Open Brain MCP Server

Graph-structured MCP memory. 37.2% on LongMemEval baseline - a benchmark most memory systems don't publish. Its 16 documented tools cover thought, review, thoughts. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that want a hosted memory endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in TypeScript.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as remote - your agent's requests go to {supabase_project_ref}.supabase.co

registry namespace io.github.Bobby-cell-commits is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Open Brain can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can browse thoughts filtered by type, topic, person, theme, quality, time, save a new thought from any AI client (with auto-embedding), and browse extracted entities (people, tools, projects, orgs) by frequency.

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Open Brain lets an agent do.

Thought

4 tools - e.g. Aggregate statistics: counts, type/theme breakdown, top topics/people; Save a new thought from any AI client (with auto-embedding); Rewrite content (re-embeds, re-extracts metadata)

thought_stats · capture_thought · update_thought · delete_thought

Thoughts

2 tools - e.g. Semantic search with optional graph expansion (1-hop traversal); Browse thoughts filtered by type, topic, person, theme, quality, time

search_thoughts · list_thoughts

read & search

2 tools - e.g. Graph traversal from a thought (typed links: extends, contradicts, etc.); Browse extracted entities (people, tools, projects, orgs) by frequency

get_connections · list_entities

Weekly

1 tool - e.g. AI-generated summary of themes, open loops, and next steps

weekly_review

Analyze

1 tool - e.g. Graph analysis: hubs, density, sources, co-occurrence, themes

analyze

Dedup

1 tool - e.g. Duplicate candidates with similarity zone histogram
