Brain MCP Server

What it does

Brain MCP Server provides LLMs with a persistent, file-based memory system and a structured task queue. It allows AI agents to store long-term knowledge in markdown files and manage complex, multi-step workflows using reusable templates, preventing context loss across sessions.

Tools

• store-memory: Save information as markdown files in the knowledge base.
• get-memory: Retrieve specific knowledge by file path.
• list-memories: View the hierarchical structure of all stored memories.
• delete-memory: Remove outdated or incorrect information.
• add-tasks: Queue multiple tasks for systematic execution.
• get-task: Retrieve and remove the next pending task from the queue.
• create-task-template: Define reusable workflow patterns.
• instantiate-task-template: Generate specific tasks from a template.
• ask-question: Prompt the user via native OS popup dialogs.
