# One-Click MCP Config: Connect Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot in 60 Seconds

###### A step-by-step guide to connecting your AI coding assistant to Aiqbee Brains via MCP. One line of config gives your AI persistent, shared memory about your codebase.

If you use AI coding assistants, you know the drill. New session, blank slate. Paste your README. Explain the architecture. Describe your coding conventions. Fifteen minutes later you can ask your actual question. Next day, same thing.

Aiqbee fixes this with MCP (Model Context Protocol). Add one line of config to your AI tool and it connects to your team's knowledge base. Architecture decisions, coding standards, API specs, runbooks: all there from the first prompt.

##### What Is MCP?

MCP is an open standard (backed by Anthropic) that lets AI tools call structured APIs on external servers. Aiqbee runs an MCP server with 17+ tools for searching, reading, creating, and managing knowledge. Once your AI assistant connects, it can search your Brains, fetch neurons, trace relationships between concepts, and update knowledge when decisions change.

##### Setup for Claude Code

Create a .mcp.json file in your project root:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aiqbee": {
      "url": "https://mcp.aiqbee.com/brain/YOUR\_BRAIN\_ID/mcp"
    }
  }
}

That's it. Next time Claude Code starts, it will discover the Aiqbee MCP server and have access to your Brain's full knowledge graph.

##### Setup for Cursor

Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aiqbee": {
      "url": "https://mcp.aiqbee.com/brain/YOUR\_BRAIN\_ID/mcp"
    }
  }
}

##### Setup for VS Code Copilot

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aiqbee": {
      "url": "https://mcp.aiqbee.com/brain/YOUR\_BRAIN\_ID/mcp"
    }
  }
}

##### Even Easier: Use the VS Code Extension

Got the Aiqbee MCP Brains extension? You don't need to create these files by hand. Click the MCP icon next to any Brain in the sidebar, pick your tool, and the extension writes the config file. One click, no typos.

##### What Your AI Can Do via MCP

Once connected, your AI assistant has access to these MCP tools:

-   aiqbee\_search — semantic and keyword search across your Brain
-   aiqbee\_fetch — retrieve the full content of any neuron
-   aiqbee\_list\_neurons — browse neurons by type with pagination
-   aiqbee\_get\_relationships — discover how concepts connect to each other
-   aiqbee\_create\_neuron — add new knowledge (if MCP editing is enabled)
-   aiqbee\_update\_neuron — keep knowledge current as decisions evolve

##### Brain-Specific vs Brain-Agnostic

The examples above use brain-specific URLs (/brain/{id}/mcp), which scope the AI to a single Brain. If you want your AI to discover and access all Brains available to you, use the brain-agnostic endpoint:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aiqbee": {
      "url": "https://mcp.aiqbee.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

##### Using Service Accounts for Automation

For CI/CD pipelines or headless agents that cannot sign in interactively, create a service account in the Aiqbee admin panel. Exchange the Client ID and Secret for a bearer token, and include it in your MCP config headers. The same permission model applies — the service account only accesses Brains it has been granted access to.
