DEPRECATED: Plugins Server is no longer officially supported by the TypingMind team. We now recommend using MCP instead. You can still continue using it, but we do not offer technical support or provide updates.
Plugins Server provides a proxy server for Typing Mind’s Plugins. A proxy server is needed for complex use cases where a server is required for processing data that cannot be done from the client side in Typing Mind. Plugins Server is open-source. See the code on GitHub: https://github.com/TypingMind/plugins-server On this page, we’ll guide you on how to deploy the Plugins Server on Render.com. You can deploy on any other hosting providers you want, the steps are almost identical.

    🚨 You should keep your plugin server URL confidential and manage your server independently. Never share or publish it, as others may misuse it or occupy all of your free tier usage.
  4. Configure the plugin to use your server.
    • Inside your TypingMind Plugin settings, there’s probably a place to put the address of your project that’s now live on Render. plugin.webp
