MCP server

AfterLib’s MCP gives you a set of tools that let Claude and ChatGPT search AfterLib, open ads, pages, and Website Library records, and save useful finds to your collections during a normal chat.

You do not need to install anything, run commands, or copy a secret key into Claude or ChatGPT. AfterLib runs the MCP server for you. You only need the connection link from the Developer Portal and your normal AfterLib sign-in.

Connect

1. Open the AfterLib Developer Portal.
2. Copy the MCP server link.
3. Add the link in Claude Desktop or ChatGPT desktop.
4. Sign in to AfterLib when the app asks you to connect.
5. Ask the assistant: Who am I in AfterLib?

If the assistant can show your AfterLib account, including the connected name or email address when available, the connection is working. After that, ask it to check your credit status before any larger searches.

Reads that return ads or pages can use account credits. Website Library tools are no-credit in this phase. Checking credits, listing collections, and saving an item to a collection do not use viewing credits.

Claude Desktop

Use Claude Desktop when you want Claude to search AfterLib, inspect ads or pages, and save useful finds to your collections during a chat.

1. Open Claude Desktop.
2. Add a new connector using the MCP server link from the Developer Portal.
3. Sign in to AfterLib in the browser window Claude opens.
4. Return to Claude and ask: Who am I in AfterLib?

After that first check, ask Claude to check your credit status, then start with a small search before asking for larger research tasks.

ChatGPT desktop

Use ChatGPT desktop when you want ChatGPT to search AfterLib, inspect ads or pages, and save useful finds to your collections during a chat.

1. Open ChatGPT desktop.
2. Add the MCP server link from the Developer Portal.
3. Sign in to AfterLib when ChatGPT asks you to connect.
4. Ask: Who am I in AfterLib?
