Tolstoy exposes its platform to AI clients over the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the open standard for connecting assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor to external tools. Connect once, then run your shoppable video workspace right from chat: generate content, manage your media library, build and publish shoppable widgets, tag products, and track ad performance. There are two remote MCP servers, both served over Streamable HTTP and secured with OAuth 2.1 + PKCE. There are no API keys to paste — your client runs the OAuth sign-in on first connect, and the connection is bound to the Tolstoy workspace you authorize with.

Step-by-step setup for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Tolstoy Library tools

Assets, shoppable widgets, products, stores, and ads.

Tolstoy Studio tools

Generate and iterate on videos and images.

MCP Registry

Published as io.github.GoTolstoy/library and /studio.

Authentication

OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, backed by Amazon Cognito. Clients discover the flow via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata at each server’s /.well-known endpoints — there is nothing to configure beyond adding the server URL and signing in.
Each connection operates on the Tolstoy workspace you sign in with. Accounts with multiple stores can target any connected store from the widget, product, and ads tools.

App-aware clients

In clients that support interactive MCP apps (ChatGPT, Claude), tool results render as inline views — a shoppable-widget card grid, asset previews, and widget detail with the actual videos a widget shows. Plain clients receive the same data as text, so every tool works everywhere.

Get started

The fastest path is the published Tolstoy Library app in ChatGPT — search “Tolstoy Library” and click Connect. For every other client, see Connect a client. Per-client setup is also available in the Tolstoy platform under Settings → MCP.
