plugbook

Connect Plugbook (teach your AI from the best creators: cited playbooks from YouTube videos, Instagram reels, LinkedIn posts and podcasts) to your AI tools, and use it from the command line.

Needs Node.js 18 or newer. No dependencies.

Connect your AI tools

npx plugbook connect            # asks before changing each tool
npx plugbook connect --dry-run  # shows what it would do

It finds the tools installed on your machine and adds the Plugbook MCP server:

| Tool | How | |---|---| | Claude Code | claude mcp add --transport http --scope user plugbook <url>, then /mcp in Claude Code to sign in | | Codex CLI | codex mcp add plugbook --url <url>, then codex mcp login plugbook | | Gemini CLI | gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user plugbook <url>, then /mcp auth plugbook | | Cursor | "plugbook": { "url": "<url>" } under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json (a .bak copy is kept) | | VS Code | code --add-mcp '{"name":"plugbook","type":"http","url":"<url>"}', or servers.plugbook in the user mcp.json |

The URL comes from the server itself (/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp), so it follows Plugbook to its own domain. Each tool signs you in to Plugbook in the browser (Google or an email code); those calls use your Plugbook plan (the first month is free).

Command line

npx plugbook login                                   # browser sign-in, saves an API key
npx plugbook add https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqy644uOOqM --pack Thumbnails --wait
npx plugbook status --pack Thumbnails
npx plugbook playbook Thumbnails > thumbnails.md
npx plugbook usage

The command line uses an API key, which is pay as you go ($1.00 per hour of video or podcast by the minute, $0.03 per post, $0.05 per playbook build, with free starting credit). The key is stored in ~/.config/plugbook/config.json (mode 600). PLUGBOOK_API_KEY and PLUGBOOK_URL override it. --json prints machine-readable output.
