MCP Setup Guide

Connect your AI assistant to Brick Directory using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Quick Setup

Standard MCP Configuration

All MCP-compatible AI assistants use the same configuration format. Add this to your AI assistant's MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brick-directory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-fetch", "https://mcp.brick.directory/connect"]
    }
  }
}

After adding this configuration, restart your AI assistant to activate the connection.
