Tatara is built for agents first. That is not a technical detail — it is the whole design. Your agents are the ones reading your knowledge all day, writing it up, keeping it current, and putting it to work. Tatara is shaped around what they need to do that well. Your job is different and more important: you decide what is true. You review what your agents have written, correct what is wrong, and lock down what has been agreed. So the fastest path to value is to connect an agent now and start working with it, rather than filling a brain by hand first.
1

Create your brain

Sign up at tatara.app. It is free and does not need a card.On first sign-in you name your company, which creates your brain — the container for everything your company knows.
A new brain starts completely empty: no starter documents, no folders, no tags. The first thing in it will be whatever you or your agent writes. See plans for what each plan includes.
2

Connect your agent

This is the step that matters. Tatara connects to your agent over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the standard way AI tools plug into outside systems — so Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and the growing list of other MCP-capable clients can all reach your brain.Add Tatara to your agent’s MCP configuration:
mcp-config.json
The first time your client connects it opens a browser, asks you to sign in, and shows a consent screen naming the client. Approving it lets that agent read your documents, follow the connections between them, and write on your behalf.Connected agents are listed under Agent access in settings, where you can disconnect any of them at any time.
If your client has a settings screen for MCP servers rather than a config file, you only need the address: https://www.tatara.app/api/mcp. Full detail in Connect an agent.

Install the agent skills

The skills teach your agent how to work in your brain properly — searching before it writes, filing things where they belong, and building boards and tables correctly the first time. Without them an agent works it out by trial and error, which is slower and messier.That installs into every agent tool detected on your machine. To install one skill, target specific tools, or install as a plugin, see agent skills.

Put something real in it

Do not start by tidying. Start by asking your agent to write down something you already know and repeat often:
“Write up our ideal customer profile in Tatara — who we sell to, what they care about, and what disqualifies a lead.”
“Read this pricing thread and record what we actually decided, and why.”
The agent creates the folder, writes the document, describes it, and tags it. A brain built this way — one real question at a time — is worth more after a week than a directory of imported files.
The document appears in the app’s sidebar, and your agent can read it back by name.

Review it — this is your job

Open what your agent wrote and read it properly. This is the step people skip, and it is the one that decides whether your brain is an asset or a liability.
  • Is it true? Fix what is not.
  • Is the description right? It is what tells future agents whether to open this document at all.
  • Is it settled? Turn the padlock in the topbar. A locked document refuses every change from every agent until a human unlocks it.
Locking your ideal customer profile, your pricing, and your brand guide is the single highest-value thing you can do in your first week. From then on, every agent you run is grounded in something a person actually signed off.

​
What changes now

Every agent you connect starts from your knowledge rather than its own assumptions. Ask one to draft an outbound email and it uses your real positioning. Ask it to qualify a lead and it uses your real ICP. Ask it what you charge and it does not invent a number. You are no longer re-explaining your business at the top of every conversation. That is the whole point.
