Set Up B&R Automation Studio AI Tooling

## Overview

Use the **[br-automation-studio playbook](/playbooks/br-automation-studio)** (`/api/playbooks/br-automation-studio`) as the agent entry point. For the full B&R resource hub, see **[awesome-brdk](https://github.com/BRDK-Public/awesome-brdk)** — Neexo links upstream; it does not mirror awesome-brdk.

Discovery: [llms.txt](https://awesome.neexo.dk/llms.txt) → minimal bundle → playbook → export on demand.

## MCP servers (complementary)

| Tool | Use when |
|------|----------|
| [as-help-mcp](/tools/as-help-mcp) | Official Automation Studio Help search |
| [br-community-mcp](/tools/br-community-mcp) | B&R Community forum search |
| [bnr-claude-plugin](/tools/bnr-claude-plugin) | Build AS projects from **Claude Code** only |

Prefer official AS Help for documentation; use community MCP for forum troubleshooting. See upstream install docs on each tool page.

## VS Code / GitHub Copilot

1. Follow upstream README for each MCP (linked from tool pages).
2. General MCP setup: [Set Up an MCP Server](/cookbook/setup-mcp-server).
3. Configure `.vscode/mcp.json` per upstream — AS Help paths depend on your AS version and install location.

## Other platforms

Cursor, Kilo Code, and generic MCP clients: follow upstream README per tool. Claude Code build tooling: [bnr-claude-plugin](/tools/bnr-claude-plugin) only.

## Data and security

MCP servers may read local AS Help or query the public B&R forum. Review upstream README for scope. Do not expose internal project or customer names in shared configs.
