# The Brains
**The smartest brains on earth, in an MCP.**
Founders, CEOs and investors, each turned into a searchable MCP server built from their talks, essays and posts. 
Add one to Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or Codex. Every answer cites its source.

## Use a brain in 30 seconds
Every brain is a public MCP URL: `https://mcp.brains.ceo/ /mcp`. To get every brain behind one connector, use `https://mcp.brains.ceo/mcp` (tools: `list_brains`, `search_brains`, `list_sources`).
 [code] 
 [code] 
In **Cursor**, **Claude.ai / Claude Desktop** and **ChatGPT**, add it as a custom MCP server or connector with the same URL. Each brain page on brains.ceo has one-click buttons and step-by-step instructions for each client.
The first time you connect, your client opens a short sign-in: enter your email and the 6-digit code we send you. It's free, and there are no passwords.
Then just ask: *"How would Levels price this?"* or *"What would Paul Graham say about my idea?"*
