Two paths, depending on where you run Claude.
Run this
/mos:setup brain # Larry asks for your API key # Paste it when prompted # Done. Brain is connected.
Or manually: add MINDRIAN_BRAIN_KEY=your-key to your project's .env.
claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mindrian-brain": {
"url": "https://mindrian-brain.onrender.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from your dashboard. Restart Claude Desktop.
If something feels off.
Getting 'RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED' or a Pinecone quota error?
Run rm -f .mcp.json then restart. MindrianOS works fully without Brain - all the commands, the Data Room, graph, and personas still work.
Getting '401 Invalid API key'?
Check the key. If expired, sign in again to verify trial status.
Brain server slow on first request (30-60s)?
Render free tier sleeps after 15 minutes idle. First call wakes it. Subsequent calls are fast.
Old config with neo4j-brain / pinecone-brain entries?
Delete .mcp.json and use /mos:setup brain instead. The old direct-database pattern is deprecated.
