Brain Assistant MCP Server

A natural language interface for the Brain knowledge management system. Talk to your Brain system like you would talk to a helpful assistant.

🧠 What is Brain Assistant?

Brain Assistant provides a conversational interface to all Brain system tools, allowing you to:

• Use natural language instead of JSON commands

• Execute complex workflows with simple requests

• Get intelligent suggestions for tools to use

• Batch operations with preview and approval

• Maintain conversation context across interactions

🚀 Features

Natural Language Commands

Instead of:

brain_remember { "key": "meeting_notes_2024", "value": "..." }

Just say:

"Remember that we discussed API redesign in today's meeting"

Intelligent Workflows

"Create a summary of this week's work and email it to me"

The assistant will:

1. Search relevant memories and notes

2. Generate a summary

3. Create a formatted email

4. Send it (with your approval)

Smart Suggestions

"I need to organize my project notes"

Get suggestions for:

• Which tools to use

• Example commands

• Best practices

Batch Operations

"Archive all memories older than 6 months except the important ones"

• Preview changes before executing

• Intelligent filtering

• Safety checks
