Get a validated workflow.

Plan in Studio, validate on hosted samples, and run full analyses in your IDE or cluster.

Official workflows

Start with a workflow you can validate

Choose from curated pipelines for preprocessing, GLM, connectivity, and more, then review them in Studio before you scale up.

🔌 IDE integration

Use in your IDE

Run Brain Researcher directly in Cursor, Codex, or Claude Code. Use MCP when you are ready to take a validated plan into full execution.

Cursor uses a direct bearer token in JSON, Codex uses ~/.codex/config.toml plus BR_MCP_TOKEN, and Claude Code keeps Authorization: Bearer ${BR_MCP_TOKEN} in the hosted HTTP JSON config.
