Overview

Traditional IP registration and licensing involves expensive legal processes, complex paperwork, and months of negotiation. Existing platforms often lack transparency, have high barriers to entry, and provide limited monetization options for creators.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) revolutionizes this by enabling natural language interaction with complex IP operations. Story.build leverages MCP to make IP protection and monetization as simple as having a conversation, while maintaining professional-grade legal frameworks through Story Protocol's programmable IP licensing system.

Current Features

We have 17+ MCP tools allow you to use AI likes Claude or Cursor.ai for wallet operations, check balances, wrap and unwrap IP tokens, and perform complex IP tasks as follows:

IP Asset Management

• IP asset registration Simply by paste URLs with automatic content parsing
• IP your social works (Instagram, Twitter, ArtStation, Behance, YouTube)
• IPFS upload integration for decentralized content storage via Pinata

License Management

• License term creation that lets AI write it for you
• License term attachment to IP assets for monetization
• License token minting allows anyone to buy license tokens for benefits

🏗️ AI-Powered App Generation

   → Automatically extracts metadata, uploads to IPFS, registers IP asset

2. "Create licensing terms: $200 for commercial use, $50 for personal, 15% royalty on derivatives"
   → AI generates proper PIL license terms with specified conditions

3. "Attach these license terms to my painting and create 1000 license tokens"
   → Makes the IP asset available for licensing with token-based purchasing

4. "Generate a professional showcase platform called 'My Art Studio' with dark theme"

Work with Local Files

When working with local files, especially when using the webapp generation tool to create complete Next.js applications on your machine, you'll need to import an additional MCP server library of filesystem made by the Claude team. Use with:

"filesystem": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
    "${workspaceFolder}"
  ],
  "disabled": false
}

workspaceFolder refers to your working directory. You can provide more than one argument. Subfolders or specific files can then be referenced in your AI prompt.

If you're using Linux and encounter issues during setup, please refer to the troubleshooting section.

Troubleshooting

If you're using Ubuntu or another Linux environment with NVM, you'll need to manually configure the path. Follow these steps:

1. Install Story.build under your current NVM-managed Node.js version:

npm install -g story-build

2. Due to how NVM installs libraries, you may need to use absolute paths in your config. Replace the example values below with your actual username and Node version:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "story-build": {
      "command": "/home/YOUR_NAME/.nvm/versions/node/YOUR_NODE_VERSION/bin/node",
      "args": [
        "/home/YOUR_NAME/.nvm/versions/node/YOUR_NODE_VERSION/bin/story-build",
        "--wallet_private_key=YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY",
        "--story_network=aeneid"
      ]
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop and it should work now.
