Install

pip install mindgraph-sdk

Quick Start

from mindgraph import MindGraph

with MindGraph("https://api.mindgraph.cloud", api_key="mg_...") as graph:
    # Add a node
    node = graph.add_node(
        label="User prefers dark mode",
        node_type="Preference",
    )

    # Search
    results = graph.search("what does the user prefer?")

    # Connect knowledge
    graph.add_link(
        from_uid=node["uid"],
        to_uid="user_abc",
        edge_type="BelongsTo",
    )

API Reference

Constructor

MindGraph(base_url, *, api_key=None, jwt=None, timeout=30.0)

Supports context manager protocol (with statement) for automatic cleanup.

Reality Layer

Method	Description
capture(**kwargs)	Capture a source, snippet, or observation
entity(**kwargs)	Create, alias, resolve, or merge entities
find_or_create_entity(label, props?, agent_id?)	Convenience: create or find an entity by label (generic fallback)
find_or_create_person(label, props?, agent_id?)	Find or create a Person entity
find_or_create_organization(label, props?, agent_id?)	Find or create an Organization entity
find_or_create_nation(label, props?, agent_id?)	Find or create a Nation entity
find_or_create_event(label, props?, agent_id?)	Find or create an Event entity
find_or_create_place(label, props?, agent_id?)	Find or create a Place entity
find_or_create_concept(label, props?, agent_id?)	Find or create a Concept entity
add_claim(label, content, confidence?, agent_id?)	Add a Claim node via the argument endpoint
add_evidence(label, description, agent_id?)	Add an Evidence node attached to a claim
add_observation(label, description, agent_id?)	Add an Observation node

Typed entity example:

person = graph.find_or_create_person("Marie Curie", props={"nationality": "Polish"})
org = graph.find_or_create_organization("CERN", props={"org_type": "intergovernmental"})
concept = graph.find_or_create_concept("Nuclear Physics")

# find_or_create_entity() still works as a generic fallback for any entity type
entity = graph.find_or_create_entity("Some Entity")

Epistemic Layer

Method	Description
argue(**kwargs)	Construct a full argument: claim + evidence + warrant + edges
inquire(**kwargs)	Add hypothesis, theory, paradigm, anomaly, assumption, or question
structure(**kwargs)	Add concept, pattern, mechanism, model, analogy, theorem, etc.

Intent Layer

Method	Description
commit(**kwargs)	Create a goal, project, or milestone
deliberate(**kwargs)	Open decisions, add options/constraints, resolve decisions
resolve_decision(...)	Resolve with optional informs_uid, as_of_date, session_id, and retrieval_trace_id linkage

Action Layer

Method	Description
procedure(**kwargs)	Build flows, add steps, affordances, and controls
risk(**kwargs)	Assess risk or retrieve existing assessments

Memory Layer

Method	Description
session(**kwargs)	Open a session, record traces, or close a session
journal(label, props?, *, summary?, session_uid?, ...)	Record a journal entry linked to an optional session
distill(**kwargs)	Create a Summary (default) or Lesson with source provenance (output_type="lesson")
memory_config(**kwargs)	Set/get preferences and memory policies

Agent Layer

Method	Description
plan(**kwargs)	Create tasks, plans, plan steps, update status
governance(**kwargs)	Create policies, set safety budgets, request/resolve approvals
execution(**kwargs)	Track execution lifecycle and register agents

Synthesis (Projects)

Scope a corpus to a Project (via commit(action="project", ...) then link documents with PartOfProject), then mine cross-document signals and generate synthesis articles.

