Brownmatter MCP server

Which MCP servers are Brownmatter's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry nameai.brownmatter/brainzverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under brownmatter.ai. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

  • Stateanswerschecked 2026-10-29
  • Tools16
  • Server calls itselfbrainz-cloud
  • Server version0.1.0
  • Protocol version2025-06-18

On 2026-10-29 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 598 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Its tools do assemble token-budgeted context briefings for subagent prompts; queue and claim agent tasks wired to specs and code areas, but not invite teammates to browse the same product knowledge graph.
  • Checked on 4 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "assemble token-budgeted context briefings for subagent prompts", the likely first call is get_context.
  • delete_concept, create_task, create_vault change data without a sign-in: anyone with the address can call them.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

  • Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: delete_concept, create_task, create_vault

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • search_concepts

    Search the product knowledge vault by free-text query. Useful when you need product knowledge but don't yet know which concept ids exist. Returns ranked hits (id, title, type, score, snippet) only; get_concept returns one full note and…

  • get_concept

    Fetch one concept by exact id: full markdown body, metadata, and its direct graph neighbors (each with the relation that connects it). Use after search_concepts or when another note wiki-links an id you need in full. The neighbors list…

  • get_related

    Walk the knowledge graph outward from a concept and return everything within `depth` hops, with distance and the edge path that reached it. Use to map the blast radius before changing a feature (what depends on it, what constrains it…

  • get_context

    Assemble a markdown briefing of the concepts most relevant to a query and/or explicit ids, expanded through the graph and trimmed to a token budget. The briefing is self-contained, so it can be handed to another agent or pasted into a…

  • upsert_concept

    Write a concept note into the vault (creates or overwrites the markdown file, then reindexes it). Use to capture new product knowledge discovered during a task — a decision made, a constraint hit, a pattern adopted — so future agents can…

  • delete_concept

    Remove a concept from the vault and all of its outgoing edges. Use to clear a note that is wrong, obsolete, or junk (e.g. a probe or test node that shouldn't be in the graph). Idempotent: deleting an id that doesn't exist is a no-op…

  • link_concepts

    Add a typed, directed edge between two existing concepts by editing the `from` note's frontmatter (e.g. lead-scoring depends_on contact-model). Use when you notice a relationship the vault is missing. Both concepts should already exist…

  • list_concepts

    Enumerate concept metadata (no bodies), optionally filtered by product, type, or a single tag. Use to get the lay of the land in an unfamiliar vault, to audit what exists (e.g. all decisions for a product), or when search vocabulary isn't…

  • vault_stats

    Summarize the vault: counts of concepts and edges, the products and tags in use, a breakdown by concept type, and whether semantic search is available. Useful for gauging how much knowledge is here and which product/tag filters exist.

  • onboard

    Index an existing product's codebase into this vault. {action: "start"} returns the onboarding playbook: a method for surveying the codebase and recording its product knowledge (domains, features, stories, specs, workflows, decisions…

  • sync

    Re-index an onboarded vault after the code changes (drift). {action: "start"} returns the sync playbook: the vault's last_synced_at, a coverage map over the concepts' code_areas, and a method for re-indexing only what changed (you run git…

  • dream

    Dreaming: a scheduled consolidation sweep over this vault. Light stages what changed since the last dream (near-duplicate concepts, finished task outcomes, hygiene counts); REM asks an LLM for proposals; deep applies the ones that pass…

  • list_tasks

    List the vault's work pile: `task`-type concepts with their lifecycle (open/taken/done), oldest first, including who has taken each one (takenBy). Filter by taskStatus or by the domain the tasks are part_of. Read-only; take_task is what…

  • take_task

    Claim a task and get its briefing in one call. Pass an `id` to claim a specific task, or omit it to claim the next open task (oldest open by createdAt then id). Atomically flips the task to "taken" and records takenBy/takenAt; errors if…

  • complete_task

    Mark a task done. Sets taskStatus=done + doneAt and appends `outcome` to the task body as an Outcome section. The result carries a one-line `reminder` that the rest of the graph is not updated automatically.

  • create_task

    Turn a finding into first-class work: creates a `task`-type concept with taskStatus=open and the given relations — part_of a domain, `realizes` stories/features, `governed_by` specs — plus codeAreas pointing at where the work lands. Use…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brainz": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://brainz.brownmatter.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http brownmatter https://brainz.brownmatter.ai/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://brainz.brownmatter.ai/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
