VerifiedStreamable HTTPWeb executableKnowledge & MemoryDeveloper Tools

Overview

AI-generated overview

Brainfile is a remote MCP server that gives an assistant access to free starter files and a sample freshness feed for a Claude Code memory layer.

What you can do
Fetch the free-tier starter files in full text, including an interview file, an orientation file and a starter CLAUDE.md template, without an account. List the pack manifest of v1 pattern files, each with a one-line description. Retrieve a sample entry from the weekly freshness feed that ships with the pack.
When to use it
Useful when setting up a Claude Code project that should carry context between sessions and you want to preview the starter files and pattern list before deciding on the paid pack.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at brainfile.io over streamable HTTP; no account, API key, environment variable or header is declared for the free-tier tools.
Before you install
The free tools are a preview; the newest freshness updates are described as requiring a paid license. Content is third-party material, so review files before adopting them into your project.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Brainfile in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.brainfile%2Fbrainfile/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

get_starter_file

Get the REAL Brainfile free-tier starter files — the on-ramp that turns generic Claude into a project that remembers you. Full text, no account needed. Files: INTERVIEW-ME.md (first-session interview that personalizes your CLAUDE.md), START-HERE.md (orientation + first prompt), CLAUDE.starter.md (starter operating-system playbook). Omit 'name' to get all three.

Parametersname

list_pack_contents

List the full Brainfile pack manifest: the v1 pattern files (Autopilot protocol, never-empty backlog, never-forgets ledger, interview onboarding, end-of-run brief template, conversation-history pattern, freshness feed — each with a one-line description; starter files fetchable right here over MCP, the rest via the free no-card trial pull), plus the paid role packs (15) — listed but locked, with the unlock URL. Use this to see everything Brainfile ships before starting a trial.

Takes no parameters.

get_freshness_sample

Get the real Brainfile freshness feed entry that ships in the pack — the weekly 'living system' update (the same improvements we run on our own six live businesses + what changed in Claude Code, with how to apply each to your brain/). This is the retention mechanic; a paid license keeps the newest feed flowing.

Takes no parameters.
