Claude AI (MCP)
NeuralRepo integrates with Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing Claude to read, create, and manage your ideas directly during a conversation. No copy-pasting, no switching tabs.
What Is MCP?
Section titled “What Is MCP?”The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants interact with external tools and data sources. When NeuralRepo is connected as an MCP server, Claude gains access to a set of tools for managing your ideas — saving new ones, searching existing ones, linking ideas together, and more.
-
Open Claude.ai and go to your account settings.
-
Navigate to the Integrations or MCP Servers section.
-
Click Add Remote MCP Server and enter the following URL:
https://neuralrepo.com/mcp/ -
Save the configuration. On your next conversation, Claude will have access to NeuralRepo tools.
-
The first time Claude attempts to use a NeuralRepo tool, you will be prompted to authorize via OAuth. Sign in with your NeuralRepo account to grant access.
Add the NeuralRepo MCP server from your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http neuralrepo https://neuralrepo.com/mcp/On the next Claude Code session, NeuralRepo tools will be available. The OAuth authorization flow triggers automatically on first use.
Available Tools
Section titled “Available Tools”Once connected, Claude has access to the following tools:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
save_idea | Create a new idea with title, body, tags, and status |
search_ideas | Search your ideas by keyword or semantic query |
get_idea | Retrieve a specific idea by ID |
update_idea | Update an idea’s title, body, status, or tags |
delete_idea | Delete an idea by ID |
link_ideas | Create a typed relation between two ideas |
unlink_ideas | Remove a relation between two ideas |
list_tags | List all tags in your repository |
Usage Examples
Section titled “Usage Examples”Once NeuralRepo is connected, you can interact with your ideas naturally in conversation:
Saving an idea
Section titled “Saving an idea”You: I just thought of something — we should build a browser extension that highlights text and saves it as an idea. Save this to NeuralRepo.
Claude: I have saved that as a new idea in NeuralRepo. (calls
save_idea)
Searching ideas
Section titled “Searching ideas”You: Do I have any ideas related to browser extensions?
Claude: Let me check your ideas. (calls
search_ideas) You have two related ideas: “Browser extension for bookmarking” and “Chrome plugin for code snippets.”
Linking ideas
Section titled “Linking ideas”You: Those two browser extension ideas are related. Link them.
Claude: Done — I have linked them with a “related” relation. (calls
link_ideas)
Updating status
Section titled “Updating status”You: Move the habit tracker idea to “building” status.
Claude: Updated. “Build a habit tracker app” is now in the
buildingstatus. (callsupdate_idea)
OAuth Authorization Flow
Section titled “OAuth Authorization Flow”NeuralRepo’s MCP integration uses OAuth 2.0 for secure authorization:
- When Claude first attempts to use a NeuralRepo tool, you see an authorization prompt
- Clicking Authorize opens the NeuralRepo OAuth consent screen
- Sign in with your NeuralRepo account (GitHub, Google, Apple, or magic link)
- Grant Claude permission to access your ideas
- Authorization is persisted — you do not need to re-authorize for future sessions
Limitations
Section titled “Limitations”- MCP access is read-write — Claude can create, update, and delete ideas on your behalf. Review Claude’s actions if you want to be cautious.
- MCP is a Pro feature. Free-tier accounts cannot use the MCP integration.
- Rate limits apply: Free plan allows 100 requests/day, Pro plan allows 10,000 requests/day.
