brainBot isn't the only piece of AI goodness that we've had cooking - introducing the new brainCloud MCP Server!

Summary

Connect AI tools directly to your brainCloud account to manage apps, write and deploy cloud code, configure hooks, and S2S servers - all through natural language. Now available with a local Helper for two-way cloud code sync.

Details

We're excited to introduce the brainCloud MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server - a new way to connect AI tools directly to your brainCloud account.

Once connected, you can manage your brainCloud apps entirely through natural language. Ask your AI to write and deploy cloud code scripts, configure API hooks, manage S2S servers, explore the brainCloud API, run scripts, and even help build your client-side integrations.

Before you start

Your team must have the Builder API enabled before you can connect. A team admin can turn it on under Team > Setup > Team Info. There's nothing else to provision — no static API keys are required; you simply sign in with your brainCloud credentials.

What you can do

• List, read, create, and edit cloud code scripts - e.g., “Create a cloud code script that posts a score to multiple leaderboards.”
• Manage API hooks - e.g., “Add a pre-hook for posting leaderboard scores.”
• Configure S2S servers - e.g., “List my S2S servers.”
• Explore the brainCloud API - Your AI looks up the live documentation for your instance and verifies every method signature before writing a script.
• Run and test scripts - e.g., “Test the AwardCoins script.”
• Get help with client integration - the MCP's knowledge of the API helps you write your client apps too.

Easy, secure setup

The MCP server is hosted (HTTP/SSE) and uses OAuth - just add it as a connector in your AI tool and sign in with your brainCloud credentials. No static API keys required. The Public BaaS endpoint is https://mcp.braincloudservers.com/mcp.

Live app safety

Apps on a live plan are protected by brainCloud's live-lock feature. Your AI will notify you if an app is live-locked and ask you to confirm an unlock through the brainCloud portal before making any write operations.

Sync cloud code to local files

Pair the hosted server with the new brainCloud MCP Helper - a small, trustless companion that runs locally and lets your AI sync your cloud code scripts between brainCloud and a folder on your machine (pull, push, or full two-way sync with automatic merging). It stores no credentials, and your script data flows directly between your machine and brainCloud, never through the AI.

To install

Follow our step-by-step guides to get started:

• Getting Started with brainCloud MCP in Claude
• Syncing Cloud Code to Local Files with the brainCloud MCP Helper

Note: the brainCloud MCP is built and tested using Claude CLI and Claude Desktop, but we are adding support for additional MCP-compatible services. If you find your service doesn't work, contact us via support!
