Target Reference Server

Nimbus BCI Overview

The Nimbus BCI MCP server lets AI agents build, validate, run, and analyze BCI and EEG pipelines. It connects to either a local Nimbus backend or the hosted deployment, supporting uploaded EEG data, saved Studio projects, experiment campaigns, and live sessions. Agents can also inspect figures, train models, compare results, export BIDS data, and calculate grouped statistics. Use it when an agent needs to operate Nimbus workflows rather than only inspect EEG files.

Primary Use Cases for Nimbus BCI:

Build and validate EEG pipelines from agent instructions
Train models on uploaded data or MOABB packs
Run experiment campaigns across pipeline configurations
Monitor live EEG sessions and signal telemetry
