You already have an AI app you like. Connect it to Inkwell and it can work with your scripts directly: find a scene, check a character’s voice, answer a question about page 62, or, if you allow it, make the change. No copying and pasting pages into a chat.

Before you start

  • Reading is free. Editing needs Quill Pro. Any Inkwell account can connect an app and have it read and search your scripts. Letting it change them needs Quill Pro, which includes the free week for new accounts. See Credits & Billing.
  • Only Library scripts work. The app can see scripts in your Inkwell Library, not files that live only on your device. To use one, choose File → Add to Library first.
  • Use this address: https://mcp.inkwell.app

Connect your app

1

Add Inkwell in your AI app

Paste the address above where the app asks for a server or connector. The steps for each app are below.
2

Sign in to Inkwell

Your browser opens Inkwell. Sign in with your usual account.
3

Check the page, then choose Allow

The page asks Allow the app?, shows where it will return you, and lists what the app will be able to do. Tick Allow reading only if you don’t want it to change your scripts.
This name was chosen by the app. Check where it will return you. Inkwell can’t verify the name an app gives itself, so check the address under it matches the app you just opened. If it doesn’t, or you didn’t start this, choose Cancel.

Claude (claude.ai and desktop)

Open Customize → Connectors, choose + Add, then Add custom connector. Name it Inkwell, paste the address, and follow the sign-in. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner may need to add it first.

Claude Code

In your terminal:
Then type /mcp inside Claude Code and sign in to Inkwell. The consent page says this is an app running on a computer. That’s expected; continue only because you just started it.

ChatGPT

On ChatGPT on the web, open Plugins, choose +, then Add custom MCP server. Paste the address and follow the sign-in. Which plans can do this is up to OpenAI; see their help page if you don’t see the option.

Gemini

On the Gemini web app, open Settings → Connected Apps, find Custom apps, and add a custom app with the address. Google requires a personal Google account in the US, in English. Gemini asks you to confirm every change it makes. On Inkwell’s consent page, Gemini appears under the name Google. That’s normal.

What your AI app can do

Always, once connected:
  • Find your scripts and read them whole, or by page or scene
  • Search for text, including a character’s lines
  • List scenes, characters, locations and notes
  • Check the script for consistency
  • Look at structure and at how each character speaks, and spot lines that sound off-voice
  • Read the title page and logline, and get a link that opens a script in Inkwell
Only if you allow editing, with Quill Pro:
  • Create a new script, with or without text to start from
  • Change lines in a script
  • Add notes
  • Set the logline and character details
  • Move a script to Recently deleted, when you ask it to

How edits work

  • Edits save straight away. There’s no review step and no accept button. Ask for exactly what you want.
  • AI-written text is marked as AI-written in your script.
  • If the script is open, the app briefly takes it. Your editor goes read-only for a moment, then picks up the change, within about a minute or when you switch back to the window. If you were typing at that instant, your last few seconds of typing may be kept as a separate copy script, as when two devices edit at once.
  • There is no undo yet. Inkwell keeps the version from before the app’s edits, but there is no way to restore it from Inkwell yet. Keep a copy of anything you’d hate to lose before you let an app edit it.
  • Deleting is the trash, never for good. If you ask an app to delete a script, it moves to Recently deleted, where you can restore it for 30 days. An app can’t delete anything permanently and can’t delete a script you have open.
So allow editing only when you want it; otherwise tick Allow reading only. To change your mind later, disconnect the app and connect it again.

Privacy

Inkwell doesn’t send your scripts anywhere until an app you connected asks for them. What the app reads is sent to that app’s provider and handled under your agreement with them, not Inkwell’s. Check their terms. Inkwell’s own promise, that we never use your scripts to train AI, covers Inkwell only.

See and disconnect your apps

Open inkwell.app/profile/account and find Connected agents. Each app shows when it was connected, when it was last used, and whether it can read or read and edit. Choose Disconnect and confirm. It loses access to your Library right away.

If something goes wrong

Reading works on any plan; changing a script needs Quill Pro. Upgrade at inkwell.app/pricing and ask again. You don’t need to reconnect.
It’s probably not in your Library. Choose File → Add to Library in Inkwell, then ask again.
Apps can’t open very large scripts, or scripts with a very long single paragraph, cue or heading. Shorten what’s too long, or split the script, then save and try again. For edits, ask the app to make the change in smaller parts.
Either you chose reading only (disconnect and reconnect with editing allowed), or another connected app is editing that script right now (wait a minute), or you took the script back in Inkwell while the edit was being made. In that case the edit wasn’t saved, so ask again.
There are limits to stop a runaway app: 120 requests a minute, 60 changes an hour, and 20 new scripts a day, for each connected app. The app will tell you how long to wait.

Tool reference

For people who like to know. The app picks tools for you; you never need to name them.
