API, MCP & using Typetone in your AI tools

Connect Typetone to your own systems with the API, or use it directly inside Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Cursor and Codex via MCP.

Typetone isn’t just a web app — you can plug its audits, compliance checks and content tools into your own systems and into the AI assistants your team already uses. There are two ways in: the API and the MCP server.

The API

The API lets your own code talk to Typetone. Use it to build content and compliance checks into your existing workflows — for example, auditing a page automatically before it goes live, or pulling audit results into your own dashboard.

To get started:

  1. Generate an API key from your organization settings.
  2. Store it securely as an environment variable — never commit it to code or share it in plain text.
  3. Call Typetone from your app or automation using that key.

The in-app developer docs list the available endpoints and examples. If you’re planning a bigger integration, get in touch and we’ll help you scope it.

MCP: use Typetone inside AI assistants

MCP (the Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to outside tools. Typetone runs an MCP server, so you can give your AI assistant direct access to Typetone and then just ask it to do things — “audit this page against our brand rules,” “check this ad for compliance issues” — in plain language.

Because MCP is a shared standard, it works with a growing list of tools, including:

  • Claude (desktop, Claude Code and other MCP-enabled clients)
  • Cursor and Codex for developers
  • Assistants like ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot

The general pattern is the same everywhere: add Typetone as a connector/MCP server in your tool, authenticate with your Typetone account or key, and the assistant can then run Typetone actions for you.

Setup differs slightly per tool, and new clients are added regularly. For the exact connection details for your assistant, check the developer docs in the app or contact us — we’ll get you connected.

Which should I use?

  • Building it into your own product or automation? Use the API.
  • Want to drive Typetone from an AI assistant in plain language? Use MCP.

Plenty of teams use both together.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the API and MCP?

The API is for your own code and automations — you call Typetone from your systems. MCP lets AI assistants (like Claude, Cursor or Codex) talk to Typetone directly, so you can ask them to run audits or checks in plain language. Many teams use both.

Where do I get an API key?

Generate a key from your organization settings in the app. Keep it secret — treat it like a password and store it in your environment variables, never in shared code.

Which AI tools are supported?

Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude, Cursor and Codex — and you can reach Typetone from assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. Exact setup differs per tool; contact us and we'll point you to the right connection details.
