Co-Author AI Setup Guide: Claude, ChatGPT & Gemini

The Project Barbell Master Book is a collaborative, Git-backed single source of truth. You can read, search, leave review comments, and commit surgical edits directly from Claude App, ChatGPT App, Gemini / Antigravity CLI, or this web interface. Every edit is automatically committed to Git under your name and synced to GitHub.

  2. Set Name to Project Barbell Master Book.
  3. Paste your personal Remote MCP Server URL below and leave Authentication set to None:

Using Claude Code CLI in Terminal? Run this single command:

claude mcp add --transport http barbell-book https://barbell-book.wjkoh.com/u/scampbell@torbrokerage.com/mcp

Option B: ChatGPT Desktop & ChatGPT Web App (chatgpt.com)

ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, and Enterprise support remote MCP connectors directly inside the standard ChatGPT conversation window (no Custom GPT required).

Option C: Gemini App, Gemini CLI & Antigravity CLI

To connect Gemini CLI or Antigravity CLI, add this block to ~/.gemini/settings.json (or ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "barbell-book": { "httpUrl": "https://barbell-book.wjkoh.com/u/scampbell@torbrokerage.com/mcp" } } }

Direct HTTP / cURL (Works from Any Environment or Script): Every tool is also a standard JSON HTTP endpoint:

curl -s -X POST https://barbell-book.wjkoh.com/u/scampbell@torbrokerage.com/book.v1.BookService/GetTableOfContents \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
