Questions about remote-mcp
What does the remote-mcp skill do?
Publish the user's own gbrain over MCP so other devices, desktop apps and cloud agents can reach it. `gbrain mcp expose` installs and signs in Tailscale, publishes the running `gbrain serve --http` on the tailnet (HTTPS, tailnet-only by default; Funnel only when a client lives in a vendor cloud), keeps the server alive as a user service, and hands back the MCP URL. Then register one least-privilege client per consumer, choose native OAuth/PKCE or a private machine handoff for that client, and verify the connection inside the intended harness.
How do I install remote-mcp?
