Other MCP apps

Many assistants and creative tools are adding MCP support: design tools, meeting notetakers, research browsers, and team chat bots. The settings label varies (Connectors, Tools, Integrations, MCP servers), but the OpenBrain side stays the same.

Universal settings

Field	Value
MCP / server URL	https://YOUR_OPENBRAIN_HOST/mcp
Auth	Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Optional header	X-Organization-Id: YOUR_ORG_UUID

Create the key first: Account & API key.

OAuth-capable desktop apps

If the app offers “Sign in” instead of a pasted token, use MCP OAuth. OpenBrain supports standard OAuth discovery on your host and desktop redirect schemes such as claude:// where configured.

Apps without MCP

If a product only supports plugins or custom GPTs but not MCP:

• Use an app that does support MCP for memory, or
• Have your engineering team use the REST API.

Verify the connection

Ask the assistant to:

1. Call openbrain_health — should report database and embedding checks.
2. memory_ingest a short test fact, then memory_search for it.

If both succeed, everyday recall and save flows should work.

Staying current

MCP adoption changes weekly. If your app’s docs mention a different URL shape (SSE transport, local proxy, etc.), follow the app vendor first, then align authentication with MCP setup (technical).
