What to do once Tolstoy is connected

Use your AI client for real Tolstoy actions: creative, widgets, media, and performance context.

Create product creative

Turn a launch brief or product page into product-image concepts, video ideas, and ad variants inside Tolstoy Studio.

Build from approved media

Find shoppable videos, product tags, and widget placements from Tolstoy Library before planning the next campaign.

Read performance context

Ask what is working across recent widgets and creative so the next test starts from evidence, not a blank prompt.

Set it up in 3 steps

1

Open Codex CLI

Start from the storefront, lifecycle, or campaign implementation task you already have in Codex CLI.

2

Add Tolstoy MCP

Add Tolstoy as an MCP server in your Codex CLI configuration. Name it Tolstoy and use:

3

Ship with the right context

Use Codex CLI on a real launch, PDP update, or creative test. The strongest prompts include the product, channel, and the decision your team needs to make.

Try: "Use Tolstoy to pull product-video context for this PDP change and write the creative requirements for the widget we should test."
