Use Piply in Kiro

Kiro handles MCP sign-in for you in the IDE. Add Piply to its MCP config and Kiro's agent can use your lectures as context for explanations and practice.

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

  • A current Kiro IDE with remote MCP and OAuth support.
  • A Piply account (free).

Connect Piply to Kiro

Documentation checked . Official setup documentation.

  1. 1 In Kiro IDE, run Kiro: Open user MCP config (JSON) from the Command Palette. For a project-only setup, edit .kiro/settings/mcp.json.
  2. 2 Merge the Piply entry below into mcpServers and save.
  3. 3 Complete Kiro's OAuth sign-in prompt in your browser. Sign in to Piply and approve access.
  4. 4 Ask Kiro: What can Piply do here?
mcp.json 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "piply": { "url": "https://api.piply.ai/mcp" }
  }
}

Kiro documents automatic OAuth for remote servers in both IDE and CLI. Each client still needs its own configured server and completed authorization.

What Kiro 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

Workspace or user config?

Put it in ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json to use Piply everywhere, or .kiro/settings/mcp.json for one project.

Do I need to set a client ID?

No. Leave the oauth block out and Kiro registers itself with Piply.
