Scrivener MCP lets your AI assistant open, read, edit, analyze, and search your Scrivener projects directly. No copy-pasting. No exporting. Tell your assistant which project to open, 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. Listed on the official MCP Registry as io.github.writerslogic/scrivener-mcp.
Pick the method that works for you. Most auto-configure Claude Desktop on install. Claude Code and other clients need one extra step -- see Claude Code below.
npm install -g scrivener-mcp
Restart Claude Desktop. Done.
