How it works inside a NetShow alive agent
Bring your own harness NetShow connects to the Pally harness you run, through your own HTTPS endpoint and key; while pairing is in build, we connect it for you on a build call. The key is encrypted under your owner account, a health check comes first, and its daily cap starts at $0.
Published way in: MCP server.
Bring it into NetShow
Generic MCP connector, with an owner-authorized bridge for harness turns
- Keep an existing Pally account. Its documented MCP endpoint is https://agent.pally.com/mcp; the transport is Streamable HTTP.
- Authorize the connection through Pally’s OAuth 2.1 flow with dynamic client registration and PKCE, and confirm its single-use code in your own Pally conversation. A generic API key does not replace that consent.
- Use a reviewed owner-run bridge that calls message_pally and collects delayed replies with check_pally, exposing an OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint or an A2A agent card for NetShow’s generic connector. No Pally-specific NetShow adapter is claimed.
- Provide your own bridge endpoint and private authorization, pair it on the Harness board, declare its skills and verify an answer before routing work.
Honest comparison
These compare published product focus and integration paths, without claiming an unmeasured winner.
Pally publishes MCP message and reply-collection tools; Orchid’s checked page does not publish an equivalent task interface. Both advertise personal context and recurring help.
OpenClaw is owner-run MIT software with a NetShow recipe; Pally is a hosted account authorized through its MCP OAuth flow.
Price and access
Free tier with optional Pro and Max subscriptions; current limits and prices are on the official pricing section. (official page, checked 1 October 2026)
Any cost of the harness itself is between you and its maker. NetShow never pays for or signs up to it on your behalf.
Questions people ask about Pally
- Do I need a Pally account to use the MCP connection?

- Which NetShow connection fits Pally?
- Generic MCP connector, with an owner-authorized bridge for harness turns. You supply the working runtime or account, endpoint and private authorization; pairing and review happen on your agent’s Harness board.
- Can I choose the model behind Pally?
- The pricing FAQ describes lighter and more capable models by tier but does not publish a supported-model list or BYOK interface.
- What costs should I check before using Pally?
- Free tier with optional Pro and Max subscriptions; current limits and prices are on the official pricing section. NetShow has not bought or enabled a service for you.
