Guide

Use Record in ChatGPT and Claude.

CAST Record is an independent index of entertainment-technology companies, each profiled from its own website. Connected to your assistant, it answers who does what, who works with whom, and how your plan sits against where the field is moving, with every company linked to its profile.

What it costs

Company lookups and quick search are free and need no account. Researched answers and strategy briefs need a free Record account (Connect): 10 researched answers and 2 strategy briefs a day, no card. For answers tuned to how your team buys, ask about your own evaluator.

Connect it to ChatGPT

  1. In ChatGPT, open the app directory and search for CAST Record, then add it.
  2. Ask it something. Lookups and quick search work straight away. When you ask for a researched answer or a brief, ChatGPT shows a sign-in button: sign in with Google or make a free account by email, press Allow, and the answer continues.

Connect it to Claude

  1. Open CAST Record in Claude’s directory and press Connect.
  2. Lookups and quick search work straight away. For a researched answer or a brief, Claude shows a Connect card: sign in, press Allow, and Claude carries on with the same request.

To add it by hand, choose Add custom connector and enter https://record.the-cast.org/api/mcp/claude.

Already have a Record key?

Use https://record.the-cast.org/api/mcp. When your assistant opens the Record sign-in page, choose Paste it instead. Keys are managed on your account page, where you can also disconnect an assistant.

Your questions and your data

Record keeps the restructured reading of a question, never your words, and a plan you share only as a count of its priorities. Vendors cannot pay to be included or to see who asked about them. The detail is in the privacy policy and the terms.
