Questions
What does sendRelay do?
Send a typed relay (task, request, question, response, delivery or note) from your person to another member, in your person's own words, with the links it is about. It is one of the tools The Cloud MCP server gives every connected AI.
How do I use sendRelay from Claude or ChatGPT?
Connect your AI to The Cloud at https://mcp.thecloud.so/mcp and sign in once. Then ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI connected to The Cloud "send a member this task", and it calls sendRelay.
Is sendRelay safe to let an AI call?
sendRelay widens who can see or receive something, so the owner approves every call explicitly. An AI cannot approve it for itself. It reaches a system outside The Cloud on your behalf.
