  • describe_workflows

    Return the default workflow map and current project context for this server. Call this first in most sessions and again whenever you are unsure what to do next. Treat sidecars, frontmatter, Scrivener-derived fields, generated exports, and backups by their named compatibility, review, or recovery roles; use outcome workflows for current SQLite-canonical structure and relationship changes. Never wri

  • get_runtime_config

    Show the active runtime paths and capabilities for this server instance (server version, sync dir, database path, writability, permission diagnostics, and git availability). Use this to verify which manuscript location is currently connected.

What the publisher says

From the Writing MCP repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

mcp-writing

An MCP service for AI-assisted reasoning and editing on long-form fiction projects.

Designed to work with OpenClaw but compatible with any MCP-capable AI gateway.

Quick launch

For local stdio MCP clients, run the published package directly:

WRITING_SYNC_DIR=/path/to/sync-dir DB_PATH=./writing.db npx -y @hanna84/mcp-writing

The CLI wrapper defaults to stdio transport and adds the Node 22 SQLite flag automatically when needed.

VS Code extension

For VS Code-native setup flows (including prose styleguide setup), use:

  • hannasdev/mcp-writing-vscode

What it does

Instead of feeding an entire manuscript to an AI and hoping it fits in the context window, mcp-writing builds a structured index from your scene files. The AI queries that index first — finding relevant characters, beats, and loglines — then loads only the specific prose it needs.

Current status:

  • Core platform complete: Metadata-first analysis, SQLite-canonical structural and relationship metadata, compatibility sidecar maintenance, AI-assisted prose editing with confirmation + git history, review bundles, and Scrivener Direct extraction are all implemented.
  • Recently completed: Human Input Forgiveness made selected request-boundary inputs more forgiving, clarified keyword metadata search boundaries, and recorded temp-fixture replay validation while preserving stable canonical IDs.
  • Active development: No initiative is currently selected.
  • Deferred backlog: OpenClaw integration, client-agnostic setup, divisions, and embeddings search.
  • Ideas and open questions: tracked separately so future exploration does not distort the active roadmap.

Who it is for

  • Novelists and writing teams working on long manuscripts with many scenes, characters, and continuity constraints.
  • AI-assisted editing workflows where you want targeted context retrieval instead of full-manuscript prompting.
  • Projects that need traceable, reversible edits with metadata that stays synchronized as drafts evolve.
