Connect an AI app, and build by chatting.
SSHOW is officially listed in Claude and ChatGPT. Connect once, and the AI app edits the project you have open in the editor, just as you ask in the chat.

Connect from Claude or ChatGPT
All you need is an SSHOW account. You connect each AI app only once.
-
Open the SSHOW page
If you use Claude, open the Claude link above. If you use ChatGPT, open the ChatGPT link. The SSHOW page inside that AI app opens.
-
Click the connect button
Click the connect button on the SSHOW page. The SSHOW sign-in screen opens in your browser. If you’re already signed in, the next screen appears right away.
-
Allow access
A screen appears asking something like “Let Claude use SSHOW?” If you allow it, the contents of your projects are passed to that AI app. If the account shown isn’t the right one, first click Switch account and sign in with the right account. Click Allow. “Connected” appears, and you go back to the AI app.
Clicking Allow brings up the “Connected” screen. Video: The Let Claude use SSHOW? screen shows the account and two permissions, and clicking Allow brings up Connected. -
Open a project
Open the project you want to work on in the SSHOW editor. You can open it on the web, in the desktop app, or in the tablet app. This connection can’t reach a local file in the desktop app. For that, see Connect through the desktop app’s MCP server.
-
Make a request
Go back to the chat in the AI app and ask something like “In SSHOW, make the title in the first scene bigger.” The first time you ask after opening the editor, the editor shows “An AI app you connected is working in this project.” Changes show in the editor right away.
When the AI app edits the title, a notice appears in the editor and the title gets bigger. Video: As the AI app edits the title on request, the editor shows the notice An AI app you connected is working in this project, and the first scene’s title gets bigger.
To let it edit, keep the project open in the editor
The AI app makes edits through an open editor. With no editor open, it can only read the saved content. It can’t edit or take screenshots. Open the project in an editor signed in with the account you allowed for the AI app, then ask again.
What you can ask an AI app to do
| Task | What the AI app does |
|---|---|
| Look around | Reads scenes, objects, variables, and fonts, and finds objects by name or text. |
| Create and edit | Creates, changes, and deletes objects and scenes. One ⌘Z takes back the edits the AI app applied in one go. If auto-keyframe is on in Animation mode, the changes stay as keyframes at the playhead. |
| Check on screen | Takes screenshots of scenes or objects to see the result. It may also move your view to that scene, or select the objects it changed to show you. |
| Present | Starts, advances, and ends a presentation inside the editor window. You have to turn on full screen yourself. If Share live with viewers is on, the screens of people who opened the play link follow along too. |
| Test interactions | Sends input such as clicks and key presses during a presentation or preview, and reports which interactions ran. If an interaction that runs sends a request or opens a URL, that really happens too. |
| Add media | Brings in images, video, and audio from links. The address must be https, and the site must allow loading from other sites. |
| Create a new project | Creates a blank project in your account and gives you a link to open it. It can edit the project only after you open that link, and the project counts toward your account’s project limit. This works only when you connect through Claude, ChatGPT, or the https://s.show/mcp address, not through the desktop app’s MCP server. |
| What it doesn’t do | It doesn’t undo edits you made. It doesn’t create or edit interactions that send web requests. Write those yourself, following Requests and variables. |
| Full list | Every tool AI apps use is in What AI apps can do. |
Check and revoke connections
Check and revoke connected AI apps in your SSHOW settings.
-
Open Settings
Click your profile picture at the top right of Studio, then click Settings. The Settings page opens.
-
View connected AI apps
Click Devices & apps. In the Connected AI apps list near the bottom, each app shows its permissions, when you connected it, and when it was last used.
The Connected AI apps section in Devices & apps shows the connected app and its permissions. Video: Clicking the Activity tab on the profile page and scrolling down shows a Claude row under Connected AI apps, with its permissions, the date it was authorized, and when it was last used. -
Revoke a connection
Click Disconnect next to the app, then click Disconnect again in the confirmation. The app loses access to SSHOW right away. To use it again, connect from the start in the AI app.
Confirming Disconnect removes the app’s row. Video: Clicking Revoke on the Claude row and then Confirm in Revoke this app’s access? removes the row, and No AI apps connected appears.
