Mcp MCP Server

myBrain MCP

myBrain is your personal knowledge base: everything you upload, link, record or write becomes a knowledge graph you can search, explore and reason over. This repository is the public home of the MCP server entry and of the files that teach an AI agent how to use your brain well.

Create the key in myBrain: Settings → Connected Apps → MCP Integrations. Keys carry scopes: mcp:read (search and read tools), mcp:write (add sources, approve, import memories), mcp:orchestrator (ask_mybrain). Keep the trailing slash in the URL.

Connect

Claude Code

claude mcp add mybrain --transport http --url https://mcp.mybrain.ai/mcp/ --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code (mcpServers in the client config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mybrain": {
      "url": "https://mcp.mybrain.ai/mcp/",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Teach your agent to use it

Connecting the server is not enough. The agent also has to know when to search your brain instead of asking you, which tool is the cheap one, and that every write becomes a source pending your approval. Pick what fits your client:

All three assume the server is connected as mybrain (tool names mcp__mybrain__* in Claude Code).

Tools

Read (mcp:read): recall_memories, list_memories, search_user_knowledge, search_passages, read_source_passages, search_knowledge, search_sources, list_sources, explore_node, trace_path, get_knowledge_overview, list_knowledge_fields, get_knowledge_node, get_related_concepts, list_chat_threads, get_chat_history, get_suggested_questions, get_ingestion_status, get_usage_summary.

Write (mcp:write): add_source_text, add_source_url, add_source_youtube, approve_source, import_memories. Writes land as a source pending your approval in myBrain and are processed only after you approve.

Ask (mcp:orchestrator): ask_mybrain, a full answer synthesized over your brain with citations. It is rate limited and spends your plan quota.

Registry

server.json is the manifest published to the official MCP Registry as io.github.mybrain-ai/mcp.

Publishing (maintainers only) needs an Owner of the mybrain-ai org. The interactive mcp-publisher login github only grants the personal namespace (registry#1468); log in with a PAT instead (classic with read:org, or fine-grained with "Organization → Members → Read-only"), on mcp-publisher 1.8.1 or newer:

./mcp-publisher login github --token "$GH_PAT"
./mcp-publisher publish
