AI code review in your editor Anna Connect: Anna in any editor.
One installer and a few copy-paste snippets register the anna-brain MCP server into whichever AI coding editor you use. The connector is a small, readable Node script that only writes a little config block pointing at node anna-brain-server.mjs, which proxies to api.imanna.ai.
Anna’s intelligence runs on imanna’s servers and never lands on your machine.
What you need
Node.js (LTS)
Required to run Anna in your editor: the connector launches a local Node MCP server. The installer itself runs without it, but the editor needs Node on PATH afterwards.
An imanna token
Create the free account and copy the token. It is the only credential the connector writes.
Two ways in
The installer (Windows, easiest)
Download and run Anna-Connect-Setup.exe. A window opens, lists the editors it finds on your machine, and asks which to set up and for your imanna token — then it writes the right config for each, backing up anything it touches. No terminal. The first run shows a Windows SmartScreen notice, because the beta installer is not code-signed yet: choose More info ▸ Run anyway.
Paste the block (any editor)
Nothing to run. Add this block to your editor’s MCP config, replacing <ANNA_SERVER> with the full path to the anna-brain-server.mjs the installer places beside itself, and <TOKEN> with your imanna token.
"mcpServers": {
"anna-brain": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["<ANNA_SERVER>"],
"env": {
"ANNA_PROXY_URL": "https://api.imanna.ai/v1/complete",
"IMANNA_TOKEN": "<TOKEN>"
}
}
}The top-level key differs by editor: mcpServers for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and JetBrains; servers for VS Code; context_servers (with "source": "custom") for Zed. Codex CLI uses TOML, under [mcp_servers.anna-brain] in ~/.codex/config.toml. JetBrains is the one the installer never writes: AI Assistant / Junie has no config file, so you paste the block under Settings ▸ Tools ▸ AI ▸ MCP yourself.
Where Anna shows up
As an MCP server: your editor’s own AI calls Anna’s tools — review, plan, build, analyse, verify — with no AI key to configure, because the work is metered on your imanna account.
