Use Meminto Stories with ChatGPT, Codex, or Claude (MCP)
Meminto Stories connects your books to ChatGPT, Codex, and Claude. You can start writing, organize ideas, improve passages, import an existing manuscript when available, and check a book before printing. You sign in on Meminto's own page; the OAuth connection does not share your Meminto password with the AI provider.
What the plugin can help you do
The full plugin includes seven writing skills. Describe what you want in ordinary language; you do not need to remember the skill names.
Writing skill | How it helps | Example request |
|---|---|---|
Start a book | Choose a manageable next step, answer one guided question, or begin free writing. | “Help me start my blank book. I have no idea what to write and do not want a questionnaire.” |
Shape a book | Find a central thread and suggest a flexible structure for scattered material. | “Help me organize these ideas into chapters. Keep the plan provisional.” |
Writing coach | Explain a writing technique and offer a small exercise. | “Help me write a more vivid opening without inventing any memories.” |
Rewrite a story | Improve clarity, length, tone, or transitions while preserving facts and voice. | “Make this passage clearer and more concise, inspired by Hemingway. Show me the proposal before saving.” |
Review a book | Look for gaps, unclear chronology, inconsistent voice, or a missing central thread. | “Review the continuity of my travel stories and cite the passages. Do not change anything.” |
Import a manuscript | Prepare a private upload and a proposed structure for an existing file. | “Import my Word manuscript, suggest chapters, and show me the complete plan first.” |
Check print readiness | Separate technical blockers, warnings, and optional improvements. | “Check my book before printing and explain what needs attention.” |
You can also ask: “Show me my Meminto books and their progress.”
These workflows support Meminto's different book themes, your own factual topics, and fiction when you explicitly ask for it. A blank book does not need a questionnaire, an idea, or a complete chapter plan before you start. The assistant should preserve uncertain memories and distinguish suggestions from facts.
The assistant may suggest relevant help during a conversation. Suggestions and writing exercises do not authorize it to save changes to your book.
Plugin or MCP connector: what is the difference?
The MCP connector gives your AI assistant tools to access the Meminto books your account is allowed to use. The full plugin adds the seven writing skills that guide those workflows.
Adding only the MCP server address does not install the bundled skills. Available actions also depend on the connected server, your book permissions, and your package.
Before you connect
To read or save book content, you need a Meminto account, an existing book, and permission to work on that book. Planning and writing exercises can begin in the conversation before you connect.
The official Meminto MCP server address is:
https://app.meminto.com/mcp/v1/mcp.php
Public directory availability depends on the release status in each platform. If Meminto Stories is not listed yet, use a Meminto-provided test plugin or a custom MCP connection where your client supports it. A submitted or approved listing is not necessarily publicly available.
Your AI plan, app version, and workspace administrator may affect whether you can install plugins or add connectors.
Connect from ChatGPT or Codex
When Meminto Stories is available to your account:
- Open the Plugins browser in ChatGPT or a supported Codex client.
- Find Meminto Stories and choose Install.
- Follow the connection prompt.
- Sign in on app.meminto.com, review the requested permissions, and approve the connection.
- Start a new chat or session and ask: “Show me my Meminto books.”
For a manual or test setup, use the official MCP server address above and follow your client's custom MCP connection instructions. Use Meminto's OAuth sign-in rather than pasting a password or token into the chat.
See the official OpenAI plugin guide for supported clients and current setup steps.
Connect from Claude
Install the full plugin
When Meminto Stories is available in Claude's directory:
- Open Customize → Plugins → Discover.
- Select Meminto Stories, then Add.
- Complete the Meminto connection when prompted and sign in on app.meminto.com.
- Start a conversation and describe what you want to do.
Plugin availability depends on your Claude plan and workspace settings. See Use plugins in Claude.
Add the MCP connector manually
- Open Customize → Connectors in Claude or Claude Desktop.
- Select Add → Custom → Web.
- Name the connector Meminto Stories and enter the official MCP server address above.
- Follow the detected OAuth sign-in flow. Review the permissions and authorize your Meminto account.
- In a conversation, use the + or / menu, open Connectors, and enable Meminto Stories if needed.
If a Meminto Stories connector listing is available, you can connect through that listing instead of entering the address manually.
