Connect AI assistants

Samskrift speaks MCP, so Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools can open your projects, edit files, compile, and even join the project chat — signed in as you, with every change landing in version history like any other edit.

Why agents work well in Samskrift

Your MCP link

Paste this link into any AI assistant that supports MCP connectors. Using Claude? Connect from Samskrift's listing in the Claude Connectors Directory instead.

How to connect

Pick your AI tool for the exact steps.

1
Open Samskrift in Claude's Connectors Directory
Or, on claude.ai or in the Claude app, go to Customize → Connectors, browse the directory and search for “Samskrift”.
Open the Samskrift listing
2
Click Connect
3
Sign in to Samskrift and approve
Claude opens a Samskrift sign-in — log in with your usual account and click Approve.
4
Use it in a chat
Click the + button in the message box, choose Connectors and turn Samskrift on, then try “List my Samskrift projects”.

Alternative: add it as a custom connector

If Samskrift doesn't show up in the directory (some organization settings hide directory connectors, or if the listing is ever paused), add the link yourself:

1
Open Claude's connector settings
On claude.ai or in the Claude app, go to Customize → Connectors. (On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner can add it for everyone under Organization settings → Connectors.)
2
Click “Add custom connector”
3
Name it Samskrift and paste the link
https://samskrift.com/mcp
4
Click Add and finish sign-in
Claude opens a Samskrift sign-in — log in with your usual account and approve access. Then turn it on from the + button in a chat as above.

What connected agents can do

Projects

List your projects, create new ones (blank or from a zip), rename them, switch LaTeX engines, set the main file, and manage labels.

Files

Read any file, make precise edits, create, rename, and delete files, upload figures, and search across the whole project.

Build & history

Compile and get parsed error reports, download the finished PDF, and browse version history — any file can be restored as of any edit.

Collaboration

Post in project chat, add and resolve inline comments, create share links, and invite collaborators.

Good to know

An assistant signs in as you — it can only reach projects your account can, and you can disconnect it from your AI tool's settings at any time.
Agent edits flow through the same collaborative engine as the web editor: collaborators see them live, and every change is in version history, so anything can be reverted.
Chat messages an agent sends post under your name, so it's asked to sign them (e.g. “[agent]”) so co-authors know a machine wrote them.
