Claude Desktop

Register the jeffs-brain MCP server with Claude Desktop.

Prerequisites

Install

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add a mcpServers entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jeffs-brain": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@jeffs-brain/memory-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "JB_TOKEN": "optional-hosted-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. The jeffs-brain server should appear in the tool picker (hammer icon) with twelve memory_* tools.

Smoke test

Ask Claude Desktop:

Remember that I’m working on jeffs-brain.

Then in a later turn:

What am I working on?

Both calls should show the MCP tool invocation in the response UI.

Troubleshooting

  • Tools missing from the hammer menu — reopen the app; MCP config is read at launch.
  • Logs live under ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-jeffs-brain.log on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\logs\ on Windows.
  • For the full tool surface see memory_* tools.