The manual connector provides Meminto tools; it does not install the seven bundled skills. For current menus and account requirements, see Use connectors in Claude.
Review changes before saving
When you ask the assistant to rewrite existing text, it prepares a concrete preview. Read the proposal and approve that specific version before it is saved. If the proposal changes or someone edits the passage meanwhile, ask for a fresh preview.
Revisions should preserve your facts, narrator, uncertainty, and attached media. Do not approve a proposal that invents details, changes the meaning, or loses an image. Previous replaced text is retained through answer version history so it can be reviewed and restored.
Editorial feedback, optional structure, and coaching exercises should stay in the conversation unless you explicitly ask to save an approved change.
Import an existing manuscript, when available
Import requires an enabled import feature and the owner of an existing writable book. It adds approved content to that book; it does not create a new book or place an order.
Supported formats are Word (.docx), UTF-8 TXT, and Markdown, with digital PDF as a separately enabled option. The upload form shows the formats currently accepted. The maximum source file size is 20 MB; additional conversion and book-capacity limits apply.
You do not need to format your Word document with headings first. The assistant can suggest chapters and sections from ordinary paragraphs.
- Ask the assistant to prepare an import for the correct book.
- Open its private Meminto upload link and upload the original manuscript. The link is single-use and valid for 30 minutes. Do not share it or include it in a support screenshot.
- Wait for conversion. Attaching a file to the AI chat alone does not upload it to Meminto.
- Review the complete converted text, proposed structure, excluded material, and image choices. Ask for changes to the grouping if needed.
- Approve the specific reviewed plan before it is added to your book.
- Check the saved result in Meminto and run a technical print check.
Changes to the plan require a fresh review and approval. Import appends new chapters and sections after existing content. Matching titles do not automatically merge content into existing chapters, and repeating an import can create duplicates.
Text, pictures, and video links
Supported embedded pictures can be added to your media gallery and, where the conversion supports it, placed with the corresponding text. PDF pictures may need placement from the gallery rather than automatically appearing at their original text positions. Review picture selection, repeated images, captions, resolution, and position before approving.
PDF line wrapping is reflowed into paragraphs rather than copied as a line break after every printed line. Check the paragraph boundaries in the preview. Exact Word or PDF page layout is not reproduced.
Scanned or image-only PDFs need text recognition (OCR) or a text-based source before import; this importer does not perform OCR. Some PDF image encodings, masks, or color spaces need a supported export. For Word documents with tracked changes, comments, text boxes, or complex objects, use a clean copy and inspect the preview carefully.
Recognized public YouTube links can receive video/QR references. Other links, including Vimeo and private videos, remain text. Linked videos and remote images are not downloaded. Check access and playback yourself, including any start-time offset.
Import previews expire. If a link or preview has expired, ask the assistant for the appropriate fresh upload or review step. Expiry of temporary import material does not remove text or gallery images already saved to your book. Cancelling an import does not undo content already imported.
If an interrupted import needs manual review, stop retrying and contact support with its job identifier and receipt. Leave out manuscript text, passwords, tokens, and private upload links.
Optional private writing notes
When available and with your agreement, the assistant can save a book compass, style preferences, or editorial notes outside printed book content. These notes belong to your user/book combination and are not automatically shared with other contributors. You can ask to clear them.
“Private” does not mean hidden from your connected AI provider: the assistant can request these notes as part of its work. If saved-note tools are unavailable, keep a copyable handoff in the conversation instead of assuming the assistant will remember across chats.
What the plugin does not do
- It does not create a new book from scratch or switch its template. Set up the destination book in Meminto first.
- It does not delete an entire book.
- It does not place orders or take payments. Ordering stays in Meminto.
- It does not record audio or video itself.
- It cannot bypass your role, book status, or package limits. Mini Books may accept additions only while their chapter/question capacity allows it; an upgrade may be needed.
- It does not guarantee a finished layout or print-ready book simply because an import completed.
Understand the print check
The technical print check distinguishes:
- Blockers: technical issues that must be resolved before printing.
- Warnings: issues to inspect, such as pictures that may print poorly.
- Optional improvements: suggestions you can choose to follow.
