01 · Install Brainkb

Claude Code

claude mcp add sensein-brainkb --transport http https://mcp.brainkb.org/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sensein-brainkb": {
      "url": "https://mcp.brainkb.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
