Lobu Overview

Lobu MCP server gives agents a shared, event-sourced context layer for connected accounts, company systems, devices, and conversations. It records events, links them to identities and typed entities, and lets authorized agents search memory, query current context, inspect sources, save information, and delegate work to persistent specialists. Authentication, permissions, approvals, provenance, credential brokering, and audit remain server-side. Reach for Lobu when multiple agents or people need the same durable organizational context instead of rebuilding state in every session.

Primary Use Cases for Lobu:
  • Search shared company decisions and project history
  • Save durable memory from agent conversations
  • Query customer, project, or incident context
  • Delegate recurring research or support work to a specialist