Editorial feedback about structure or writing style is separate from technical validation. Unused questions are not automatically an obligation to write more. Check your final layout and any requested watermarked preview before ordering in Meminto.
Permissions
Meminto may request four kinds of access:
Permission | What it allows |
|---|---|
Read | View accessible books, chapters, questions, answers, media information, and progress. |
Suggest | Analyze a book and suggest questions or improvements without changing it. |
Preview | Prepare an answer change and show the difference without saving it. |
Write | Save or reorganize content, manage media, and perform other supported changes you request. |
The connector can reach only books your signed-in Meminto account is allowed to use. Your role, package capacity, and the book's state may block an action even when you granted write access. Creating an import is restricted to the book owner.
Disconnect and revoke access
Disconnecting does not delete your books or Meminto account.
ChatGPT and Codex
Open Meminto Stories in the plugin browser and choose Uninstall plugin where available. Separately connected MCP integrations may remain connected: review the client's connection settings and disconnect Meminto Stories there as well.
Claude
To disconnect the service, open Customize → Connectors, select Meminto Stories, and use the available disconnect/remove action. If you installed the full plugin, remove it separately from Customize → Plugins. Workspace-managed installations may require your administrator.
Revoke every active Meminto connector token
To request revocation of every active Meminto MCP token for your account, contact Meminto Helpdesk with the subject Revoke AI connector access. Never include your password or an OAuth token.
Removing a connection or plugin does not erase conversations or files already held by your AI provider. Use that provider's data controls where needed.
Delete book or account data
- Mini Book: follow How to delete your Mini Book. Paid books require a support request.
- Whole account: follow How to delete your Meminto account. Remove project contributors first, as that guide describes.
- Other requests: contact Meminto Helpdesk.
Deletion is permanent. Download anything you want to keep before confirming.
Troubleshooting
Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
Meminto Stories is missing from the directory | The listing may not be public yet or may be unavailable for your plan/workspace. Use a Meminto-provided test setup or the supported custom connection route. |
No books, or the wrong books, appear | Check which Meminto account is connected. Disconnect and reconnect with the account that owns or collaborates on the intended book. |
Writing skills are missing | Check that you installed the full plugin, not only the MCP connector, and start a new chat/session if required. |
An action is not allowed | Check your role, package capacity, and whether the book is expired, finished, or blocked for editing. |
The assistant suggests a question you already answered | Ask it to check the current outline and choose an unanswered question in the chapter you want to work on. |
The book changed while you were editing | Read the current content again and request a fresh preview or import review before approving. |
Import is unavailable | Ask the assistant to check the destination book's ownership, editability, capacity, and enabled import formats. |
An upload link expired | Ask for a fresh private link. Do not reuse or share an old one. |
An import is still processing | Ask for its current status. Do not keep uploading the same file or approving the plan again. Contact support if processing fails or needs review. |
A picture is missing, misplaced, or low resolution | Inspect the conversion/gallery and ask for a corrected plan before approval. A low-resolution warning needs a better original or an explicit decision about print quality. |
A change looks wrong | Do not approve it. Contact support with the relevant error or request identifier, leaving out private content and credentials. |
Privacy
Connecting Meminto is optional. The tools your assistant invokes determine which accessible book data is returned. Depending on your request, that can include story text, media information, previous answer versions, collaborator information, saved working notes, and converted manuscript content.
That data is returned to the AI client you connected. Your selected provider can therefore process it under its own terms, privacy notice, account settings, and retention controls. A complete manuscript review can return substantial content across several tool responses. Do not assume that only anonymous snippets are shared or that removing the plugin deletes existing AI conversations.
The OAuth sign-in does not provide your Meminto password to the AI provider. Do not paste passwords, tokens, or private upload links into support tickets.
See the Meminto Privacy Policy for Meminto's privacy information and contact details. For questions about connector data handling, use those contact details or Meminto Helpdesk.
Report a security vulnerability
Contact Meminto Helpdesk with the subject Security vulnerability — Meminto AI connector. Include the affected client/version, date and time with time zone, reproduction steps, expected result, and potential impact.
Remove passwords, tokens, private upload links, and personal book content from screenshots and reports. Do not test another person's account or book. If you suspect account compromise, disconnect the connector and mark the report urgent.
