Every founder builds for an imagined user. The real ones never quite match.
Our vision has been the same from day one: one knowledge base that works across all your AI tools.
And to achieve that, we launched our MCP Server in February. It connected to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, LM Studio, and most major AI agents. As far as we were concerned, the MCP chapter was closed.
Then we launched on AppSumo.
Within days, users kept asking for one thing: "๐๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ธ?"
Then came the questions about headless agents. CI scripts. n8n workflows. Users had intricate setups. They wanted a memory store for their OpenClaw agents, which they could also plug into Claude, which they could also call from a workflow runner. One memory, three completely different environments.
That's when we realized our MCP Server had a problem: it only supported OAuth. *facepalm*
(Getting a bit technical here, bear with me)
OAuth assumes there's a user sitting at a UI who can click "sign in" in a browser window. That's fine for Claude Desktop. It falls apart the moment you're running a headless agent on a server, or chaining four tools together in an automated workflow. Nobody is there to click anything!
So the team got to work. A few days later, we shipped Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for the MCP Server.
And that's how we ended up being the ๐ผ๐ป๐น๐ ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ that works in three places at once:
โ In your browser, as a sidebar
โ Inside your chat agents, as an extension or MCP server
โ In your programmatic workflows, as an MCP with PAT-based authentication
New setup guides for everything are at docs.plurality.network.
Maybe a weekend project: give your OpenClaw or n8n agents a memory. Make them less forgetful, more intelligent, and a lot more useful.
If you are already running such setups, we have a lifetime deal going on for AI Context Flow: https://appsumo.8odi.net/m4n0da

This is such a real founder moment , users rarely use products the way we originally imagine. The shift from "tool feature "to "infrastructure layer " usually starts with these unexpected workflow requests . PAT support sounds like one of those small changes that unlocks way bigger adoption.

@james_anderson77ย @hira_siddiqui1ย Exactly.
@james_anderson77ย i love this kind of founder story because it shows how real users quietly reshape the product roadmap. Iโve seen the same thing happen with automation workflows
