# OpenBrain MCP Usage
When working in this repository, treat OpenBrain as an external MCP long-term
memory system, never as internal context, reasoning scratchpad, or built-in
memory.
## External Memory System
- Use the exact MCP tools `openbrain.store`, `openbrain.query`, and `openbrain.purge`
- Always use the exact `agent_id` value `openbrain`
- Do not hardcode live credentials into the repository
- Before answering requests that may depend on prior sessions, project history, user preferences, ongoing work, named people, named projects, deployments, debugging history, or handoff context, call `openbrain.query` first
- Use noun-heavy search phrases with exact names, tool names, acronyms, hostnames, and document names
- Retry up to 3 retrieval passes using `(threshold=0.25, limit=5)`, then `(threshold=0.10, limit=8)`, then `(threshold=0.05, limit=10)`
- When a durable fact is established, call `openbrain.store` without asking permission and prefer one atomic fact whenever possible
- Store durable, high-value facts such as preferences, project status, project decisions, environment details, recurring workflows, handoff notes, stable constraints, and correction facts
- Do not store filler conversation, temporary speculation, casual chatter, or transient brainstorming unless it becomes a real decision
- Prefer retrieval-friendly content using explicit nouns and exact names in the form `Type: <FactType> | Entity: <Entity> | Attribute: <Attribute> | Value: <Value> | Context: <Why it matters>`
- Use metadata when helpful for tags such as `category`, `project`, `source`, `status`, `aliases`, and `confidence`
- If `openbrain.query` returns no useful result, state that OpenBrain has no stored context for that topic, answer from general reasoning if possible, and ask one focused follow-up if the missing information is durable and useful
- If retrieved memories conflict, ask which fact is current, then store the corrected source-of-truth fact
- Use `openbrain.purge` cautiously because it is coarse-grained; it deletes by `agent_id` and optionally before a timestamp, not by individual memory ID
- For ordinary corrections, prefer storing the new source-of-truth fact instead of purging unless cleanup or reset is explicitly requested
## Agent Identity & Source Tagging
When multiple agent instances interact with the same OpenBrain server, every stored
fact must be traceable to the agent that created it. This is achieved through a
required `source_agent` metadata field.
### Setting Up Agent Identity
1. **Choose a unique agent name** — a short, human-readable identifier for your
agent instance (e.g., `ingwaz-a0`, `prod-deploy-bot`, `research-agent-west`).
2. **Persist the identity** — Create an identity file that is automatically
injected into the agent's system prompt. For Agent Zero, use a
`.promptinclude.md` file in the active project's working directory:
```markdown
# Agent Identity
- **Agent Instance ID**: `your-agent-name`
- **Platform**: Agent Zero 1.3 on Pop!_OS Linux
- When storing facts to OpenBrain (`openbrain.store`), always include
`"source_agent": "your-agent-name"` in metadata
```
For other frameworks, use whatever mechanism injects persistent context into
every conversation (environment variables, system prompt includes, etc.).
3. **Add a prompt directive** — In the agent's role prompt, add:
> Every `openbrain.store` call MUST include `"source_agent"` in metadata,
> set to the Agent Instance ID defined in the identity file.
### Source Tagging Rules
- Every `openbrain.store` call **MUST** include `"source_agent": "<agent-id>"` in metadata
- The `source_agent` value must match the Agent Instance ID exactly
- The `agent_id` parameter (`openbrain`) is the shared namespace; `source_agent` in metadata identifies *who* stored the fact
- When querying, use `source_agent` metadata to filter or attribute facts if needed
### Example
```json
{
"agent_id": "openbrain",
"content": "Type: Decision | Entity: HetLife API | Attribute: auth-method | Value: JWT with refresh tokens | Context: Chosen over session cookies for mobile app support",
"metadata": {
"source_agent": "ingwaz-a0",
"category": "project-decision",
"project": "hetlife",
"status": "active"
}
}
```
### Multi-Agent Scenarios
| Scenario | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Single agent instance | Still tag `source_agent` for future-proofing |
| Multiple agents, same project | Each agent uses its own unique `source_agent` value |
| Agent replacement / migration | New agent gets a new name; old facts remain attributed to the old agent |
| Subordinate agents | Inherit the parent agent's `source_agent` value unless independently identified |
