clients work?

Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenCode, Codex, Zed, Windsurf, Cline and the Anthropic and OpenAI SDKs. There is no local process to run; the server is remote and authenticated with your key.
