Connect your AI

Add brianmadden.ai as a connector in your AI tool. The URL is:

brianmadden.ai/mcp

Once connected, your AI can draw on my full body of work during your normal conversations. No app to install, no account to create, no subscription to manage.

Here's how to set it up in each tool.

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Requires a Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan.

  1. Go to Settings > Connectors
  2. Click Add custom connector
  3. Paste the URL: brianmadden.ai/mcp
  4. Click Add

That's it. Connectors added on claude.ai are also available in Claude Desktop and Claude mobile automatically.

Claude Code (CLI)

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http brianmadden-ai https://brianmadden.ai/mcp

Add --scope user to make it available across all your projects. Once added, Claude Code can draw on the knowledge base in any conversation.

ChatGPT

Requires a Plus, Pro, or Enterprise plan. MCP support is currently in beta.

  1. Go to Settings > Connectors > Advanced and enable Developer Mode
  2. Go to Settings > Apps & Connectors and click Add new connector
  3. Enter a name (e.g., "brianmadden.ai") and paste the URL: brianmadden.ai/mcp
  4. For authentication, select None (no auth required)
  5. In a new chat, click + in the composer, select More > Developer mode, and choose the connector

Microsoft Copilot

Copilot doesn't support custom MCP connections in the consumer chat product yet. MCP is available in Copilot Studio (the agent-building platform) and Microsoft 365 Copilot (enterprise), but not in the regular Copilot chat at copilot.microsoft.com.

For now, download the GitHub repo and attach the files to a Copilot conversation directly.

Google Gemini

Gemini doesn't support custom MCP connections in the consumer web app yet. Google has MCP support in developer tools (Gemini CLI, Gemini Code Assist), but not in the chat product at gemini.google.com.

For now, download the GitHub repo and attach the files to a Gemini conversation directly.

Other tools

Any AI tool that supports the Model Context Protocol can connect. MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants pull from external knowledge sources, and it's supported by a growing number of tools. If yours isn't listed here, check its settings for something like "connectors," "extensions," or "MCP," and add https://brianmadden.ai/mcp as a remote server.

What if my tool doesn't support MCP?

Load the files directly. Clone or download the GitHub repo and drag the files into a conversation. Most AI tools let you attach files or reference a local folder. Start with me/synthesis.md for the core arguments, or CLAUDE.md for loading instructions that tell the AI how to navigate everything.

What is MCP?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It's an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external data sources. When you add an MCP connector to brianmadden.ai/mcp, your AI gets access to tools for searching my published work, reading specific files, loading frameworks by name, and checking my current thinking. No data is collected, nothing leaves your conversation, and your AI decides when and how to use the knowledge.
