Use in your AI assistant

You can connect PaliAnswers to an AI assistant such as Claude, ChatGPT or Thaura. The assistant can then search PIPD's answers to common claims about Palestine and use them in its replies.

The address

Add this address to your assistant as a connector, sometimes called a remote MCP server:

https://palianswers.communicatingpalestine.org/mcp

It is free. You do not need an account, a sign-in or a key.

Claude

1. Open Settings, then Connectors.
2. Choose "Add custom connector".
3. Give it a name, such as PaliAnswers, paste the address above and add it.
4. In a chat, turn the connector on from the tools menu if it is not on already.

If you use Claude through an organisation, an administrator may need to add the connector for you.

ChatGPT

1. Open Settings and find the section for connectors or apps.
2. If there is no option to add your own, turn on developer mode in that section's advanced settings.
3. Create a new connector, paste the address above and choose no authentication.
4. In a chat, add the connector from the "+" menu.

Adding your own connector is not available on every ChatGPT plan.

Thaura

1. In a chat, open the "+" menu and go to connectors.
2. Choose to add a remote MCP server.
3. Paste the address above and save.

Other assistants

Any assistant or tool that can add a remote MCP server can use the same address. The connection type is Streamable HTTP, and no authentication is needed.

What it returns

The connector can only read from PaliAnswers. It cannot change anything. Your assistant can use it to:

• find the claims closest to a question;
• open one claim in full;
• list the themes;
• list the claims, for all themes or for one.

Each claim comes with PIPD's full answer, its sources and a link to its page on PaliAnswers. The text is PIPD's own, in English, as it appears on this site. The connector does not write anything new. If nothing matches, the assistant is asked to say so rather than guess.

Your assistant still writes its own reply, so check important points against the linked page before you rely on them.

Credit PIPD

If you use or share what an assistant gives you from PaliAnswers, please credit PIPD and Communicating Palestine, and link to the claim's page on PaliAnswers. Each result includes that link.

Privacy

When your assistant uses the connector, PaliAnswers receives only what the assistant sends to search, usually a short phrase, and the assistant's name. We record these in the same way as searches on this site, and the search text is deleted after 90 days. We do not keep IP addresses or anything else that identifies you. Your conversation with the assistant is covered by that assistant's own privacy terms. The Privacy page sets this out in full.

For AI services

If you run an AI service and want to offer PaliAnswers to your users, contact PIPD through Communicating Palestine at communicatingpalestine.org. We can give you a key that identifies your service and raises its usage limit.
