Now you can write a full eBook in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity... and get the EPUB back in minutes (and what it costs)
Write a full ebook in your AI Assistant
Not sure if this is widely known, but there's an MCP server (Scrivibe) that turns ChatGPT, Calude, Perplexity, Cursor, any AI assistant into a full eBook generator. You type a prompt, the AI calls the tool, and a few minutes later you have a complete, multi-chapter EPUB ready to download... cover included!.
What it actually does:
- You ask your AI something like "Write a 10-chapter self-help book about building focus habits"
- The assistant calls the Scrivibe MCP tool behind the scenes
- It generates a full chapter framework, then writes each chapter with research
- It automatically generates a book cover to go with it
- Your AI handles payment automatically with the MCP and returns a download link when it's done
What it costs: $0.45 per chapter. A 10-chapter book is $4.50, a 12-chapter novel is $5.40. Not free — but compare that to a ghostwriter ($2k–$10k), a Reedsy editor ($1k+), or even just 10 hours of your own time. For a formatted, downloadable EPUB you can actually publish, it's reasonable.
Setup takes about 30 seconds. You have to config your AI Assistant to work with the MCP, adding to your Integrations section or editing the config file. Just five minutes, restart your client and you're done.
The tools it exposes to your AI:

I tried it with "Write a beginner's guide to stoicism in 8 chapters, conversational tone", got back a properly formatted EPUB with a cover in about 9 minutes for $3.60. The chapters are pretty coherent across the whole book, I have to do a few editing job, but there are not just isolated AI outputs stitched together.
