Transport: stdio
Category: Search & AI memory

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "br8n": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@br8n/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add br8n -- npx -y @br8n/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "br8n": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@br8n/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "br8n": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@br8n/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Br8n MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

br8n

Owned, portable working memory. A plain-files brain template and a tiny MCP server that lets any model read it.

Everything your team has taught a chat tool about how the work gets done is sitting inside somebody else's login. Switch tools and you're a stranger again. This repo is the other direction: the memory lives in files you own, and the model is just a reader.

br8n is the AI delivery practice of Branded Mayhem Collective. This is the open part: the file layout and the door. The hosted install adds retrieval, governance, and someone running it with you — on the same files, which never change shape. br8n.io

What's here

template/brain/ — the brain layout: how-we-work/, decisions/, exceptions/, handoffs/, voice/. Markdown only. One file, one thing. Write the *why*, so the model can push back later.
src/ — an MCP server (stdio) with three tools: brain_list, brain_read, brain_search. Search returns file + line so answers cite their source. No vectors, no index, no account. Grep is the point.

Use it

npx @br8n/mcp ~/my-brain                         # MCP server on stdio (or: npm i -g @br8n/mcp && br8n ~/my-brain)

template: git clone https://github.com/Branded-Mayhem-Collective-LLC/br8n && cp -r br8n/template/brain ~/my-brain

Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor (any MCP client) — add:

{ "mcpServers": { "br8n": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@br8n/mcp", "/path/to/my-brain"] } } }

Then ask the model something the brain knows. It answers from the file and names it. Switch the model; same answer, same file.

Why files

Portable. cp -r brain/ new-machine/ is the whole migration. If you can't do that, you don't own it.
Inspectable. You can read every byte the model reads.
Model-agnostic. The folder doesn't care which model is on the other side of MCP.
It can push back. A decision stored with its *why* lets a model say "this conflicts with what you decided in March." A chat history can't.

The method is public on purpose

The layout and this server are MIT. What br8n charges for is hands on a real operation: eliciting what's actually in people's heads, shaping retrieval for the role, running it, and keeping it current. If you'd rather do it yourself, start here — most people should. The free first course is at br8n.io/lab.

Publishing (maintainers)

Configure npm's trusted publisher once for @br8n/mcp:

Publisher: GitHub Actions
Organization: Branded-Mayhem-Collective-LLC
Repository: br8n
Workflow: publish.yml
Allowed action: npm publish

Publish the version already committed to main, then update the official MCP Registry:

gh workflow run publish.yml --ref main -f version=0.1.2

gh run watch --exit-status

mcp-publisher login github mcp-publisher publish

The GitHub-hosted workflow uses npm trusted publishing (OIDC), so it requires no long-lived npm token. Change the version argument for future releases.
