In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Narracore Screenplay FormatterFormat this rough screenplay into a print-ready PDF:"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Narracore Screenplay Formatter
Turn rough screenplay text into professionally structured screenplay format and a print-ready PDF — from any MCP-compatible AI.
Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP): https://mcp.narracore.app/mcp
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini and any MCP-compatible client. Paste a rough script, get back structured blocks (scenes, characters, parentheticals, dialogue, transitions), layout diagnostics, and a typeset PDF identical to narracore.cn — fixed typewriter grid, embedded Sarasa Mono / Courier Prime fonts, Chinese and English (or mixed) tracks.
Beyond formatting, the same endpoint carries a film-breakdown protocol and a story-continuity protocol for AI agents (14 tools in total — see below).
Try it free: one free credit per day, no account, no key.
Need more? $1.49 for 10 credits, $5.99 for 50 — buy here. One credit covers one screenplay for 24 hours across the screenplay tools, or one film analysis, or one story project. Failures are never charged; retries of the same request never double-charge.
Example: rough input → formatted PDF (also Chinese → 中文 PDF).

Tools
Fourteen tools over one endpoint, in three billing units (see Paid credits).
Screenplay
Tool | What it does |
| Parse rough text (or typed blocks) → structured blocks → layout diagnostics → print-ready PDF (free |
| Deterministic stats: scene list with parsed headings, character table, dialogue ratio, action density |
| Scene shootability diagnosis — the calling AI cites evidence, the server validates and scores 0-100 ( |
| Blocks ↔ Fountain (plain-text screenplay interchange format), both directions |
| Screenplay → structured video-prompt scaffolds: ~15s segments, ≤4 shots each, character registry, dialogue pre-filled verbatim, style guidance (checklist / editable presets / your own note) |
| Free deterministic checks of finished video prompts against the screenplay: dialogue-verbatim lock, cut-point handoff, shared-content rules (violations) + eyeline/rhetoric/conflict advisories |
One credit covers one screenplay for 24 hours across all of the above (they share a content fingerprint — send the same script, or the blocks you got back, to several tools and it charges once).
Film breakdown (the video never leaves your machine)
Your agent watches the footage locally with its own vision model; this server supplies the protocol, the deterministic validation and the compilation.
Tool | What it does |
| Free — the Film Contract by section: pipeline and entities, the long-take window protocol, observability levels, closed vocabularies + alias table, observation and reasoning prompt templates, reference ffmpeg recipes |
| Free — cut timestamps → the analysis topology every Film Protocol agent shares: numbered base shots, long-take windows, ≤20s / ≤8-shot analysis units |
| Free preflight — schema, closed vocabularies, cross-references, window topology, provenance shape; returns a lossless |
| Billed: 1 credit per film analysis — authoritative validation → long-take merge (a 96s take is ONE shot in every statistic) → exact aggregates → labelled deterministic heuristics → PDF report with a 24h signed link |
Story continuity
For AI agents carrying a long-running story (novel, interactive fiction, tabletop campaign, worldbuilding) across context windows. The full text and the returned StoryState stay with you; the server stores nothing.
Tool | What it does |
| Free — split a conversation (verbatim user/assistant turns) into stable, hash-anchored units bound to your current state |
| Billed: 1 credit per story project / 24h — validate and apply YOUR extraction: selectors must quote exact unit text, and the returned |
| Free — render the state you supply into a model-independent zh/en handoff document for a successor writer/AI |
Account
Tool | What it does |
| Show remaining credits for a license key, plus recent usage and the purchase link |
Structured input (typed blocks), diagnostics codes, and header-based auth are documented in the tool descriptions themselves — your AI already knows how to use them.
Paid credits (optional)
The free daily credit works with no key. To buy more:
Buy a pack at narracore.app/checkout ($1.49 / 10 credits, $5.99 / 50 credits).
You get a license key like
NRC-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.Give it to your AI (paste it in chat, or set header
Authorization: Bearer NRC-…in your client). Top-ups land on the same key.
What one credit covers (three independent units — a credit spent on one is not a credit in another):
Unit | Charged once per | Tools |
Screenplay | one screenplay, for 24 hours |
|
Film analysis | one |
|
Story project | one story project, for 24 hours |
|
Free tier: one credit per day per visitor, any of the three. Failures are never charged; retrying the same request_id never double-charges.
Details: docs/pricing.md · Refund within 7 days if unused.
Privacy
Your text is used only to produce your result. PDFs are deleted after 24 hours. License keys are stored hashed. Videos are never uploaded for film breakdowns. No training, no accounts, no newsletters. → docs/privacy.md
