Documentation Overview
BrainTube MCP Server
Save once. Query anywhere. BrainTube compiles what you watch, read and listen to — YouTube videos, podcasts, articles, PDFs — into a persistent, searchable knowledge base, and this MCP server exposes it to every MCP-capable AI client over one endpoint.
- Endpoint:
https://mcp.brain-tube.com/mcp(Streamable HTTP) - Version: 3.12.3
- Auth: OAuth 2.0 (authorization code + PKCE) or a BrainTube API key via
X-BrainTube-Tokenheader - Discovery:
/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource·/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
What it does
Your AI can search and cite your own corpus instead of starting every conversation cold:
- Semantic + keyword search over everything you've saved, with citations back to the source (down to video timestamps)
- Ingest notes, articles and web content directly from any MCP client
- Knowledge graph & related-item traversal across your corpus
- Session context — expertise profile, recent activity, and resurfacing tools
- Per-user isolation — JWT-scoped access; you only ever see your own corpus
Quickstart
- Create an account at brain-tube.com and get an API key (or use OAuth from a compatible client).
- Add the server to your MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"braintube": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.brain-tube.com/mcp",
"headers": { "X-BrainTube-Token": "bt_..." }
}
}
}
Works with any MCP-capable client (Claude, Cursor, and others). In clients with OAuth support, just add the endpoint URL and sign in when prompted.
