MCP server for Neruva agent memory + reasoning substrate (Python mirror of @neruva/mcp 0.23 on npm). Pair with neruva-record 0.16+ for warm daemon + TTL cache + reflect-cadence: cache-hit p95 ~80ms (faster than Mem0). AUTO-PILOT: agent_route_intent_prompt (18-pattern router) + agent_reflect_prompt (self-curation) + auto-extract on records_ingest. Plus Records, 5-engine KG, federated recall, Pearl do-operator, HD analogy, CBR, ToM, EFE, rule induction, replay, code_kg_*.

Project description

neruva-mcp

MCP server for Neruva — memory + reasoning substrate for AI agents. Knowledge graph (5 engines), Pearl do-operator, HD analogy, episodic CBR, deterministic replay. Drop into Claude Code / Cursor / Codex / Gemini CLI in one line.

For Claude Code users: see neruva.io/claude-code for the 30-second install + first-queries to try.

What's new in 0.22.0 — Auto-pilot surface (the moat)

Two new tools complete the auto-pilot that makes the substrate use itself. The agent automatically routes user intents to the right cognitive primitive AND self-curates memory across sessions, without the user telling it which Neruva tool to call.

  • agent_route_intent_prompt — returns the canonical 18-pattern intent classifier (counterfactual / analogy / theory-of-mind / rule induction / causal / planning / recall / comparison / state / composition / decision / mistake + 6 code-graph navigation intents). Pair with NERUVA_AUTO_ROUTE=1 in neruva-record for hands-free routing on every user prompt.
  • agent_reflect_prompt — returns the canonical reflection prompt that extracts durable decisions / facts / mistakes / open questions from recent turns. Pair with NERUVA_AUTO_REFLECT=1 in neruva-record for hands-free self-curation. Next session boots with curated context, not raw transcript.

Both endpoints are pattern-C: substrate emits a prompt, caller LLM runs it in its normal turn, structured result pushed back via existing tools. Substrate stays $0/call. Combined with the existing hd_kg_extraction_prompt (Layer 1 — auto-extract on records_ingest), the three layers form a complete auto-pilot.

See neruva-record v0.11+ for the SDK that wires these into Claude Code's hook system automatically.

What's new in 0.21.0 — code-graph MCP tools

  • 5 new code_kg_* tools for sub-ms structural code queries against KGs built locally via neruva-record-code-index: code_kg_callees, code_kg_callers, code_kg_class_of, code_kg_module_of, code_kg_imports. Thin wrappers over hd_kg_query with "Call this when..." routing nudges.
  • Tool-description routing nudges. All high-leverage tools (records_*, agent_recall/context/remember, hd_kg_query, hd_analogy, hd_causal_query, agent_counterfactual_rollout, agent_model_belief(_add), agent_register_action, agent_plan_efe, agent_induce_rule, agent_extract_schema, agent_hierarchical_decode) lead with "Call this when..." so LLMs route into the right substrate primitive without explicit prompting.

What's new in 0.18.3 — depth-unlimited theory of mind + 125× faster cleanup

  • Theory of mind is now depth-unlimited (v0.5.4 substrate fix). Position-tagged at every chain index via non-commutative permutation binding. Inner-position swaps correctly reject; recursive self- reference (same agent at multiple chain positions) works natively.
  • Cleanup acceleration via FAISS-binary popcount. OPB query stage 2 uses SIMD popcount over sign-quantized atoms with deterministic float32 cosine rerank. Substantially faster on warm queries; replay bit-identical.
  • 551× compression on stored OPB pages (rank-12 SVD). Persistence blobs that were >100 MB now fit in under 1 MB at perfect recall on round-trip.

The 9-level cognitive ladder — no LLM vendor ships rows 3-9

The substrate now exposes the full 9-level cognitive ladder. Every primitive runs sub-100ms, deterministic from seed, behind one MCP install.

