It works the same way as the Studio: plan the story, draw the panels, and publish to the community if you like. - No API key needed. When you connect, just sign in with your GenToon account and click “Allow.” - Comics you make are saved as projects in your GenToon account, so you can keep editing them in the Studio later. - Planning the story (the scenario) is free. Just like in the Studio, credits are used when images are drawn — but if you don’t pick any of your saved characters, the AI creates new ones while planning the story, and each new character costs 13 credits right away. ## Connector address Add the address below in your AI app. You can also copy it from the [MCP connection guide](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/mcp) page. **https://www.gentoon.ai/api/mcp** ![The MCP connection guide page — copy the address and pick your AI app.](https://pub-6e5feb091fa740fa80f3a5a12a895d23.r2.dev/help-center/shots/en/mcp-page.d536d253.1x.webp) *The [MCP connection guide](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/mcp) page — copy the address and pick your AI app.* ## Connecting to Claude 1. The [MCP connection guide](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/mcp) page opens with the ChatGPT tab selected. Switch to the Claude tab and click **Add to Claude**. When Claude opens, click “Continue” and then “Add.” On Team and Enterprise plans, an organization Owner has to add it first. ![The MCP connection guide page opens with the ChatGPT tab selected.

Instead of the button in step 1, you can add it yourself — do only one of the two. In Claude, go to Customize › Connectors › “Add” › “Add custom connector,” enter GenToon as the name and the connector address above as the URL, and leave Advanced settings empty. Either way, Claude’s free plan allows only one custom connector, so remove any other custom connector first. 3. Click “Connect” and a GenToon sign-in window opens. Sign in and allow access. 4. Turn on GenToon under “+” › Connectors in the chat, then ask something like “Make a 4-panel Instagram comic about lunch break with GenToon.” ## Connecting to ChatGPT 1. On ChatGPT on the web (chatgpt.com), turn on Developer mode in settings. 2. At chatgpt.com/plugins, click “Create app.” Name it GenToon, enter the connector address above as the MCP server URL, and choose OAuth for authentication. Then finish in this order: “Scan Tools” → sign in to GenToon → “Create.” The **Open chatgpt.com/plugins** link on the ChatGPT tab of the [MCP connection guide](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/mcp) page opens it directly. 3. In a new chat, choose GenToon under “+” › Developer mode and make your request. > **Note:** Right now, ChatGPT can only connect through Developer mode on the web. For work accounts, an admin has to enable it first. ## Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and others On the [MCP connection guide](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/mcp) page, choose your app’s tab to find one-click buttons such as **Add to Cursor** and **Add to VS Code**. The Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI tabs appear when you click “CLI” at the top right of the connection card; after running the register command, also do the sign-in step shown on the tab. For apps not on the list, add the address from the **Other** tab to that app’s MCP settings and choose OAuth for authentication. In any app, when a browser window opens, sign in with GenToon and allow access. ## Managing and removing connections 1. Go to **Account** › **My Account** and find **Connected apps**. Each connected app gets one row, with the date it was last used. Each time you connect from another device or reconnect, that app gets one more connection. ![Go to Account › My Account and find Connected apps.

In the row of the app you want to remove, click **Disconnect**, then click **Disconnect** again in the confirmation window. If that app has several connections, the button reads **Disconnect all** and removes all of that app’s connections at once. To remove just one, click **Show each connection**, then **Disconnect** next to that connection. Other apps stay connected, so remove each app separately. ![In the row of the app you want to remove, click Disconnect, then click Disconnect again in the confirmation window.

To fully cut off access, be sure to click **Disconnect** in **Connected apps**. ## Good to know > **Note:** Each image uses 13 credits in Standard mode and 25 credits in Pro mode. In AI apps, each panel is drawn as its own image, so a 4-panel comic costs four images (if you ask for several panels in one image, that image counts once). Creating a new character, or fitting a saved character to a new art style, also costs 13 credits per character. The estimated credits usually appear in the card or the chat before you start, and what you spent shows up in the chat results and in your [credit history](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/credits-and-billing/credit-history). > **Tip:** Once you connect on Claude for the web or desktop, it also works in the Claude mobile app on the same account. ## FAQ **I connected it, but GenToon doesn’t respond.** If GenToon doesn’t respond, the connector is usually turned off in that chat. Turn on the GenToon connector in the chat. In ChatGPT, try calling it again with @GenToon. **Where are the comics I made in the AI app?** Comics made in AI apps are saved as projects in **Projects** in your GenToon account. Open them in the Studio to keep editing. **Could someone else use my account through this?** The connector only works in apps where you signed in and allowed access. You can remove a connection at any time in **Connected apps**. ## Related articles - [Agent chat basics](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/agent/agent-basics) - [How credits work](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/credits-and-billing/how-credits-work) - [Publish to the community](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/export-and-share/publish-to-community)
