Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http brainy-prices-mcp https://prices.brainy.ae/mcp/v2

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add brainy-prices-mcp --url https://prices.brainy.ae/mcp/v2
