Reverie Overview

The Reverie MCP server connects AI agents to a Neo4j knowledge graph for persistent, relationship-aware memory. It provides tools to search, create, update, and remove labeled memories and their connections, using hybrid keyword and semantic retrieval with local embeddings by default. Agents can inspect graph statistics, list labels, run restricted read-only Cypher, and use dream to consolidate duplicates and refresh embeddings. Reach for it when an agent needs shared memory across conversations or a structured graph of entities, rather than an unconnected fact store.

Primary Use Cases for Reverie:
  • Store entities and relationships across agent conversations
  • Search graph memory with keyword and semantic matching
  • Traverse connected people, projects, and organizations
  • Run scheduled graph cleanup with dream
