FAQ

Does Agent Brain send my code to a cloud service?

No. Agent Brain is self-hosted. Memories and core memory operations run on your machine or infrastructure.

Which agents can use it?

Supported connection options:

  • MCP clients can use http://localhost:3100/mcp and the unified brain tool
  • REST clients can use http://localhost:9090/api/v1
  • Common coding tools and custom scripts are supported

Do I need Docker?

No. The desktop app starts the local services it needs automatically. Docker Desktop or Docker Engine with the Compose plugin is only needed when running the source or Compose stack directly.

Is Agent Brain free?

Yes.

  • Community is free and available from the download page
  • Pro adds unlimited memories, semantic cache, and desktop backup
  • Upgrade in-app after installing

Is Pro checkout live?

Yes. Click Get Pro on the pricing page to subscribe monthly or annually.

Can I use Community for commercial work?

No — Community is for personal and non-commercial use only. If you are using Agent Brain as part of paid work, a business, or a team, you need a Pro or Enterprise license.

Why use Agent Brain instead of normal chat history?

Chat history is limited to one tool and one session. Agent Brain adds:

  • Shared memory across tools
  • Durable recall across sessions
  • Semantic cache checks
  • Governance for cleanup and review

What should I store?

Good candidates include:

  • Decisions
  • Architecture constraints
  • Recurring errors and fixes
  • Project conventions
  • Environment requirements
  • Preferences future agents should know
