ProductBrain runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 32 installs a week from npm. Last commit 2 Oct 2026.
Drive your ProductBrain product plan (goals, needs, bets, jobs) from any MCP client.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check ProductBrain every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
