Booboo Overview

Booboo MCP server exposes a rooted graph of system structure, knowledge, memory, agents, and automations through MCP. It reads a Booboo JSON snapshot and can optionally use an organization file for agent-related context. Agents can inspect graph statistics, search and fetch nodes, explore neighborhoods, trace paths, and write durable memories or reports. Use it when an AI system needs one queryable view across operational data and agent state.

Primary Use Cases for Booboo:
  • Inspect graph structure before querying detailed records
  • Trace relationships between agents, knowledge, and system components
  • Retrieve an agent's organization-backed boot context
  • Store durable agent memories and completion reports
