Import my Fountain draft into The Yellow Umbrella, then break scene 3 into shots: wide on the crossing, close-up on Seo-yeon, slow push in on the umbrella.
  • import_script · preview: 14 scenes, Seo-yeon and Min-jun linked
  • import_script · imported at the end of the script
  • create_shots · 3 shots created in scene 3
Done. The draft is in your script, and the previous version is saved in History. Scene 3 now has 3 shots: a wide shot, a close-up on Seo-yeon and a slow push in on the umbrella.

What you can ask

Your assistant works in the project, not next to it

No more copying a scene out of a chat and pasting it back into your editor. The assistant reads and writes your ScreenWeaver project directly, in proper screenplay format.

  • Import a screenplay file

    Final Draft (.fdx), WriterDuet or Fountain. The assistant shows a preview first: scenes, characters, places, and names that look like ones you already have.

  • Bring in a PDF or Word script

    Drop the file in your chat. The assistant reads it and writes it into ScreenWeaver element by element: scene headings, action, cues, dialogue.

  • Turn notes into shots

    A director’s note, a shot list, a few lines typed on a phone. The assistant reads the scene and creates the storyboard shots with framing, camera movement and duration.

  • Search the whole script

    Every line where a character mentions the umbrella, every night exterior, every scene of episode 2. Answers point to the exact scene.

  • Rewrite a scene

    Tighten a dialogue, add an action line, fix a cue. The version before the change goes to History, so you can always go back.

  • Adjust a shot

    Change a shot to a close-up, slow the push in, give it four more seconds. Only the fields you name change.

The tools

Eleven tools, six that read and five that write

Your assistant picks the tool, you just ask. None of these tools spends credits. Viewers of a shared project can use the read tools; changes need owner or editor rights.

Read

  • list_projectsLists the projects you can open, with your role in each.
  • get_project_outlineGives the overview: episodes, scenes in order, counts of shots and story elements.
  • get_sceneReads one scene, element by element, with linked characters and place.
  • search_scriptFinds every line that contains a word or a phrase, filtered by element type if needed.
  • list_entitiesLists your characters, places and objects, with their descriptions.
  • list_shotsLists the storyboard shots in timeline order, with framing, camera, duration and action.

Write

  • import_scriptImports a Final Draft, WriterDuet or Fountain file, after a preview you can check.
  • edit_scriptInserts, updates or deletes script elements. Deletes always need your yes.
  • create_shotsCreates shots in a scene, in order, with framing, camera movement and duration.
  • update_shotChanges the action, framing, camera, duration or continuation of one shot.
  • set_project_aspect_ratioSets the frame shape of the project, once you have chosen it.

You stay in control

Your assistant asks before it touches your writing

The connection is yours, project by project. Every change is visible to your collaborators straight away, and every script change can be undone.

  • You choose all projects or a list when you allow the connection.
  • The script before each edit or import is saved to version History.
  • Deleting lines or replacing a script needs your explicit confirmation.
  • No tool deletes a project, a shot or a story element.
  • Revoke access any time in Connected apps, in your account.
  • Your assistant never sees your password, and sign-in tokens are stored hashed.

Script

The script lands in a real screenplay editor

What your assistant writes arrives as scene headings, action, cues and dialogue, linked to your characters and places. You keep writing in ScreenWeaver, with industry formatting and Final Draft export.
  • Character cues and scene headings linked to your story elements
  • Near-miss names caught before import, like TOBY and TOBIAS
  • Long scripts written in several passes

Storyboard

From a note in the chat to shots in the storyboard

Describe the coverage you want. The assistant reads the scene, then creates the shots in order, each with its action, framing, camera movement and duration, and links continuations.
  • Shots tied to their scene in the screenplay
  • Continuous shots chained to the shot they extend
  • Your collaborators see the shots appear live

FAQ

Questions about the ScreenWeaver MCP

What is the ScreenWeaver MCP server?
It is a remote server that speaks the Model Context Protocol, the standard AI assistants use to work with other apps. Once connected, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP client can read and edit your ScreenWeaver script and storyboard.
Do I need an API key?
No. You sign in with your ScreenWeaver account and allow the assistant, like any app that asks to connect. You can revoke it at any time in Connected apps.
Does it cost credits?
Access to the MCP is reserved for accounts with credits, included in the Auteur and Studio plans. Using the tools spends nothing: they read and write your script and shot list, and none of them consumes credits.
Can it generate storyboard images or video?
Not through the MCP yet. The current tools work on the screenplay and the shots: action, framing, camera, duration. Image and video generation stay in the ScreenWeaver app for now.
Which file formats can it import?
Final Draft (.fdx), WriterDuet and Fountain or any screenplay-formatted text. For a PDF or a Word file, the assistant reads the text and writes it into your script element by element.
Can the assistant delete my work?
It cannot delete a project, a shot or a story element. Deleting script lines or replacing the whole script needs your explicit confirmation, and the previous version is saved in History before every change.
Can it create a new project?
Not yet. Create the project in ScreenWeaver, then ask your assistant to work in it. It lists every project you can open.
Does it work with my collaborators?
Yes. Changes made by the assistant appear live for everyone in the project. On a shared project, viewers can use the read tools, and owners and editors can make changes.
