Yoto MCP server

mcp-yoto

Works with Yoto — connect your Yoto library to Claude and ChatGPT.

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 — 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 — see what's connected, without being able to control them remotely.
• Coming when Yoto allows it: ask what's on a player right now — which card is loaded, battery, volume, nightlight, headphones.

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 — you sign in there, not here. We never see your password. Your Yoto tokens are stored encrypted, and the key is never written to our storage — it's wrapped using your AI app's own token, of which we keep only a hash, so a copy of our database alone decrypts nothing. Two honest caveats: the wrapping method is a fixed constant from the open-source library we use, not a secret unique to this server, so a live client token could decrypt the matching record; and because we run the server, we could in principle change its code to capture tokens in transit. The accurate claim is "nothing readable is stored, and we have no routine means to read it" — not "we are incapable of reading it". 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.

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