Use Remoto with ChatGPT, Claude and other AI
Add Remoto to your AI assistant and ask it to find a professional human interpreter. It can check your languages, tell you whether someone can connect now, show prices, and give you a link to start or book the call on Remoto. Free, and no sign-in needed.
Connector URL
https://www.proz.com/remoto/api/mcpRemote MCP server, Streamable HTTP, no authentication. Paste it wherever your AI app asks for a connector or MCP server URL.
Add Remoto to your AI
Pick your assistant. Each takes about a minute. Menus change often; if a label differs, look for “connectors”, “MCP servers” or “tools” in its settings.
Claude

- Open Customize → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Name it Remoto and paste the connector URL.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)
Copilot Chat in agent mode

.vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"remoto": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://www.proz.com/remoto/api/mcp"
}
}
}Cursor
Cursor's agent
- Add Remoto to
~/.cursor/mcp.json(or.cursor/mcp.jsonin a project), then check it under Settings → MCP:
{
"mcpServers": {
"remoto": {
"url": "https://www.proz.com/remoto/api/mcp"

}Using another app? Any assistant that supports remote MCP servers can use the URL above.
Things to ask
What your AI can and can't do
It can
- Explain Remoto's services and which one fits your situation
- Recognise a language from an everyday name ("Farsi", "Brazilian Portuguese", "ASL")
- Check whether a language pair is covered, and whether someone can connect now or you should book ahead
- Tell you the per-minute price, or the total for a scheduled call, with all platform fees included
- Search public interpreter profiles by language, specialty, country and who is online now
- Show when an interpreter can be booked
- Answer questions from Remoto's help center, including security and HIPAA
- Give you a link that opens Remoto with your languages already filled in
It can't (yet)
- Book, start, cancel or pay for a call. You do that on Remoto, after opening the link
- See your Remoto account, past calls or invoices
- Contact an interpreter or share your details with anyone
- Join or listen to your calls
Links from your AI open Remoto with your languages filled in. You choose the interpreter, see the price, and start or book the call there. Calls are billed per second after a one-minute minimum; scheduled calls show one total before you confirm.
Privacy and health information
The connector only returns public information: services, languages, prices, public interpreter profiles and help articles. It never asks for your name, contact details or payment details.
Please don't share patient or health details with your AI. AI assistants and connectors are not covered by a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement. Healthcare organisations that need a BAA for their calls can request one from [email protected].
Each tool call leaves only a short technical log, with no questions or tool inputs, kept for 180 days. The details are in our privacy policy. Use of the connector is covered by the AI connector and agent terms.
For developers
Building your own assistant or agent? Use the same tools over MCP or REST. Both are public, read-only and rate-limited per IP address.
The same tools as plain REST: no key, read-only. Works as Custom GPT Actions or LangChain tools.
Machine-readable description of the connector: name, version, transport and protocol versions.
For platforms that start interpreted calls inside their own product. Needs an API key.

Questions
Does it cost anything to add Remoto to my AI?
No. The connector is free and needs no Remoto account or sign-in. You only pay for an interpreting call you choose to start or book on Remoto, at the price shown before the call.
Can my AI book or pay for an interpreter?
Not yet. The AI finds interpreters, checks prices and gives you a link. You open the link to choose an interpreter, start or book the call, and pay on Remoto's own page. The AI never sees your payment details.
Is it safe to discuss patients or other health details with my AI?
Please don't. AI assistants and connectors are not covered by a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, so leave out names, dates of birth, diagnoses and other health details. You don't need them to find an interpreter. Healthcare organisations that need a BAA for calls on Remoto can request one from [email protected].
What does Remoto keep when my AI uses the connector?
A short log of each tool call: which tool, which AI app, whether it worked, how long it took, any error code, the website it came from (if a browser sent one), the time, and a scrambled (keyed hash) form of the IP address. That log does not contain what you asked, the tool inputs, your name or email, or the IP address itself, and it is deleted after 180 days. Like any website, our servers and CDN also keep standard technical logs. The full details are in the privacy policy.
Which AI assistants work with Remoto?
Any assistant or tool that can add a remote MCP server (Model Context Protocol over Streamable HTTP): Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, Microsoft Copilot Studio, GitHub Copilot in VS Code, Cursor and many others. Developers can also use the same tools as a plain REST API.
