synap-mcp-server
Hosted remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) that re-fronts the existing Synap public REST operations as MCP tools, so no-code platforms (Gumloop, n8n) can give their agents persistent memory with nothing but a pasted MCP URL and a Bearer token.
It is a stateless adapter — no new backend, storage, or pipeline. Each tool call maps
to one existing REST operation, and the incoming Bearer synap_<key> token is forwarded
verbatim to synap-cloud, which owns auth.
- Public endpoint (prod):
https://synap-mcp.maximem.ai/mcp - Health:

Tools
| Tool | REST operation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
log_exchange |
POST /api/v1/memories/create (mode=long-range) |
Forward every turn; extraction decides what persists. user_id scopes per end-user, customer_id is B2B only (see Scoping); optional conversation_id. |
recall_context |
POST /v1/context/{client|user|customer}/fetch (mode=fast) |
Hot path; no IDs ⇒ client scope. customer scope is B2B only. |
list_recent_memories |
broad /v1/context/.../fetch (no query) |
Debug / "test my memory". Same scoping rules. |
check_memory_status |
GET /api/v1/memories/status/{id} |
Takes no scope ids: the ingestion_id already identifies the write. |
Scoping: one contract, two modes
The REST API enforces this. It is not advice, and it has been live on production since 2026-08-26 07:07 UTC.
Instance mode (user_context_isolation) |
What to send | What happens otherwise |
|---|---|---|
equals_customer (B2C) |
user_id and nothing else. The user id is the whole identity. |
Any customer_id is rejected with HTTP 400. /v1/context/customer/fetch is not available at all. |
strict (B2B) |
customer_id is required, alongside user_id. |
A user_id on its own is an error. Unchanged by this contract. |
GET /api/v1/auth/whoami reports the mode as user_context_isolation. This server
reads it once per token and refuses a customer_id locally on a B2C instance, so a
model gets a sentence telling it what to send instead of a status code it cannot act
on. If the mode cannot be read, nothing is refused and the API stays authoritative.
Pass no IDs at all ⇒ client scope (shared per credential), which is valid in
both modes. Note: client-scope writes are not surfaced on the dashboard Memories page
(relational), so per-user scoping is recommended when dashboard visibility matters.
Fill user_id from an n8n expression / Gumloop input, and pass the same value on
log_exchange and recall_context so writes and reads address the same person.
Host header. The server disables the MCP transport's DNS-rebinding check (it sits behind a proxy + Bearer auth), so any reverse proxy can forward the real Host — no Host-rewrite hack needed.
Run locally
pip install -e ".[dev]"

curl http://localhost:8090/health # {"status":"ok",...}
Reporting the turn to the anticipation agent
An MCP server is not an agent. It exposes tools to somebody else's agent and is handed one stateless HTTP call at a time, so most of what an agent does is invisible here: the caller's tool calls, its tool results and its reasoning never reach this process, and nothing tells a stateless server that a conversation has ended. Those are not reported, because there is nothing to report.
The turn does exist. log_exchange is handed the user's message and the
assistant's reply as arguments. Set MCP_STREAM_EVENTS=true and each logged
exchange is also reported as a conversation turn on POST /v1/events/batch,
the HTTP door onto the same listening path the gRPC stream feeds, so the
anticipation agent sees the turn and not only the memory extracted from it.
There is no gRPC stream here to use: this server holds no SDK, keeps no state
between requests, and every request can carry a different tenant's key.
It is off by default, on purpose. Turning it on adds a second backend call
per log_exchange, writes the turn to conversation history in addition to the
long-range document, and runs the anticipation agent, which bills model calls.
What does not change either way: log_exchange still queues the long-range
document and still returns the ingestion_id that check_memory_status and
wait_for_processing are built on. A turn report is best effort and can never
alter what a tool answers. A turn with no user_id or no conversation_id is
not reported at all, because the events route requires both.
Test
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest -q
Config (env)
| Var | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
SYNAP_API_URL |
http://synap-cloud:8000 |
Backing REST API base URL (internal docker hostname in prod). |
MCP_PORT |
8090 |
Listen port. |
MCP_RECALL_TIMEOUT_S |
10 |
Recall (read) timeout. |
MCP_INGEST_TIMEOUT_S |
8 |
Log/ingest (write) timeout. |
MCP_DEFAULT_MAX_RESULTS |
10 |
Default recall result count. |
MCP_STREAM_EVENTS |
false |
Also report a logged exchange as a conversation turn for anticipation. See above before enabling. |
MCP_EVENTS_TIMEOUT_S |
4 |
Turn-report timeout. Best effort; a miss never changes a tool's answer. |
LOG_LEVEL |
INFO |
Log level. |
ENVIRONMENT |
production |
Reported in /health. |
No Synap API key is configured on the server — the end user's key arrives per-request as a Bearer token.
See the Synap MCP documentation for platform setup guides (Gumloop, n8n) and deployment details.
