Connect Braintrust to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Run model benchmarks and manage prompts directly from your agent.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Braintrust to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Braintrust works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Braintrust to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Braintrust, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Braintrust. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Braintrust owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical teams building and monitoring production AI applications.

  • 01

    AI Developers

    They hand off Ground Truth datasets to the agent to test prompt variations on the fly.

  • 02

    Machine Learning Engineers

    They use the agent to track variable distributions and remote regressions.

  • 03

    Data Scientists

    They instruct the agent to build matrices and evaluate test runs without writing manual scripts.

FAQ

Questions Braintrust owners ask.

  • 01

    Which AI clients can use this Braintrust MCP?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 02

    Do I need to write code to run evaluations?

    No. Once connected, your agent uses the capabilities to run experiments and query datasets through natural language.

  • 03

    How does this handle prompt versioning?

    The MCP allows your agent to pull specific, version-controlled prompts from Braintrust, ensuring you use the exact text templates you need.

  • 04

    Can I add new data to my datasets?

    Yes. You can use the insert_dataset_row capability to append new test cases to your existing matrices.

  • 05

    Is my Braintrust data secure?

    Yes. Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages your credentials, allowing you to connect your API keys securely to your agent.

  • 06

    Can I insert new test data dynamically tracking specific limits?

    Yes. Utilizing the insert_dataset_row method, you can effortlessly inject exact JSON tracking payload mapping strings directly inside the text corpus evaluating the final results.

  • 07

    Does it pull out original Prompt definitions stored securely?

    Certainly. The get_prompt command isolates and returns perfectly version-controlled bounding parameters slicing literal templates natively hosted under the Braintrust database.

  • 08

    How deeply can it inspect test regressions or scoring limits?

    Using the robust list_experiments call, you can branch full arrays separating LLM version behaviors over massive iterations tracking the performance anomalies accurately.
