  2. 2Name it BookWriter and paste the Server URL below.
  3. 3Click Connect → Approve. Claude authorizes over OAuth — there is no token to paste.
  4. 4Start a chat and say “Start a new book” to begin.

The write-a-book loop

Set up the book, write a seed paragraph, hand it off, sharpen, accept — then repeat. Your words are never overwritten.

  1. 1

    Set up the book

    Tell Claude your premise and length. create_book spins up a real project — title, word target, chapter plan — not a blank prompt box.

  2. 2

    Write a seed paragraph

    Type a paragraph or a few lines to open the chapter. Those words are your seed, kept exactly as you wrote them.

  3. 3

    Hand it off

    handoff lets the engine finish the chapter in your voice, built around your words — your sentences are kept verbatim, never overwritten.

  4. 4

    Sharpen, then accept

    sharpen nudges the draft lighter or stronger until it reads right. accept_chapter locks it in and you repeat for the next chapter.
