Documentation Overview

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:

Package	What it is
`@braincloud/mcp-helper`	The MCP server itself — `status` / `pull` / `push` / `sync` tools, installable via `npx -y @braincloud/mcp-helper@latest`.
`@braincloud/cloudsync-core`	Host-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.