# Capability MCP tool(s) Frontier LLM equivalent
1 Vector retrieval (OPB pages + spectral routing) records_query(engine="opb") Pinecone/Zep (Level 1 only)
2 KG + Pearl do-operator + HD analogy + CBR hd_kg_* · agent_causal_query · hd_analogy · hd_cbr_* nobody
3 Theory of Mind (nested belief) agent_model_belief_add · agent_model_belief hallucinates at depth
4 Counterfactual rollouts ("what if k → a'?") agent_counterfactual_rollout confabulates
5 Schema lifting (analogical pattern matching) agent_extract_schema needs fine-tuning
6 Active Inference planning (Friston EFE) agent_register_action · agent_plan_efe not a primitive
7 Few-shot rule induction agent_induce_rule fine-tune (many examples)
8 Persistent rule storage agent_persist_rule · agent_recall_rule re-feed demos every recall
9 Continual learning, zero forgetting agent_continual_train · agent_continual_predict catastrophic forgetting
+ Hierarchical chunking (recursive L^K decode) agent_hierarchical_add · agent_hierarchical_decode not a primitive

~90 tools across Records, KG, Causal, Analogy, CBR, Blend, Vector memory, federated agent_*, the 9 cognitive primitives above, self-introspection.

Why this is unique

Every primitive in rows 3-9 is a graduated, production-shipped engine. No published memory vendor offers more than rows 1-2. Substrate-augmented small LLMs can match frontier-class agentic capabilities at a fraction of the cost per recall.

Install

# In Claude Code (any directory, user scope):
claude mcp add-json neruva '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@neruva/mcp@latest"],"env":{"NERUVA_API_KEY":"nv_..."}}'

Or one-line install via npx for any MCP host:

npx -y @neruva/mcp@latest    # one-off
npm i -g @neruva/mcp         # then `neruva-mcp`

The substrate, in one paragraph

Five layers, one API. Records = typed agentic events (decisions, mistakes, tool_calls, llm_turns; auto-embedded at D=1024). Knowledge Graph = mutable structured state across 5 engines, sub-ms cosine retrieval, matrix-power N-hop derive. Causal = Pearl's do-operator (observation vs intervention arithmetically distinct). Analogy = a:b::c:? in HD feature space. Concept Blending = provenance-preserving merge of multiple memories. CBR = factored episode store. The new federated agent_* layer (agent_remember / agent_recall / agent_context) routes across all substrates so a single call handles "where does X store, and how do I get it back?"

Deterministic from a seed. Replayable bit-exactly. Portable as .neruva containers — your data is yours.

Three-line LangChain integration

# pip install neruva-langchain
from neruva_langchain import NeruvaChatMessageHistory
history = NeruvaChatMessageHistory(namespace="user_alice")
# wire into any chain that takes BaseChatMessageHistory

Same pattern: neruva-langgraph (BaseCheckpointSaver + BaseStore), neruva-crewai (Storage interface + 3 memory flavors).

Auto-record for Claude Code

pip install neruva-record && neruva-record-install

Every Claude Code session lands in your Neruva account: tool calls, chat turns, secrets-redacted client-side, queryable across sessions.

Why use this over a vector DB or Zep

Vector DB Zep Neruva
KG engines 0 1 5
Causal queries (Pearl do-operator)
Provable replay (deterministic snapshot/restore)
Anomaly detection (quorum disagreement)
Federated context (records+KG one call) partial
Portable container .neruva
p95 latency varies varies <100ms
Cost per recall vs context-stuffing varies varies dramatically lower

Auth

Set NERUVA_API_KEY in env. NERUVA_URL defaults to https://api.neruva.io.

Optional: NERUVA_AUTO_RECORD=namespace[:ttl_days] — every tool call this agent makes auto-records into the named records namespace. Fire-and-forget, never blocks or breaks the call.

Update flow

The startup banner prints when a newer version is available:

[neruva-mcp] update available: you have 0.16.0, latest is 0.16.1.

If registered with @neruva/mcp@latest, a Claude Code restart auto-updates.
