The computer and battery both have "smart systems" to prevent overcharging so, yes, you can leave it plugged in.
However, I like to run my old Macbook Pro on battery about once a week. An Apple tech document, written before the Great Dumbing Down of such articles at the Altar of Minimalist Design stripped out many details, recommended using the computer on battery about once a week to, as it said, "keep it exercised." I have, and it still gives usable runtime after 11 years and lots of travel! Pretty amazing.
