Connect Cursor, Claude Code, or another AI agent through MCP
Generate the MCP configuration for an external agent so it can use the same project and Studio connection as Bricklayer.
Updated November 8, 2026
Bricklayer can share its project tools with other AI agents through MCP (the Model Context Protocol), so an agent you already use can read and edit the same local project the editor manages.
Generate the configuration
- Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
- Run Bricklayer: Connect Another AI Agent (MCP).
- Choose your client. Bricklayer generates configuration snippets for clients including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Roo, Zed, and JetBrains.
- Add the snippet to that client's MCP settings, following the client's own instructions.
Things to know
- The companion must be running. The external agent talks to the same local companion Bricklayer uses. Bricklayer: Connect to Studio makes sure the configuration exists and starts the companion if it is not running.
- Studio still needs to be connected for anything that touches the live place.
- Your approvals still matter. How an external client asks before acting depends on that client's own settings. Check them before giving it a big task.
This is optional and aimed at people who already use one of these tools. If you are new, the built-in AI setup (Ctrl+I) is simpler.
