David Snelling a99b1e83c4 chore: rename to @soulcraftlabs/brainy for Open Brainy on The Source
Prepares the repo for its new home at soulcraftlabs/open-brainy ahead
of the Forgejo transfer: package name, publish registry, release
script, and every install/import reference across docs, src, tests,
examples, and integrations now point at @soulcraftlabs/brainy on
The Source. The npmjs storefront leg and byte-identity pair
verification are stripped from the release script — The Source is
now the only publish target. README gains an Open Brainy explainer
and a registry note for consumers.

@soulcraft/brainy 10.4.2 was the last release under the old name.

Model Control Protocol (MCP) for Brainy

This document provides information about the Model Control Protocol (MCP) implementation in Brainy, which allows external models to access Brainy data and use the augmentation pipeline as tools.

Components

The MCP implementation consists of three main components:

  1. BrainyMCPAdapter: Provides access to Brainy data through MCP
  2. MCPAugmentationToolset: Exposes the augmentation pipeline as tools
  3. BrainyMCPService: Integrates the adapter and toolset, providing WebSocket and REST server implementations for external model access

Environment Compatibility

BrainyMCPAdapter

The BrainyMCPAdapter has no environment-specific dependencies and can run in any environment where Brainy itself runs, including:

  • Browser environments
  • Node.js environments
  • Server environments

MCPAugmentationToolset

The MCPAugmentationToolset also has no environment-specific dependencies and can run in any environment where Brainy itself runs, including:

  • Browser environments
  • Node.js environments
  • Server environments

BrainyMCPService

The BrainyMCPService has been refactored to separate the core functionality from the Node.js-specific server functionality:

  1. Core Functionality: The core request handling functionality (handleMCPRequest) can run in any environment where Brainy itself runs. This is what remains in the main Brainy package.

  2. Server Functionality: The WebSocket and REST server functionality is not included in the main Brainy package to keep the browser bundle lightweight and avoid Node.js-specific dependencies. In browser or other environments, you can use the core functionality through the handleMCPRequest method.

Usage

In Any Environment (Browser, Node.js, Server)

import { Brainy, BrainyMCPAdapter, MCPAugmentationToolset } from '@soulcraftlabs/brainy'

// Create a Brainy instance
const brainyData = new Brainy()
await brainyData.init()

// Create an MCP adapter
const adapter = new BrainyMCPAdapter(brainyData)

// Create a toolset
const toolset = new MCPAugmentationToolset()

// Use the adapter to access Brainy data
const response = await adapter.handleRequest({
  type: 'data_access',
  operation: 'search',
  requestId: adapter.generateRequestId(),
  version: '1.0.0',
  parameters: {
    query: 'example query',
    k: 5
  }
})

// Use the toolset to execute augmentation pipeline tools
const toolResponse = await toolset.handleRequest({
  type: 'tool_execution',
  toolName: 'brainy_memory_storeData',
  requestId: toolset.generateRequestId(),
  version: '1.0.0',
  parameters: {
    args: ['key1', { some: 'data' }]
  }
})

In Browser Environment (Core Functionality Only)

import { Brainy, BrainyMCPService } from '@soulcraftlabs/brainy'

// Create a Brainy instance
const brainyData = new Brainy()
await brainyData.init()

// Create an MCP service (server functionality will be disabled in browser)
const mcpService = new BrainyMCPService(brainyData)

// Use the core functionality
const response = await mcpService.handleMCPRequest({
  type: 'data_access',
  operation: 'search',
  requestId: mcpService.generateRequestId(),
  version: '1.0.0',
  parameters: {
    query: 'example query',
    k: 5
  }
})
