# INITE Brain

INITE Brain stores facts across agent conversations in a knowledge graph and ties answers to their sources. Use it when an agent needs to recall earlier discussions or track changes.

## What it does

INITE Brain keeps structured facts, entity relationships, and context from the conversations or documents they came from. Its graph tracks both when a fact was valid and when the system learned it. When a new statement conflicts with an earlier one, the earlier fact is superseded or the new one is marked `COMPETING` instead of being silently overwritten.

Connect it to Claude Code with `claude mcp add --transport http inite-brain https://brain.inite.ai/mcp`. Answers point to the facts that support them, and strict mode can abstain if the evidence does not support a claim. Running the service locally requires Docker with Compose v2, `openssl`, and an OpenAI API key; the first startup downloads local ONNX models, so the first write can take a few minutes.

## Requirements
- Remote server: `https://brain.inite.ai/mcp`

## When to use it
- carry project facts between agent conversations
- track when a fact was valid and when it was learned
- surface conflicts between new and stored information
- get answers linked to supporting facts

## Example prompts
- Remember that this project uses SurrealDB as its database.
- What did we decide about the database in earlier conversations?
- Compare this new deadline with stored facts and show the supporting sources.