Connect from other AI apps
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI apps use other apps’ features. AI apps that can sign in to a remote MCP server connect to SSHOW with a single address.
Add SSHOW’s MCP address, https://s.show/mcp, to the app, and SSHOW opens in your browser. Sign in and click Allow to connect.
| App | How to connect |
|---|---|
| Claude (by address) | Instead of the directory link, add https://s.show/mcp as a custom connector under Connectors in Claude’s settings. |
| Gemini | In Gemini on the web, open Connected apps in settings, and add the address to custom apps for Spark. This works only on accounts that can use custom apps. |
| Claude Code | In a terminal, run "claude mcp add --transport http sshow https://s.show/mcp". Then type /mcp in Claude Code and sign in to SSHOW. |
| Codex | In a terminal, run "codex mcp add sshow --url https://s.show/mcp". When a browser opens, sign in to SSHOW and allow access. This works in the Codex CLI and the IDE extension. |
| Other MCP apps | Apps that can sign in to a remote MCP server, such as VS Code and Gemini CLI, add the address as a remote (HTTP) server. |
| Only on your computer | Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code directly to the SSHOW desktop app. See Connect through the desktop app’s MCP server. |
Connect through the desktop app’s MCP server
The SSHOW desktop app has an MCP server that accepts connections only from inside this computer. Use it when you want to connect an AI app directly without going through s.show, or when you work on local files. It’s off at first. If you only use Claude or ChatGPT, you don’t need to turn it on.
-
Open Settings
In the bar at the very top of the desktop app, click the ⋯ More button, then click Settings. You can also press ⌘,.
-
Turn on the MCP server
Click the AI apps tab and turn on the MCP server switch. “Running · no client requests yet” appears, along with two copy buttons.
Turning on the MCP server brings up “Running” and two copy buttons. Video: Turning on the MCP server switch on the AI apps tab of the desktop app’s Settings window brings up Running · no client requests yet and two copy buttons. -
Paste into the AI app
For Claude Code, run the line you get from Copy CLI command in a terminal. For Claude Desktop or Cursor, put the config you get from Copy JSON config into that app’s MCP settings. Then restart that app. The JSON config runs with npx, so it needs Node.js. Once connected, the status line shows how many requests it has served.
Cloud connector
The cloud connector is the connection between an AI app and your SSHOW account. Claude, ChatGPT, and apps connected through the https://s.show/mcp address all use it. To connect, see Connect from Claude or ChatGPT.
Once you allow it, the AI app works in your project wherever you open it: on the web, in the desktop app, or in the tablet app. If you’re signed in to the desktop app, Open in Claude and Open in ChatGPT on the AI apps tab in Settings also open the official pages.
The AI app sees only projects your account can open. Editing, screenshots, and presenting happen in the editor that’s open now. If several projects are open, it works on the one you worked in most recently, so name any other project when you ask.
With no editor open, the AI app lists the 5 most recently edited projects you created, and reads their saved content. It can’t reach local files in the desktop app. For local files, see Connect through the desktop app’s MCP server.
When you connect, the contents of your projects are passed to that AI app. To disconnect, see Check and revoke connections.
When the connection doesn’t work
-
I asked, so why doesn’t anything change in the editor?
If the editor is in a background tab, the browser may pause that tab. Bring the editor tab to the front and ask again. -
I opened the project. Why does the AI app say it isn’t open?
This happens when the account you allowed for the AI app differs from the one signed in to the editor. Open the editor with the same account, or revoke the connection and connect again with that account. Local files opened in the desktop app don’t show either. For those, see Connect through the desktop app’s MCP server. -
Why can’t it edit a project I opened in a phone browser?
In a browser 768 px wide or less, the viewer opens instead of the editor, so there’s nothing to edit. Open the project on a computer or in the SSHOW tablet app. -
Can I undo edits an AI app made?
Press ⌘Z in the editor to take back the edits the AI app applied in one go. You can also ask the AI app to undo them, but it won’t if you’ve edited something since. -
Why does the AI app ask me to reconnect?
Either you disconnected it in Settings, or it expired after more than 30 days without use. Connect SSHOW again from the AI app.
