Let your AI agent monitor any web page — and read what changed

BriefPanel is an MCP server. Connect it to your agent in seconds and ask it to watch pricing pages, docs, changelogs, or competitors — then get back clean summaries of what actually changed.

Add to Cursor Get your API key

Works with Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Windsurf, and any MCP client • Free credits to start

Monitor any page from your agent

Tell your agent a URL and BriefPanel starts watching it — pricing, docs, changelogs, competitors, anything on the open web.

Read exactly what changed

Your agent pulls back AI summaries of what actually changed, not raw diffs or noisy alerts. Act on signal, skip the noise.

Pay-as-you-go, free to start

Start with free credits and only pay for the page checks you use. No subscription required, no seats to manage.

Connect in seconds

Install in your favorite client

BriefPanel speaks Streamable HTTP and authenticates with a Bearer token. Pick your client below.

Every snippet uses a placeholder token. Create a personal API key in the BriefPanel app and paste it in place of YOUR_BRIEFPANEL_API_KEY.

Get your API key

Cursor

One click installs the BriefPanel MCP server. Then paste your API key when prompted.

Add to Cursor

Or add it manually to mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "briefpanel": {
      "url": "https://actions.briefpanel.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_BRIEFPANEL_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude

Add BriefPanel to Claude Code in one command using your API key.

Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add --transport http briefpanel https://actions.briefpanel.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BRIEFPANEL_API_KEY"

Claude.ai and Claude Desktop custom connectors are coming via OAuth — no manual key needed once it ships.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT custom connectors require OAuth.

The ChatGPT connector is coming via OAuth. In the meantime, use any MCP client that supports Bearer headers with the config on the left.

Windsurf & any MCP client

Drop this into your client's MCP config. The same Bearer-authenticated Streamable HTTP server works everywhere.

MCP server config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "briefpanel": {
      "url": "https://actions.briefpanel.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_BRIEFPANEL_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Any MCP-compatible client that supports remote servers with custom headers can connect to BriefPanel this way.
