Use Piply in Continue

This Continue guide uses agent mode with mcp-remote, which handles Piply sign-in on your computer. It describes this bridge configuration rather than every version’s native OAuth support.

Illustrative prompt. After connecting, check the source references and any saved result in Piply. This example is not a record of a completed tool call.

Account access and review

Sign-in authorizes the connection to your Piply account under the permissions you approve. Asking about one file does not restrict access to that file. Review the host’s tool controls and check generated content against your materials. Disconnecting does not retract information already sent to the host.

What you need

  • Continue in VS Code or JetBrains.
  • Node.js (for npx).
  • A Piply account (free).

Connect Piply to Continue

Documentation checked . Official setup documentation. mcp-remote bridge documentation.

  1. 1 Open Continue's config.yaml.
  2. 2 Add the Piply entry below under mcpServers and save.
  3. 3 mcp-remote opens your browser to sign in to Piply. Tap Allow access.
  4. 4 In agent mode, ask: What can Piply do here?
config.yaml 
mcpServers:
  - name: Piply
    command: npx
    args: ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.piply.ai/mcp"]

MCP tools work in Continue's agent mode, not plain chat.

What Continue can do with Piply

These tasks need a client that can call the relevant Piply tools and your approved permissions. Saving requires a course you created; shared and public courses are read-only. Ask the host to use Piply, then check its response and any saved result.

  • Find source material Search course materials and request page references you can check.
  • Make and save quizzes Request a quiz from selected pages, then check its questions and saved lessons in Piply.
  • Save flashcards Successfully saved flashcard sets join spaced-repetition reviews in Piply. Ask the host to save the set and check its link.
  • Save study resources Request study notes, mind maps, word searches or anagram games and check the saved result.
  • Check review priorities Request due reviews, recorded weak topics and Piply’s suggested next study step.
  • Add course materials Save text as material. File import needs a supported host attachment or upload workflow.

Questions

Does this work in JetBrains IDEs?

Continue's JetBrains extension uses its YAML configuration too. You still need an agent-capable model and Node.js for this bridge.

Why the bridge?

This guide uses Continue's documented STDIO server configuration. mcp-remote handles the remote connection and Piply OAuth sign-in.
