API access
API Access connects StoryMint to external AI tools like Claude Desktop and Cursor through MCP (Model Context Protocol) — so you can ask your AI assistant about your campaigns, personas, visibility data, and content directly from its chat.
Find it under Profile → API Access.
Connect with sign-in (recommended for Claude)
Section titled “Connect with sign-in (recommended for Claude)”Newer clients like Claude support connecting by URL alone:
- Copy the MCP URL shown in the Connect with sign-in box.
- Paste it into your client’s connector/MCP settings.
- The client asks you to sign in to StoryMint and approve access — no API key needed.
Connect with an API key
Section titled “Connect with an API key”For clients configured by file:
-
Enter a key name (e.g. Claude Desktop) and click Generate key. Keys look like
sm_live_…— copy the full key when it’s shown. -
Add the provided JSON block to your MCP client config, replacing
YOUR_API_KEYwith your key:{"mcpServers": {"storymint": {"url": "https://<your-endpoint>/storymint-mcp","headers": { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" }}}}The exact URL for your account is shown on the API Access page.
-
For clients that only accept a single URL field with no headers, use the URL-only variant shown on the page (
…/storymint-mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY).
Managing keys
Section titled “Managing keys”Each key in the list shows its creation date and when it was last used — an easy way to spot unused keys. Revoke any key you no longer need; revoked keys stop working immediately and stay listed with a Revoked badge.
