# Proseify — the book-writing engine for AI agents

Proseify block mark

**Proseify** is a hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that turns Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any MCP client into a disciplined book-writing machine — grounded in real literature instead of generic model defaults. Give it a one-line premise. It picks the right genre recipe, pulls model passages from a curated public-domain library, plans the outline, drafts chapter by chapter, and scores its own work. You get a manuscript you can actually edit, not 40 pages of "it was a dark and stormy night." **🔗 Website & key issuance:** https://proseify.xyz [![Listed on mcpservers.org](https://mcpservers.org/badge.svg)](https://mcpservers.org/servers/dionisselami/proseify-mcp) [![M8ven Score](https://m8ven.ai/badge/mcp/dionisselami/proseify-mcp)](https://m8ven.ai/mcp/dionisselami-proseify-mcp-1eqk6e) --- ## Why genre-before-prose matters Most "AI writes a book" tools generate immediately. The output reads the same way regardless of what you asked for — the same sentence lengths, the same dialogue rhythm, the same endings. Proseify flips the order: ``` premise → genre recipe → corpus passages → outline → chapter drafts → scored revision ``` The genre recipe is derived from the actual tradition — pacing beats, dialogue ratio, sentence-length profile, how endings are handled. The agent reads it *before* touching prose. That single ordering decision is the difference between a horror book that reads like the gothic tradition and a horror book that reads like ChatGPT. ## Tools exposed | Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | `list_genres` | 11 genres, growing library of books (theatre, horror, romance, adventure, literary, and more) | | `search_corpus` | Full-text search across all chapters, with FTS5 syntax (quotes, AND/OR/NOT, wildcards) | | `get_genre_recipe` | Pacing beats, dialogue ratio, and stylistic anchors derived from the tradition | | `get_style_references` | Model passages from books matching a genre — the register you're aiming for | | `plan_book` | Full chapter-by-chapter outline from a one-line premise | | `write_book` | The one-shot flow: plan → draft → evaluate, all in one session | | `evaluate_book` | Scores a drafted book against genre benchmarks so weak chapters get revised | …plus supporting tools for chapter retrieval and corpus metadata. ## Setup (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and friends) ### 1. Get a key Sign in at https://proseify.xyz (Google / GitHub / magic link), pick a plan. Monthly from **$9**, or one-time **Founding Lifetime**. Your key is issued the moment the purchase clears. ### 2. Connect the MCP server ```json { "mcpServers": { "proseify": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.proseify.xyz/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY" } } } } ``` (Use the client's native MCP config format for your agent — see [the Agent SDK page](https://proseify.xyz/agent) for a filled-in block.) ### 3. Install the skill ```bash npx skills add https://proseify.xyz --skill anti-prose-slop -y ``` The `anti-prose-slop` skill gives the agent the *writing workflow* — genre recipe first, corpus grounding, chapter discipline, and a per-chapter anti-slop editing pass — instead of just raw tool access. ### 4. Write Tell the agent a premise: > "I want a gothic horror novel about a lighthouse keeper finding a body that > shouldn't exist. 32 chapters. Budget 50,000 words." The agent picks the right recipe, searches the corpus for register, plans, drafts, scores, and revises. You edit what it returns. --- ## The corpus **a growing library of books / 11 genres**, drawn from Project Gutenberg and similar public-domain collections — all verified against their original headers, so there is no copyright ambiguity anywhere in the library. Commercial use of output built on it is safe. A partial list: works from Austen, Stevenson, Hugo,conrad, Verne, the Brontës, Shelley, gothic masters, and more — selected, grouped by genre, and indexed for search. --- ## Why "anti-prose-slop"? Because the failure mode of AI-written prose isn't bad grammar — models are word-perfect. It's *sameness*: "seemed to", "began to", stacked adverbs, repeated sentence constructions, filter words, dialogue-as-exposition, chapter openings that always start with weather. The skill that ships with Proseify has a concrete per-chapter checklist against each of these, and `evaluate_book` scores the result against genre norms so the agent can self-revise rather than ship its first pass. --- ## Pricing | Plan | Price | Requests | |------|-------|----------| | Starter | $9/mo | 120 req/min | | Pro | $19/mo | 400 req/min | | Studio | $49/mo | 9999 req/min | | Founding Lifetime | one-time | 400 req/min, all genres | Cancel any time from [your account](https://proseify.xyz/account) (opens our payment provider's customer portal, signed in as you).
