What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI tools connect to external data sources. Animus provides an MCP server that gives your AI assistant direct access to your saved content library.

​
How it works

  1. Add the Animus MCP server URL to your editor or AI tool
  2. Sign in with your Animus account when prompted (OAuth)
  3. Query your saved content through natural language
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 — your editor handles the sign-in flow automatically. No API keys needed.
