Blue Synergy Cortex — Claude Code MCP server: how to install
External cognitive memory engine backed by PostgreSQL and a knowledge graph. Keeps architectural requirements stable across agent sessions without drift.
claude mcp add --transport sse cortex https://cortex.bluesynergy.io/v1/mcp/sseWhat Blue Synergy Cortex does
The server structures agent memory into distinct streams instead of an unorganized vector dump. A user stream registers conversational habits, while an authoritative knowledge stream locks architectural specifications into an ontology. Storing data inside transactional PostgreSQL and a domain graph prevents critical technical parameters from decaying during context compression.
During a standard interaction, the agent calls cortex_recall to fetch validated graph relations in under 65ms before writing code. Once the response completes, cortex_ingest_turn pipes the exchange into an asynchronous ingestion queue. For CLI environments like Claude Code, setting compact: true strips profile preambles to conserve context budget.
Local deployment is not supported. Without an active ctx_live_... API key, the hosted engine rejects queries, requiring constant network access to cortex.bluesynergy.io.
What it helps with
- Retain exact project specifications across separate terminal sessions
- Stop architectural requirements from drifting during prolonged tasks
- Retrieve domain graph relationships with latency under 65ms
- Separate user conversation tendencies from rigid system invariants
Example prompts for the agent
- Call

Questions about Blue Synergy Cortex
How to install Blue Synergy Cortex in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport sse cortex https://cortex.bluesynergy.io/v1/mcp/sse. You must also supply your API key to authenticate the SSE connection.
What does Blue Synergy Cortex do?
It provides a persistent cognitive memory layer for agents using PostgreSQL and a domain knowledge graph. The system separates user dialogue styles from immutable project specifications.
Why pass compact to cortex_recall?
Setting compact: true strips biographical introductions and returns strictly high-relevance technical facts. This minimizes prompt overhead, making it practical for terminal interfaces like Claude Code.
