ChatGPT plug-in and MCP server

Start your book in ChatGPT

MyOwnChildbook has its own plug-in in ChatGPT, called MyOwnChildbook, and a public MCP server for Claude and other AI assistants. Tell ChatGPT what the occasion is, pick a story and an illustration style, and you get a link that opens our form with all of that already filled in.

Open MyOwnChildbook in ChatGPT

Opens in a new tab. Plug-ins only work when you are logged in to ChatGPT.

How it works

Add the plug-in

In ChatGPT, search the plug-in list for "MyOwnChildbook" and add it, or use the button above.
Choose an occasion and a style

Ask for ideas. ChatGPT shows you the occasions, the story lines and our illustration styles, each with an example picture.
Open the link and finish here

You get a link to our form with your choices already in place. Add your child's name and photo, look through the free preview of the whole book and order the hardcover.

Things you could ask

Once the plug-in is added, just talk to ChatGPT the way you normally would. For example:

Which birthday stories does MyOwnChildbook have?
Show me the illustration styles for a bedtime story book.
Make a book plan for a Christmas present for my granddaughter, in a soft watercolour style.

For Claude and other assistants: MCP server

The plug-in runs on an open MCP server (Model Context Protocol, the standard way for AI assistants to use outside tools). You need no account and no key. Any assistant that can add a remote MCP server can use it.

MCP server address

https://mcp.myownchildbook.com/mcp

In Claude, for example, add a custom connector and paste this address. It works the same way in other assistants that support remote MCP servers.

Three tools, all read-only

list_occasions lists the occasions and the story lines you can choose from.
show_styles shows the illustration styles, each with an example picture.
create_book_plan gives a link to the form on our site in your language, with the occasion, story line and style already filled in.

Your child's details stay out of the chat

The plug-in never asks for your child's name, age or photo, and it stores nothing. You only fill those in afterwards, on our own website.
