Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package @braincloud/mcp-helper
Claude Code 
claude mcp add braincloud-mcp-helper -- npx -y @braincloud/mcp-helper@6.0.0
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "braincloud-mcp-helper": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",

braincloud-mcp-helper

A local, trustless MCP server that lets AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …) sync brainCloud cloud-code scripts to and from your filesystem and git repo.

It never authenticates to brainCloud on its own and stores no credentials. Every Builder API call is driven by a short-lived, app-scoped ticket that the AI obtains from the hosted braincloud-mcp's getSyncTicket tool and passes in — script content flows helper → Builder API directly, never through the AI's context.

Packages

This is an npm workspace with two packages:

PackageWhat it is
@braincloud/mcp-helperThe MCP server itself — status / pull / push / sync tools, installable via npx -y @braincloud/mcp-helper@latest.
@braincloud/cloudsync-coreHost-agnostic sync/format logic (the .ccjs / .bcsync / .bcsync.local on-disk contract) shared with the VS Code extension.

See each package's README for tool details, configuration, and the on-disk format.
