Synapse Layer — Trust Infrastructure for AI Agents
Persistent memory for Claude and other MCP clients, backed by encrypted storage and semantic search. Exposes 13 tools including recall, save_to_synapse, and neural_handover for cross-session context. Memories are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and indexed via pgvector for semantic retrieval. Works standalone via Python SDK or connects to their Forge cloud API for cross-agent memory sharing. Integrates with Claude Desktop, Cursor, LangChain, and CrewAI. Reach for this when you need your agent to remember user preferences, prior decisions, or conversation context across sessions without rebuilding RAG infrastructure from scratch.

Install
From registry metadata$ npx add-mcp https://forge.synapselayer.org/api/mcp --name synapse-layer --header 'x-connect-token: ${X_CONNECT_TOKEN}'Run in your terminal. add-mcp asks which agents to add it to, then asks for each value it needs. Add -g to install it for every project.
Review the command, arguments and environment values before installing. MCP servers run with your local permissions.
Other ways
Claude Code
$ claude mcp add --transport http synapse-layer https://forge.synapselayer.org/api/mcp --header 'x-connect-token: YOUR_X_CONNECT_TOKEN'Run in your terminal. Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Readme
🧠 Synapse Layer
RAG retrieves. Synapse remembers.
Persistent memory infrastructure for AI agents — AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, semantic search, MCP-native.
Synapse Layer is open-source persistent memory infrastructure for AI agents and assistants. Memories are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, indexed via pgvector HNSW for semantic recall, and exposed through MCP JSON-RPC for native integration with Claude, GPT, Gemini, and any MCP-compatible client. Apache 2.0 licensed.
Status and limits: see FEATURES.md — the public contract for what is shipped, gated, experimental or roadmap.
