For AI assistants

Brief MCP server

Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or any MCP client to your Brief. The assistant reads your daily brief, your meeting and person briefings, and your commitments, and can update them for you. A change to a decision or question waits for you to confirm it in Brief, unless you let Brief make those changes directly.
