The most common complaint about writing with a chat app: every session starts from nothing, so writers paste the setting, the cast and the timeline again and again.
The problem
A chat app that does not know the book gives notes that contradict it. Copying the bible into each conversation is slow and goes stale the moment you edit.
How Scenaloom handles it
- Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another app that speaks MCP from its connector settings, and approve it on Scenaloom's consent screen.
- Story tools let it read the facts that change over time, the setups ledger and the latest continuity report, list authorship records, add a setup (your ledger marks it as added by AI) and quote the price of a continuity run.
- Edits to your writing wait for your approval in Scenaloom. Spending stays inside your monthly cap, and you can disconnect the app in Settings at any time.

The result
Your AI app answers from the book as it is today. What it can do stays narrow on purpose: it cannot run a continuity check, sign or withdraw a record, dismiss findings or delete anything.
Questions
Which apps can connect?
Apps that support remote MCP servers, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code.
Can an app spend my credits?
