## Description

Brain Trust MCP Server provides contextual Q&A capabilities and plan review functionality through OpenAI integration. Built by Matt Bernier using FastMCP, it offers two primary tools: 'phone_a_friend' for asking questions with optional context, and 'review_plan' for analyzing plan documents with four review levels (quick, standard, comprehensive, expert) that provide structured feedback including scores, strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions. The implementation uses per-request API key authentication for security, supports configurable OpenAI models and token limits, and includes Docker deployment with nginx reverse proxy, making it valuable for teams needing AI-powered document analysis, strategic planning feedback, or contextual assistance during development workflows.
