**Cortex** is a patent-pending semantic memory infrastructure developed by SKYNETLAB (Bergamo, Italy). Connected to your AI assistant as a remote MCP connector, it lets your conversations **save decisions, context and sources — and find them again in every later session**. Your AI remembers, and can show *why* it remembers.

Why Cortex is not "just another memory plugin"
Most memory tools for AI agents record what the agent did and retrieve similar text later. Cortex models **what is true and how reliable it is**:
| Capability | What it means |
|---|---|
| **Quality Gate on write** | Every memory passes a novelty/redundancy check before being stored. No junk accumulation. |
| **Typed claims & conflict tracking** | Facts are extracted as claims; contradictions between memories are detected and tracked, not silently overwritten. |
| **Knowledge graph** | Memories are linked by entities and typed relations, not just vector similarity. |
| **Coherence metric (Ψ_C)** | Each memory carries a native coherence score — the system knows how well a memory fits what it already knows. |
| **Memory consolidation ("REM")** | A continuous background cycle consolidates episodic memories into long-term knowledge. |
| **Transparent evidence** | Answers can cite the memories and sources they come from. |
Cortex runs on globally distributed edge infrastructure operated in the **European Union**. The memory engine is covered by Italian patent application **UIBM 102026000014026** (filed 15 May 2026).
Quick start — Claude (web / desktop / mobile)
Requirements: a Claude plan that supports custom connectors (the "Connectors" entry appears in Settings). No Cortex account needed beforehand — it is created on first sign-in.
1. In Claude open **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**
2. Paste this URL and confirm:
3. Authorize access on the Cortex consent page (Google or email sign-in). Your personal memory space is created automatically, isolated from every other user.
That's it. Talk to Claude as usual: *"Remember that we chose supplier X"*, *"what did we decide about the budget?"*, *"show me the sources for this claim"*. Claude picks the right tool on its own.
Quick start — Claude Code
Then authenticate when prompted (/mcp shows connection status).
Quick start — other MCP clients (stdio bridge)
For MCP clients that don't support remote connectors natively, use the mcp-remote bridge. Example configuration (see examples/):
Quick start — this repository as a local stdio server
This repository also ships a small **stdio MCP server** (server/) that exposes the Cortex tools locally and forwards every call to the hosted service. It is meant for MCP clients, registries and evaluators that need a local process: it starts, lists its seven tools and answers introspection with no configuration at all; tool calls are forwarded when an access token is set.
