Connect once.
Keep writing.
Sign into the same InkDraft sign-in method and account on iPad and when connecting your agent. Your chatbot account can use a different email.
Start on your iPad
- Get InkDraft from the App Store.
- Open the app, sign in, and activate or restore InkDraft Cloud in Account & connections.
- Open or create a document, add your work, and wait for Synced. Only the open document is shared.
- Choose ChatGPT or Claude below. Each connection is independent.
ChatGPT
Connect with ChatGPT- Open InkDraft's ChatGPT listing using the button above. No directory search is needed.
- Install InkDraft and connect your account when prompted.
- Use the same InkDraft sign-in method and account as your iPad and allow paper reading.
- Start a new chat and ask: Read my entire InkDraft document.
If the ChatGPT app opens the general Plugins page instead, open this help page in Safari and use the button there. If installed tools are unavailable, start a new chat and select InkDraft with @. Workspace policies can affect availability.
Claude
Connect with Claude- Open the InkDraft listing above and choose Connect.
- Sign in with the same InkDraft sign-in method and account as your iPad and allow paper reading.
- Open a Claude conversation and enable InkDraft.
No custom server address or access key is needed. Claude Code can use your account connection when signed into the same Claude subscription account. Use /mcp to check it. Other login modes can require separate setup.
Other agents
Add this remote MCP server using Streamable HTTP and OAuth, then sign into the same InkDraft account as your iPad:
https://inkdraft-accounts-565660877538.us-central1.run.app/mcpLeave bearer-token and header fields empty.
Local Codex and standalone coding tools
This configures the local tool, not ChatGPT Chat. To connect Codex:
codex mcp add inkdraft --url https://inkdraft-accounts-565660877538.us-central1.run.app/mcp
codex mcp login inkdraft --scopes paper.read,offline_accessComplete browser consent. If it reports insufficient scope, reconnect with paper.read permission and restart the connection. For Claude Code, use its MCP settings or add the same HTTP URL and finish sign-in through /mcp.
Read the whole document
Ask your agent: Read my entire InkDraft document, including unchanged pages. The get_full_document tool returns every page in order. For longer documents, the agent must follow each nextCursor until complete is true. Changed-page reads are for updates after the full document has been read.
Check it works
Open a document on iPad and wait for Synced. Ask your agent to read the current document and report its revision. Change one page, wait for sync, and ask for only the pages changed since that revision.
If the agent says InkDraft is unavailable, check that it is enabled in that exact interface. Searching uploaded files does not connect MCP. If the account is empty, check your InkDraft sign-in, open a document, and wait for sync on iPad.
The connector exposes get_document, get_full_document, get_pages, get_document_changes, and get_profile. Agents receive the original image; handwriting interpretation depends on the agent. No InkDraft skill file is required.
