Showrunner MCP · Use Showrunner from your AI apps

Showrunner has an MCP server

https://api.typo.inc/mcp/me

It's a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). It signs in with OAuth in your browser and supports dynamic client registration, so there's no token, API key or app to set up. Add the URL to any app that supports MCP and sign in to Showrunner when it asks.

Once connected, the app works as you in the one workspace you pick when you sign in. It can search and read your chats, notes, tasks, files and transcripts, and it can send messages, write notes, manage tasks and folders, and upload files. Anything it makes shows in Showrunner as made by you through that app.

Add it to your app

Claude: Add to Claude opens Settings › Connectors with Showrunner filled in. Choose Add, then Connect and sign in. It then works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile.
ChatGPT: In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps, choose Showrunner, then Connect and sign in.
Cursor: Add to Cursor, then sign in when Cursor asks.
VS Code: Add to VS Code, then sign in when VS Code asks.
Any other app: Give it the URL above as a remote MCP server. It finds the browser sign-in on its own.

Terminal

Each command adds Showrunner for every project, not only the folder you run it in.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user showrunner https://api.typo.inc/mcp/me

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and choose Showrunner to sign in.

Codex

codex mcp add showrunner --url https://api.typo.inc/mcp/me && codex mcp login showrunner

The login step opens your browser to sign in.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user showrunner https://api.typo.inc/mcp/me

Then run /mcp auth showrunner in Gemini CLI to sign in.

Plugin and extension

Instead of the commands above, Claude Code and Gemini CLI can install Showrunner from its public plugin repo.

Claude Code plugin

/plugin marketplace add Bylines/showrunner-mcp

Then /plugin install showrunner@showrunner, and run /mcp to sign in. It adds the server and a skill with usage guidance.

Gemini CLI extension

gemini extensions install https://github.com/Bylines/showrunner-mcp

Then run /mcp auth showrunner in Gemini CLI to sign in.

Signing in from another computer

Over SSH, in a dev container, in Codespaces or in WSL, your browser can't reach the terminal directly. Open the sign-in link in any browser, including your phone's, and tick "is running on another computer" before you choose Allow. Showrunner then gives you a command to copy. Run it on the computer where the terminal app is running, within five minutes, and the sign-in finishes there.

Scripts and non-interactive runs

claude -p, codex exec and scripted Gemini CLI runs reuse the sign-in from an earlier interactive session and refresh it without a browser. On a new machine, sign in once interactively first.

Disconnecting

To end an app's access, disconnect it in Showrunner under Settings › Agents › Showrunner MCP. Removing the server in the app (for example claude mcp remove showrunner) only forgets it on that computer; the sign-in stays valid in Showrunner until you disconnect it there. If an app shows Showrunner as needing sign-in, run its sign-in step again.

Privacy

An app you connect sees what you can see in that workspace, and handles it under its own privacy policy. See our privacy policy for details. Questions go to team@typo.inc.
