MCP setup
How to connect an AI agent to Claude Code or Cursor
Add the SyntheticBrew MCP server to your editor and your coding agent does the rest — it provisions the agent, grounds it in your documents, and hands back a ready-to-embed snippet.
Add the MCP server to your coding agent
Your coding agent connects to the SyntheticBrew MCP server and provisions a ready-to-embed agent for you — no dashboard clicking.
Create a free account at /register, then run the command for your agent below. Your browser opens to sign in — there is no token to copy.
A browser opens to sign in — no token to copy.
$ claude mcp add --transport http syntheticbrew https://app.syntheticbrew.ai/api/v1/mcp/rpc $ claude mcp login syntheticbrew A browser opens to sign in — no token to copy.
$ codex mcp add syntheticbrew --url https://app.syntheticbrew.ai/api/v1/mcp/rpc $ codex mcp login syntheticbrew Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json — Cursor opens a browser to sign in.
{ "mcpServers": { "syntheticbrew": { "type": "http", "url": "https://app.syntheticbrew.ai/api/v1/mcp/rpc" } } } VS Code opens a browser to sign in.
$ code --add-mcp '{"name":"syntheticbrew","type":"http","url":"https://app.syntheticbrew.ai/api/v1/mcp/rpc"}' mcpServers config for any MCP client that supports OAuth.
{ "mcpServers": { "syntheticbrew": { "type": "http", "url": "https://app.syntheticbrew.ai/api/v1/mcp/rpc" } } } What happens next
- Add the MCP server with the command above.
- Run the login command — a browser opens; create an account or sign in and approve.
- Tell your agent what you need. It provisions the agent, configures it, and hands you the embed snippet.
Total time: under 5 minutes. No config files.

What your agent can do over MCP
What can a coding agent provision over MCP?
The MCP server exposes the same operations as the Admin Dashboard, so your coding agent can build and change a working agent without leaving the editor.
- Create an agent, pick its model, and write its instructions.
- Upload documents and build the knowledge base it answers from.
- Register MCP servers and scope which tools the agent may call.
- Add specialists, delegation, and confirmation gates.
- Return the widget embed snippet and the REST endpoint for your app.
Every change it makes is configuration you can review in the dashboard and export to your own repository.
