For AI Assistants

Connect an AI to the Archive

The archive exposes a standard MCP server, so assistants like ChatGPT or Claude can read every published entry, search what already exists, and check for duplicates directly — no web reader needed. Access requires signing in with an archive account; the assistant only ever acts as the person who approved it.

1. 01

   Open the profile menu, then Settings → Connectors.

2. 02

   Choose "Add custom connector".

3. 03

   Name it "Cainan Barnett — A Living Archive" and paste the server URL below.

4. 04

   Select Add, then approve access on the consent page that opens (sign in with your archive account first if asked).

Note for the archive owner: after the archive ships changes, refresh the connector in your AI client — assistants cache the tool list.
