Brainfile › MCP setup
Live todayPull Brainfile inside Claude & Cursor
Brainfile is the memory layer for Claude Code. Now you can connect it as a remote MCP server and pull the free Claude-OS starter files and the weekly freshness feed straight into the tool you already use — no install, no download, no token for the free scope.
Endpoint
https://brainfile.io/mcp
Remote MCP over Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0). No token needed — the free scope is the real on-ramp: the actual starter files and a real freshness feed entry. Ready to go deeper? Start a no-card 30-day trial and pull the full living system.
Tools available
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_pack_contents | See everything Brainfile ships — the free files you can pull over MCP right now, plus the 15 role packs and 5 C-suite officer packs (listed, with the unlock link). |
| get_starter_file(name?) | The real free on-ramp, full text: INTERVIEW-ME.md (first-session interview that personalizes your CLAUDE.md), START-HERE.md, CLAUDE.starter.md. Omit the name for all three. |
| get_freshness_sample | The real weekly freshness feed entry — the same improvements we run on our own six live businesses plus what changed in Claude Code, with how to apply each to your brain/. |
Setup — Claude Desktop / Claude.ai
In Claude.ai: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector — name it Brainfile, URL https://brainfile.io/mcp (no auth header needed). For Claude Desktop, add the remote-server form to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"brainfile": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://brainfile.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Restart Claude, then ask: “List the Brainfile pack contents” or “Get the Brainfile INTERVIEW-ME starter file.”
Setup — Claude Code (CLI)
Add the remote server with one command:
claude mcp add --transport http brainfile https://brainfile.io/mcp
Then in a session: “Use the brainfile MCP to pull the starter files and the latest freshness sample.”
Setup — Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or the project .cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"brainfile": {
"url": "https://brainfile.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Open Cursor Settings → MCP and confirm Brainfile shows its three tools.
Try it in 3 steps
Point any MCP client at https://brainfile.io/mcp. No token for the free scope.
Ask for the starter files and the freshness sample. That’s the real free value — keep it.
Start a no-card 30-day trial to pull the full pack + the newest weekly feed into your project.
Turn generic Claude into a project that remembers you
The MCP free scope hands you the exact starter files. The trial pulls the whole living system — and keeps the weekly freshness feed flowing.

The free MCP scope needs no account and no token, so there is nothing to tie a request to you. Usage is counted in aggregate only (which tools are popular), never per-person, and no personal data is stored when you use the server.
Troubleshooting
- Connection error? Confirm the URL is exactly
https://brainfile.io/mcpand your client is set to the HTTP / remote transport (not stdio). - No tools showing? Restart the client after adding the server; some clients only load MCP config on launch.
- Want the full packs? The role & C-suite packs are delivered via the Brainfile cloud pull on a trial or paid license, not over MCP.
Do I need to pay to use the MCP server?
No. The free scope — the starter files and a real freshness feed entry — needs no token. It’s the honest on-ramp. A trial or paid license unlocks the full living-system pull.
What’s the difference between MCP and the cloud pull?
MCP is the on-demand, in-editor discovery channel — pull the free files and browse the manifest where you already work. The cloud pull writes the full living system (all pack files + weekly brain/freshness/) into your project and keeps it current.
Is the content real or fabricated?
Every byte the server returns is the exact file text Brainfile ships — no marketing filler, no invented capabilities.