Method	Description
signals(project_uid, *, signals?, target_types?)	Mine cross-document structural signals for a project
run_synthesis(project_uid)	Spawn async synthesis job that turns top clusters into Article nodes; returns {"job_id": ...}

project = graph.commit(action="project", label="Q2 China strategy")
# ...link documents to the project via PartOfProject edges...
signals = graph.signals(project["uid"], signals="clustered_claim_hubs,dialectical_pairs")
job = graph.run_synthesis(project["uid"])
status = graph.get_job(job["job_id"])

Operational Ontology (Layer 7)

Define typed domain objects (Customer, Order, Contract…) as a semantic contract and either bind them to a SQL database or extract them from documents — fused onto one object. Connecting a database (credentials/sync) is done in the dashboard; the SDK proposes/reviews schemas, queries, and lists the generated agent read tools.

Method	Description
propose_ontology_schema(...)	Draft a schema from a description (+ optional sample docs); returns {"schema_id", "job_id"}
activate_ontology_schema(id) / get_ontology_schema(id) / list_ontology_schemas()	Schema lifecycle
list_ontology_proposals(...) / approve_ontology_proposal(id) / reject_ontology_proposal(id)	Review extracted-object proposals
query_ontology(query=..., schema_id=...)	Typed retrieval with the cognitive overlay fused in
list_ontology_tools()	The generated read-tool manifest (search_/get_/summarize_<obj>) the MCP server renders

res = graph.propose_ontology_schema(description="Clients, orders, contracts.")
graph.activate_ontology_schema(res["schema_id"])
tools = graph.list_ontology_tools()
ctx = graph.query_ontology(query="Which customers are a churn risk?", schema_id=res["schema_id"])

See the Operational Ontology and Connect a database docs.

CRUD

Method	Description
get_node(uid)	Get a node by UID
add_node(label, node_type?, props?, agent_id?)	Add a generic node
update_node(uid, **kwargs)	Update node fields
delete_node(uid)	Tombstone a node and all connected edges
add_link(from_uid, to_uid, edge_type, agent_id?)	Add a typed edge
get_edges(from_uid?, to_uid?)	Get edges by source or target

Search

Method	Description
search(query, node_type?, layer?, limit?)	Full-text search
hybrid_search(query, k?, node_types?, layer?, explain?)	BM25 + vector search with rank fusion; explain=True attaches per-leg contributions (legs: which legs surfaced each result, the within-leg rank the fusion used, and the leg's raw score)
merge_candidates()	Pending duplicate pairs recorded by the dedup pipeline, awaiting merge/dismiss

Traversal

Method	Description
reasoning_chain(uid, max_depth=5)	Follow epistemic edges from a node
neighborhood(uid, max_depth=1)	Get all nodes within N hops

Ingestion & Retrieval

Method	Description
ingest_chunk(content, *, chunk_type?, ...)	Ingest a single text chunk (sync): stores, embeds, and runs LLM extraction
ingest_document(content, *, title?, ...)	Ingest a full document (async): chunks text, returns job ID
ingest_session(content, *, session_uid?, ...)	Ingest a session transcript (async): links to session, returns job ID
retrieve_context(query, *, graph_expansion_limit?, graph_max_depth?, ...)	Direct retrieval plus optional cheapest-first graph expansion
get_job(job_id)	Get async job status and progress
clear_graph()	Clear all graph data

Lifecycle Shortcuts

Method	Description
tombstone(uid, reason?, agent_id?)	Soft-delete a node
restore(uid, agent_id?)	Restore a tombstoned node

Cross-cutting

Method	Description
retrieve(**kwargs)	Unified retrieval: text search, active goals, open questions, weak claims
traverse(**kwargs)	Budgeted min-cost traversal; response depth is witness-path hops
evolve(**kwargs)	Lifecycle mutations: update, tombstone, restore, decay, history

Health & Stats

Method	Description
health()	Health check
stats()	Graph-wide statistics

Account sign-up, login, and API key management live in the MindGraph dashboard — not the SDK. Get your API key there, then pass it to the MindGraph constructor.

Examples

See examples/ for runnable demos, including a research continuity scenario showing cross-session memory retrieval.

Error Handling

All methods raise MindGraphError on HTTP errors:

from mindgraph import MindGraphError

try:
    graph.get_node("nonexistent")
except MindGraphError as e:
    print(e.status, e.body)
