Lobu MCP Server

Lobu is an open-source, event-sourced context layer for AI agents. Every tool call, data change, device signal, API event, and conversation becomes an event, linked to the entities and identities it belongs to - a person, a project, a customer, a home, a company. That gives agents a live, queryable model of your world instead of a transcript they forget when the session ends. 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.
