Explain it simply
Amazon KDP lets you publish a book that Amazon prints only when someone buys a copy. A link called EveryGen lets Claude draw the pages. This creator shows the steps. He does not show sales of his own.
Can Claude create coloring books?
Yes, with the EveryGen connector. Claude does not draw the pages by itself in this workflow. You add the EveryGen MCP as a custom connector under Customize, then Connectors, and it generates coloring pages in the chat. You still check every page, build the interior PDF and cover to KDP specs, and tell KDP the images are AI-generated.

How it works
- Check demand on Amazon first. His example is another seller's $12 coloring book with at least 18,000 copies sold, not his own sales.
- In Claude, add a custom connector (Customize, then Connectors) with the EveryGen MCP link, so Claude can make images right in the chat.
- Prompt Claude to generate the pages in one consistent style, then check every page by hand.
- Build the interior PDF and the cover to KDP's specs and publish. Amazon prints and ships each copy when someone buys.
How it went
The reel shows the workflow, not his own results. The 18,000-copy book is someone else's $12 coloring book, used to show demand, not this creator's sales. The video is a lead magnet ("comment Claude for the free guide"). Results for a new book are unknown until it has been listed for a while.
- KDP's paperback royalty page, read Oct 25, 2026, says the royalty equals the royalty rate times the list price, minus printing costs. On Amazon the rate is 50% or 60%, depending on list price and marketplace. Expanded Distribution, if you turn it on, is 40%.
- KDP's content guidelines, read Oct 25, 2026, require you to inform KDP of AI-generated text, images, or translations, including cover and interior images, when you publish or republish. Tool-made images count as AI-generated even after edits. AI-assisted edits of work you created yourself need no disclosure.
Prompt
Setup (from the source): Claude > Customize > Connectors > Add custom
connector > paste the EveryGen MCP URL (everygen.ai/mcp).
Adapted prompt (not from the source):
"Using the EveryGen connector, create 30 black-and-white coloring pages for
an adult coloring book themed [cozy cottage animals]. Thick clean outlines,
no shading or gray fill, white background, one main subject per page,
8.5x11 portrait. Keep the art style identical across all pages. List the
page titles first so I can approve them before you generate."
Before publishing: check every page for broken lines or odd anatomy, build
the interior PDF and cover to KDP's trim and bleed specs, and answer KDP's
AI-generated content question honestly.The connector setup is from the reel. The prompt and the checks before publishing are ours.
Business fit
Who this suits, and how:
Side hustlers with no design skills: publish a themed coloring book without drawing or holding stock.

CreatorsEtsy printable sellers: sell the same page set as a printable download as well as a KDP paperback.
Shopify & ecommerceSmall shops and attractions (museums, gift shops): make a branded coloring book of your products or exhibits to sell at the counter.
