Let your AI agent monitor any web page — and read back typed fields

BriefPanel is an MCP server. Connect it to your agent in seconds and ask it to watch pricing pages, docs, changelogs, or competitors — then read back each item's fields, with the previous and current value on every check.

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 the field that moved

Your agent pulls back item-level updates — field, previous value, current value — 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.

Works with your stack

Let your agent watch any page and read back the field that moved

One Bearer-authenticated MCP server, no glue code. Connect the agent you already use and start with free credits.

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.

Tools your agent gets

The core tools, plain-language prompts

Once connected, just ask your agent in natural language. It maps your request to these tools — and to the rest of the server's tools, which read each item's history, pause or resume a page, and check your balance.

add_source

Start monitoring a new web page. Set how often to check it and what changes matter.

Try saying

Use BriefPanel to start monitoring https://example.com/pricing and tell me when the price changes.

get_source_changes

Pull recent item-level updates across your monitored pages, each naming the field that moved and its previous and current value.

Try saying

Which fields moved on the pages I'm monitoring with BriefPanel this week?

list_sources

List every page you're currently monitoring with BriefPanel.

Try saying

List all the pages I'm tracking in BriefPanel.
