Manual setup
If your MCP client isn't auto-detected by brainbase init, you can manually configure it. BrainBase's MCP server runs via stdio JSON-RPC:
bash
$ brainbase mcpPoint your MCP client to the brainbase mcp command as a stdio server. It exposes 7 tools via JSON-RPC:
Available tools
| Tool | Parameters | Description |
|---|---|---|
memory_search | query: string | Search with spreading activation |
memory_context | mode: MAXIMUM|STANDARD|LIGHT|MINIMAL, topic?: string | Full context generation |
memory_add | content: string, type: fact|preference|decision|project|identity|skill|insight|task, importance?: number | Store knowledge |
memory_status | (none) | Brain statistics |
memory_related | query: string | Discover connected memories |
memory_remind | message: string, trigger_words?: string[] | Prospective memory |
memory_process_message | message: string, role: user|assistant | Process message (called every turn) |
Critical tool
memory_process_message should be called with every user message. This is how the brain learns. Without it, BrainBase can only read — it can't grow.
