Connect your AI to longbook (MCP)
Your AI reads your longbook and writes into it through longbook's MCP server. There are two ways to connect.
Online, from any device
Needs longbook Cloud ($4 a month, the first 12 months included with your purchase). Your AI connects to:
https://longbook.app/mcp
- Claude: Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste the address, sign in with your longbook account.
- ChatGPT: Settings, Connectors, add the address, sign in.
- Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http longbook https://longbook.app/mcp, then run/mcpto sign in. - Other AI apps that support remote MCP: point them at the address.
First, in AI Connections, turn on Let AI Read My longbook. Your AI then reads a copy only your account can reach. To let it suggest changes, also turn on Allow proposals. Suggestions wait in Proposals.
On your computer, free
No account and no hosted copy. See "Run longbook's server on your computer".
Questions
Which AI works?
Claude, ChatGPT, and any assistant that supports MCP connectors.
Can my AI change things without asking?
No. It can only make proposals online, and every proposal shows in Proposals with its name.
How do I disconnect an AI?
Disconnect it in AI Connections, or turn off Let AI Read My longbook. It takes effect at once, and turning it off deletes the copy.
I'm stuck.
