Installation

1. Copy the pycerebro library

The library is not included in this repository. Copy the pycerebro folder from your Cerebro installation into the project root:

C:\Program Files\Cerebro\py-site-packages\pycerebro  →  <project folder>\pycerebro

2. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies

cd <project folder>
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Verify the installation

python -m py_compile server.py
python -c "import pycerebro; print('OK')"

4. Connect to Claude Desktop

Open the configuration file:

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add to the mcpServers section:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cerebro": {
      "command": "C:\\path\\to\\project\\.venv\\Scripts\\python.exe",
      "args": [
        "C:\\path\\to\\project\\server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CEREBRO_USER": "your_login@example.com",
        "CEREBRO_PASSWORD": "your_password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace C:\\path\\to\\project with the actual project folder path, and set CEREBRO_USER and CEREBRO_PASSWORD to your Cerebro credentials.

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
