Setting Up Your VerbAI Tracker and Personal MCP Server
This guide will walk you through creating your own VerbAI tracker, enabling you to collect and access your personal behavioral data through a dedicated MCP server. With VerbAI, you can monitor the internet traffic from your smartphone and use that data to power AI applications built around your own digital behavior.
Think about the possibilities: your search queries, videos you watch, news you read, and social media interactions contain valuable insights that can elevate your next AI project.
Create Your VerbAI Account
Start by creating an account using the link below:
https://verbai.generationlab.org/builder-signup
Once your account is created, follow the instructions to set up the VPN. You will also receive a detailed setup guide via email. It is important to follow each step carefully, as the VPN acts as your data tracker. When the tracker is enabled, your interactions will be recorded and made accessible to you through your personal VerbAI MCP.
Complete the VPN Setup
The VerbAI tracker functions is a VPN. When it is turned on, it securely captures your device's outgoing traffic. This includes:
Search queries
Videos you watch
Articles and news you read
Social media interactions
and more!
This data becomes available only to you through your own private MCP environment.
Make sure to complete all setup steps exactly as provided in your onboarding email to ensure proper data collection. You also have the option to upload data dumps from platforms like Instagram and TikTok at a later stage, but for the initial setup, the VPN alone is sufficient.
For the best results, keep the tracker active for at least 24 hours. This allows enough data to be collected for meaningful behavioral patterns to emerge. As a general rule, the longer the tracker remains active, the richer and more accurate the insights will be when retrieving and processing your data through the MCP.
View and Monitor Your Data
Once everything is connected, your data will begin streaming into VerbAI. In the Data & Privacy section of your dashboard, you will see:
A live graph of collected data
The amount of processed data
Indicators of real‑time ingestion
You may experience a short delay (typically a few minutes) between the moment data is captured and when it appears as processed. Verb also filters out noisy or low‑value data, processing only information deemed meaningful, so some captured activity may not appear in the processed data view. Refresh the page periodically to check on the progress.
Next Steps
With data flowing through your MCP, you can now:
Build custom AI features powered entirely by your personal behavior data
Connect your MCP to automation workflows
Run analytics on your digital activity
Your VerbAI tracker empowers you to create applications that are personalized, private, and driven by your own data.
