Official MCP server for Brilliant Directories — manage members, posts, leads, reviews, and more.
Official MCP server for Brilliant Directories — manage members, posts, leads, reviews, and more. Exposed over MCP by the brilliant mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Universal AI integration for your BD site. Give any AI agent full access to your Brilliant Directories site with one API key.
Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Windsurf — Windsurf's AI pane is called Cascade. MCP servers plug into CascadeYou will need 3 environment variables: ENTER_API_KEY, BD_API_KEY, BD_SITE_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Brilliant's toolset — Windsurf — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by brilliantdirectories; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
