## Description
Persistent 4-tier AI memory (episodic, semantic, project, procedural) with temporal scoring, contradiction detection, entity tracking, and real-time desktop visualization orb.
## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `uvx` (confidence: high):
```json
"mcpServers": {
"jarvis-orb": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["aiosqlite"],
"env": {
"PYTHONPATH": ""
}
}
}
```
**Requires environment variables:** `PYTHONPATH` โ the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).

# Jarvis Orb โ Persistent Memory MCP Server + AI Brain Visualizer
### Not a tool. A presence.
*It remembers your decisions. It tracks your world. It glows on your desktop, alive.*

## The Problem
Every session, your AI starts over. Your decisions, your preferences, your project context โ gone. You explain yourself again. And again. And again.
- "We decided to use SQLite." โ Three days later, it suggests PostgreSQL.
- "This PR was merged yesterday." โ It doesn't know. It never remembers state.
- "What was the architecture decision?" โ Gone. The session ended.
## The Solution
**Jarvis Orb** gives your AI a persistent brain and shows its thought process as a living orb on your desktop.
[](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/thestack-ai/jarvis-orb)
| | Without Jarvis Orb | With Jarvis Orb |
|---|---|---|
| **Context** | Every session starts from zero | Carries over automatically |
| **Decisions** | Reversed decisions come back | Contradictions detected and filtered |
| **State** | "What's the status?" โ guess | Exact state + transition history |
| **Visibility** | No idea what it's thinking | Every thought, live on your screen |
## Install
**macOS (Apple Silicon) / Linux:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thestack-ai/jarvis-orb/main/install.sh | bash
```
> Requires Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4). Use the terminal command above for the smoothest install experience.
**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thestack-ai/jarvis-orb/main/install.ps1 | iex
```
That's it. Brain starts. Orb floats. Claude Code connects.
**Verify your install:**
```bash
jarvis-orb --doctor
```
### Supported Platforms
| Platform | Brain (MCP) | Orb (Desktop) |
|----------|-------------|---------------|
| macOS Apple Silicon (M1+) | Yes | Yes |
| macOS Intel | Yes | Yes |
| Windows x64 | Yes | Yes |
| Linux | Yes | Not yet |
### Cursor / Windsurf Setup
Add to your MCP config (`~/.cursor/mcp.json` or equivalent):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"jarvis-brain": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["-m", "jarvis_brain.mcp_server"],
"env": {
"PYTHONPATH": "~/.jarvis-orb/lib:~/.jarvis-orb"
}
}
}
}
```
### Uninstall
```bash
# Remove Brain + data
rm -rf ~/.jarvis-orb
# Remove from Claude Code
claude mcp remove jarvis-brain
# Remove Orb app (macOS)
rm -rf "/Applications/Jarvis Orb.app"
# Remove PATH entry from ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
# Delete the line: export PATH="$HOME/.jarvis-orb/bin:$PATH"
```

## Brain Lite
> Watch it think.
| # | Feature | Description |
|---|---------|-------------|
| 01 | **4-Tier Memory** | Episodic, semantic, project, procedural โ auto-classified and ranked by recency |
| 02 | **Temporal Scoring** | 30-day half-life decay. Recent memories surface first. Old context fades naturally |
| 03 | **Contradiction Detection** | Conflicting memories flagged. Superseded decisions marked stale. Only truth surfaces |
| 04 | **Entity Tracking** | Projects, PRs, decisions tracked as objects with full state transition history |
| 05 | **Relationship Storage** | People โ projects โ decisions connected as a lightweight knowledge graph |
| 06 | **FTS5 Search** | Full-text search across all memories with observation filtering |
### MCP Tools
```
memory_save Save a memory (auto-classified into 4 tiers)
memory_search Search with temporal scoring + contradiction filtering
memory_verify Mark memories as verified, superseded, or contradicted
entity_create Track a project, person, decision, or tool
entity_update Update entity state (records transition history)
entity_query Query entities by type or name
entity_relate Create relationships between entities
```
Works with **Claude Code**, **Cursor**, and any MCP-compatible tool.

## Orb
> Every thought, visible.
The orb is not decorative. It shows you what the brain is doing, in real time.
| Brain Event | Orb Response |
|------------|-------------|
| Memory saved | Particles absorb into orb |
| Contradiction detected | Red/orange pulse wave |
| Entity state changed | Cyan flash + scale pulse |
| Search executed | Violet color shift |
| Context compressed | Shrink, brighten, expand |
| Team dispatched | Orb splits into sub-orbs |
3MB desktop app. Always-on-top. Draggable. Click to see logs.

## In Practice
**Monday morning standup** โ *"What did we work on last week?"*
Brain searches episodic memories with temporal scoring. Returns a ranked summary. No digging through chat history.
**Mid-project contradiction** โ *"We should use Redis for caching."*
Brain detects this contradicts a previous decision. Flags the conflict. The orb pulses red. You see it happening.
**New session, no context loss** โ *"Continue where we left off."*
Brain loads project state, recent decisions, and your preferences. No re-explaining.

## Architecture
```
Claude Code / Cursor
โ MCP (stdio)
Brain Lite โ Python ยท aiosqlite ยท FTS5 ยท ~/.jarvis-orb/brain.db
โ WebSocket
Orb โ Tauri ยท Three.js ยท WebGL ยท 3MB ยท Always-on-top
```
| | |
|---|---|
| **3MB** | App size. Not 150MB. |
| **7** | MCP tools. Memory, entities, search. |
| **0** | Cloud dependencies. Everything local. |

## Origin
Jarvis Orb was extracted from a working AI control plane โ **Jarvis** โ running 19 modules, a knowledge graph with 100+ entities, 500+ memories, and 22 agent teams. This is the lightweight, open-source version of that brain.
> *"I built a personal AI operating system. After months of using it, I realized the core โ the brain and the visualization โ should be available to everyone."*
---
## Roadmap
- **Orb Customization** โ Custom orb skins, color themes, animation profiles
- **Brain Pro** โ Advanced memory with full knowledge graph, multi-model routing, autonomous reasoning loop
- **Auto-update** โ Seamless in-app updates
- **Plugin System** โ Extend Brain with custom MCP tools
