Runs on your machine from its package; the steps are below.

What it does

  1. Reads
  2. Writes
  3. High impact

At most: creates or changes data: records, files, settings.

What it costs

Free

Odel charges nothing per call. The publisher may charge for its own service.

This server isn't hosted — your MCP client launches it from a package registry. Use one of the commands below, or drop the config into your client (e.g. Claude Desktop).

🧠 Synapse Layer

RAG retrieves. Synapse remembers.

Persistent memory infrastructure for AI agents — AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, semantic search, MCP-native.

Synapse Layer is open-source persistent memory infrastructure for AI agents and assistants. Memories are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, indexed via pgvector HNSW for semantic recall, and exposed through MCP JSON-RPC for native integration with Claude, GPT, Gemini, and any MCP-compatible client. Apache 2.0 licensed.

⚡ 30-Second Quickstart

Get your Connect Token at forge.synapselayer.org → Connect, then install into any MCP client:

bash
curl -fsSL https://forge.synapselayer.org/install/smithery | bash

On the Forge dashboard the Smithery card already copies the command with your token embedded (… | bash -s -- sk_connect_…) — a single paste in your terminal is enough.

Or use the Python SDK:

python
from synapse_layer import Synapse

s = Synapse(token="sk_connect_YOUR_TOKEN")

s.store("user likes coffee")
print(s.recall("what does user like?"))

Get your token at forge.synapselayer.org → Dashboard → Connect


What is Synapse Layer?

The persistent memory layer for AI agents — the missing piece between stateless LLMs and real continuity of context.

Your AI agents forget everything between sessions. Synapse Layer fixes that.

FeatureDescription

🔒 Header-first authTokens never in URLs or logs
🎯 Trust QuotientDeterministic recall — memories ranked by confidence, not recency alone

Why Synapse Layer?

Your AI agents forget everything between sessions. Synapse Layer fixes that — in one line.

Use Cases

  • Long-term assistant memory — persist user preferences, facts, and prior decisions across sessions.
  • Cross-agent continuity — save context in one agent and recall it in another.
  • Secure memory for MCP clients — connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools to a governed memory layer.
  • Operational memory for teams — maintain structured context, trust scoring, and searchable recall for production agents.

Install

bash
pip install synapse-layer

Quick Start

Python Script

python
from synapse_layer import Synapse

client = Synapse(token="sk_connect_YOUR_TOKEN")

# Store
client.store("User prefers dark mode and concise answers")

# Recall
results = client.recall("user preferences")
for r in results:
    print(r["content"], r["trust_quotient"])

With Context Manager

python
from synapse_layer import Synapse

with Synapse(token="sk_connect_YOUR_TOKEN") as client:
    client.store("User prefers dark mode and concise answers")
    results = client.recall("user preferences")
    for r in results:
        print(r["content"])

13 MCP Tools at a Glance

Synapse Layer currently exposes 13 MCP tools for persistent memory workflows:

  • recall
  • save_to_synapse
  • process_text
  • search
  • health_check
  • initialize_context
  • save_memory
  • store_memory
  • recall_memory
  • list_memories
  • memory_feedback
  • neural_handover
  • slo_report

These tools cover memory capture, semantic recall, structured storage, feedback loops, agent handoff, and operational observability.


Deployment Modes

Python Script Mode

Use the SDK when you want direct Python access to Forge memory from your application.

Best for:

  • prototypes and scripts
  • Python-native workflows
  • fast integration into existing apps

Cloud / Forge API

Use Forge when you need persistent, cross-session, and cross-agent memory with managed access tokens.

Best for:

  • production assistants
  • multi-agent systems
  • MCP-based integrations
  • shared memory across tools and sessions

MCP Integration (Claude Desktop / Cursor)

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "synapse-layer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://forge.synapselayer.org/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-connect-token: sk_connect_YOUR_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Config file location:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

API — Header-First Auth

bash
# Health check
curl -H "x-connect-token: sk_connect_YOUR_TOKEN" \
  https://forge.synapselayer.org/api/connect/health

# Save memory
curl -X POST \
  -H "x-connect-token: sk_connect_YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "User is a Python developer"}' \
  https://forge.synapselayer.org/api/v1/capture
