- **SSE** - Remote access via HTTP (with OAuth 2.0 support)

For OAuth configuration and remote access setup, see [OAUTH_SETUP.md](OAUTH_SETUP.md).

## Local Development

```bash
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run with stdio transport
python brain_mcp_server.py

# Run with SSE transport
MCP_PORT=8084 MCP_TRANSPORT=sse python brain_mcp_server.py

# Test with MCP inspector
mcp dev brain_mcp_server.py
```

## Docker Deployment

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

Builds from GitHub and runs with SSE transport on port 8084.
