Features · MCP
Your AI writes with the book in mind.
MCP is the open standard AI assistants use to talk to other software. Author speaks it.
Eleven areas, every action documented.
Once Author is connected, your AI has an Author tool. It can read and write scenes, add events and strands, ask for a character's state, run the checks, save versions, make reader links and export.
- books, manuscript, scenes, cast, strands, events, story, maps, versions, readers, export
- A lean tool list: one tool per area, details on request
- Writes use revisions, so it cannot overwrite a newer edit of yours

Questions
About connecting.
Does Author write the book for me?
Your own AI can, if you ask it. Bring your own AI: on every plan you can connect Claude, ChatGPT or Grok, and it can read the book, draft scenes into your manuscript and run the checks. What goes in the book is your decision.
How do I connect my AI?
Any plan works. Add the Author connector in your AI and sign in. The steps are in Use with your AI.
Is the AI connection on every plan?
Yes. The connection for your own AI is part of Pro, Premium and Max.
Can my AI overwrite my text?
Not by accident. To replace text a person wrote in the app, the AI must read the scene first and pass its revision. It is also advised to save a version before rewriting prose.
