For parents

What you can do once it's connected:

  • See every card in your Yoto library (your own MYO cards and your family library) from inside Claude or ChatGPT.

  • Ask your AI assistant to build a new card โ€” turn an audio file, a story, or a set of tracks into a card on your Yoto.

  • Add tracks to a card you've already made, without opening the Yoto app.

  • Search and set pixel-art icons for your cards and chapters.

  • Check on your family's Yoto players โ€” see what's connected, without being able to control them remotely.

What you can say

Once it's connected, just ask in plain English:

  • "Make a bedtime card from these three files and give each track a moon icon."

  • "Show me every card in my Yoto library."

  • "Add this new song to the 'Car Songs' card."

  • "Find a pixel-art icon of a dinosaur for chapter two."

  • "Which of my kids' Yoto players are online right now?"

How sign-in works

You paste one link into your AI app. That takes you to Yoto's own sign-in page โ€” you sign in there, not here. We never see your password. Your Yoto tokens are stored encrypted with a key that only your AI app holds, so we cannot read them, even with full access to our own storage. You can revoke access at any time from your Yoto account settings, which disconnects this instantly. See PRIVACY.md for the full, plain-English explanation.

๐Ÿšง Rebuild in progress (Sept 2026). The command-line version works today; the paste-one-link version for claude.ai / ChatGPT lands in ~2 weeks.

For developers

Connect

๐Ÿšง Rebuild in progress (September 2026). The npx route below works today. The paste-one-link route for claude.ai and ChatGPT goes live once the website address ships โ€” expected September 2026.

claude.ai โ€” Add the Yoto connector (or Settings โ†’ Connectors โ†’ Add custom connector, prefilled).

ChatGPT โ€” Settings โ†’ Connectors โ†’ Advanced โ†’ Developer mode โ†’ Add connector โ†’ paste https://mcp-yoto.danpillay87.workers.dev/mcp.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http yoto https://mcp-yoto.danpillay87.workers.dev/mcp

Power users โ€” run it locally today:

npx -y mcp-yoto

Architecture

One Cloudflare Worker runs the official MCP TypeScript SDK v2 (stateless Streamable HTTP) behind Cloudflare's own @cloudflare/workers-oauth-provider โ€” the reference implementation for remote-MCP auth, so this project writes only the small Yoto-specific upstream handler, not its own OAuth server. The same core (Yoto client + tool definitions) also powers npx mcp-yoto, a local stdio server for direct use from Claude Code, Cursor, or any stdio-based MCP client. Requested scopes are profile offline_access user:content:view user:content:manage user:icons:manage family:library:view family:devices:view โ€” deliberately no family:devices:control or family:devices:manage, which is what keeps this app eligible for Yoto's Verified listing.

Prior art

This isn't the first Yoto MCP server. bperkinspdx/yoto-mcp-server is the origin this project was forked from and is rebuilt on top of. tmcinerney/yoto-mcp is another independent Yoto MCP server on npm, built separately.
