From zero to a grounded agent in one sitting

Connect a source, let the Brain build, point your agent at it. The reference below covers the happy path; for anything deeper, we onboard every new team directly.

1 · Get an API key

Create an org in the app and generate a key under API Keys. Keys are org-scoped and shown once at creation.

2 · Install the CLI and initialize

The CLI extracts schema metadata locally — only structure is sent to BrainBox, never your rows and never a connection string.

npm install -g @brainbox-labs/cli
brainbox repo init          # link this project to your brain

3 · Connect a source

Start with one database or a folder of docs. Each additional source enriches the same brain.

brainbox meta ingest db     # schema metadata from a database
brainbox meta ingest doc    # definitions & policy from documents

4 · Point your agent at the Brain

The Brain is served as a hosted MCP server. Add it to Claude, Cursor, or your own orchestrator and the grounded tools appear automatically.

# MCP endpoint (authenticate with your API key)
https://ctx.brainbox-ai.app/api/mcp

Building something more involved — an embedded multi-tenant setup, a custom connector, the SDK? Start from the developer platform or talk to us — we onboard every new team directly.

Prefer to see it before you wire it?

Book a demo and we'll build a brain from a sample of your stack.
