Frequently Asked Questions

What is CB Insights and how does it work?

CB Insights is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides intelligent message automation capabilities to AI applications like Claude Desktop and Cursor. MCP servers act as bridges between AI assistants and external services, enabling them to Connect CB Insights to your communication platform to enable AI assistants to read messages, send automated responses, and summarize conversations intelligently.. The server implements the MCP specification, exposing tools and resources that AI models can discover and use dynamically during conversations. Provides an interface for developers to interact with the CB Insights ChatCBI LLM through AI Agents.

How do I install and configure CB Insights?

CB Insights is implemented in TypeScript and can be installed via package managers or by cloning from the source repository. After installation, you'll need to configure your MCP client (Claude Desktop or Cursor) by adding the server to your configuration file, typically located in your settings directory. The configuration includes the server command, any required arguments, and environment variables for authentication or API keys. Check the official documentation for detailed setup instructions and configuration examples.

Is CB Insights free and open source?

CB Insights uses a Freemium pricing model. Review the official pricing page for current costs, usage limits, and enterprise licensing options. Consider your usage volume and required features when evaluating whether the pricing fits your budget and project requirements.

Which AI assistants and IDEs support CB Insights?

CB Insights is officially compatible with Web, MCP-compatible clients and works with any MCP-compatible AI assistant or development environment. MCP is an open protocol, so support continues to expand across tools. To use it, ensure your client application supports MCP servers and add CB Insights to your configuration. Check your specific tool's MCP documentation for configuration instructions. Some platforms may require specific versions or additional setup steps.

What are the security and usage limits for CB Insights?

Security considerations for CB Insights include access control to the underlying services it connects to, and data privacy when handling sensitive information. Review the security documentation before deploying in production. Usage limits depend on your pricing tier and the underlying services the server integrates with—API rate limits, quota restrictions, and concurrent connection limits may apply. Implement your own rate limiting if needed. Run servers locally when possible to maintain control over data and reduce latency.

How do I troubleshoot common CB Insights issues?

Common issues with CB Insights include configuration errors, authentication failures, and connection problems. First, verify your configuration file syntax and ensure all required environment variables (API keys, credentials) are set correctly. Check the server logs for error messages—most MCP servers output detailed debugging information to help identify problems. Consult the documentation for troubleshooting guides. If the server starts but tools don't appear in your AI assistant, restart the client application to reload the MCP configuration. For authentication issues, regenerate API keys and verify they have the necessary permissions for the resources CB Insights accesses.
