# Overview

What Storylane MCP is, what it can do across Demo Suite and RepX, and which plans include it.

## Introduction

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI clients to your Storylane account. Build and personalize demos, assemble Hubs, and read what buyers are doing, without leaving your AI client.

### Get started in three steps

1. Add Storylane as a custom connector in your AI client.
2. Sign in with OAuth and approve access.
3. Paste a prompt.

Start with [Connect your AI](broken://pages/7j5DllZ4boQogUXkazmZ#connect-your-ai-client) client or Connect a custom client if you are using Cursor, n8n, or your own automation.

### What you can do

**With Demo Suite**

* **Create demos** from screenshots, screen recordings, or a URL.
* **Personalize at scale** with account-specific variants and tracked links.
* **Assemble Hubs** for a prospect from demos you already have.
* **Publish and distribute** with themes, labels, CTAs, and share links.
* **Measure** engagement, leads, and the accounts behind anonymous sessions.

**With RepX**

* **See what buyers ask** across every agent conversation, ranked by volume.
* **Find high-intent sessions** and the companies behind them.
* **Track performance** across sessions, qualification, and leads.

### FAQs

#### **👉 How can I reduce token usage?**

Most token usage comes from two places: the tool definitions your AI client loads, and the data each tool returns. To keep usage low:

* **Enable only the tools you need.** Each enabled tool adds to every request. Most clients let you turn off individual tools in the connector settings.
* **Be specific.** Name the demo, date range, or account in your prompt. "Analytics for \[demo name], last 30 days" costs far less than "How are my demos doing?", which makes the agent list and check everything.
* **Use the lightest tool.** For example, use `get_demo_status` instead of `get_demo` when you only need to know if processing is done.
* **Narrow large queries.** Add filters, date ranges, or result limits to `list_demos`, `get_leads`, `get_accounts`, and analytics requests.
* **Start a new chat for each task.** Long conversations resend earlier tool results with every message.
* **Use a smaller model for routine tasks.** Pulling leads or creating links doesn't need your most capable model.

#### 👉 Do I need technical skills?

No. After the connector is configured, use plain-language prompts.

#### 👉 Which AI clients are supported?

Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot are supported.

#### 👉 Can an agent access another workspace?

No. Operations use the active workspace. Use `switch_workspace` when you have access to multiple workspaces.

#### 👉 Is my content secure?

MCP access uses OAuth. Your AI client never receives your Storylane password.

You can revoke access from **Settings → Connectors**. Agents only access workspace data allowed by your permissions.

#### 👉 How do `personalise_demo` and link variables differ?

`personalise_demo` creates a new demo variant with AI-adapted content.

`create_link` adds dynamic viewer variables to a tracked URL. It does not modify the demo.

#### 👉 Does MCP support Hubs?

You can list, create and edit hubs and read their structure.

#### 👉 Can I automate MCP workflows?

Yes. Trigger workflows with CRM events, Zapier, or other MCP-connected tools.

#### 👉 Can I apply a theme to a demo via MCP?

Yes. Use `update_demo_tool` with a `theme_id`. You can get the available theme IDs from `list_themes`.

#### **👉** Can I create alerts and access deals via MCP?

Yes. `list_alerts`, `create_alert`, and `update_alert` manage your alerts. `list_crm_deals`, `list_crm_pipelines`, and `list_crm_stages` access your CRM deal data. Both require the relevant features to be enabled in your workspace.

#### 👉 How long does it take to process the changes?

{% hint style="info" %}
Async tools return immediately with a job ID. Use `get_demo_status` to check when processing is complete:

* `convert_url_to_demo` — 10–20 minutes
* `convert_video_to_demo` — within 10 minutes
* `convert_images_to_demo` / `personalise_demo` / `create_hub` — within 5 minutes
  {% endhint %}

#### 👉 Which plan includes MCP?

MCP is available on Starter plan and above. Check **Settings → Integrations → MCP** for access.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.storylane.io/mcp/storylane-mcp/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
