How do I connect BrainTube to Claude or Cursor?

Open /connect in the app to get your MCP URL and API key, then paste it into Claude Desktop's config or Cursor's MCP settings. Your library becomes a tool the AI can call.

A Brain is a focused group of items you can chat with. Dashboard → Brains → New, pick items, give it a name. You can keep it private or share it publicly via a slug.

How does billing work?
