01
Search memory
Find relevant memories in the authenticated user's hippocampOS workspace and return compact, citation-ready results.
Read-only MCP connector
Connect your private memory
Use one OAuth-protected MCP endpoint to bring the right context from your named brains into Claude, ChatGPT, or Claude Code.
Read-only capabilities
What the connector can do
02
Read a result
Retrieve the full text and source metadata for one result that came from a memory search.
03
List brains
Show the named brains available to the authenticated user, including Master Brain for an all-brains view.
04
Invoke a brain
Retrieve relevant context from one named brain, or from Master Brain when the user explicitly chooses it.
What it cannot do
The public connector has no write or delete tools. It cannot change hippocampOS data, inspect billing or account settings, retrieve connector credentials, or query Claude chat history and files.
Before connecting
Sign in to hippocampOS, complete plan selection, and populate at least one brain. The connector only returns memories available to the user who completes OAuth authorization.
Authorization and privacy
Access stays user-scoped
OAuth grants only brains:read and search:read. Every request is resolved against the authorized hippocampOS user and workspace. Claude receives only the context returned for the request.
Test after authorization
- 01
Invoke my Work brain. What context do you have about the launch plan? - 02
Invoke Hippocampos and show me the brains I can choose from. - 03
Search my hippocampOS memory for the latest discussion about onboarding.
If authorization becomes stale, remove the connector in Claude and add it again so OAuth discovery creates a fresh connection.
In Claude Code, run /mcp to review status, authenticate, or clear the saved connection.
