Scrivener MCP

Connect your Scrivener projects to Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants

Install · What You Can Do · All Tools · Guides · Contributing

Scrivener MCP lets your AI assistant open, read, edit, analyze, and search your Scrivener projects directly. No copy-pasting. No exporting. Just open your novel and start working.

You: Open my novel and analyze the pacing in Chapter 12.

Claude: Opens your .scriv project, reads Chapter 12, runs pacing analysis. The first half moves well with short, tense paragraphs. The middle section slows considerably -- the three-page internal monologue starting at paragraph 14 stalls the momentum you built in the confrontation scene. Consider cutting it to a single paragraph and moving the backstory to Chapter 8 where Elena is first introduced.

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code (Copilot/Continue), Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Scrivener 3 on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Install

Pick the method that works for you. All of them auto-configure Claude Desktop on install.
