Why Aiqbee Brains?

Save tokens, save money

A CLAUDE.md or .cursorrules file is loaded into every conversation — every token, every time. A brain with 500+ neurons would blow up your context window and cost.

With Aiqbee, your instructions file just tells the agent when to search the brain. The agent fetches only the 2-3 neurons it needs for the current task. The rest stays out of context.

Real example: Our own Product Development Brain holds 200+ neurons covering architecture decisions, coding patterns, lesson learned recipes, UI standards, and cross-repo conventions. An agent working on a frontend task searches for "UI pattern" and gets 3 relevant neurons (~800 tokens) instead of loading the entire knowledge base (~50,000+ tokens). That's a 98% reduction in context usage per conversation.

Live database, not a file in a repo

Brains are shared, real-time databases. When someone writes a neuron, it's immediately available to every user and agent with access. No commit, no push, no PR review cycle — just instant knowledge sharing.

This matters because:

• Sub-agents running in parallel can write findings to the brain and read each other's results in real time
• Autonomous agents can continuously update patterns and lessons learned as they work, without interrupting the developer
• Cross-project knowledge (API contracts, deployment patterns, security standards) is always current — not stale documentation waiting for someone to update a wiki

Teams, not just tools

Brains aren't just for code. Product managers, marketing, QA, and developers all contribute to and consume from the same knowledge graph:

Example workflow:

1. A marketing manager searches the brain for existing functionality, then adds a product requirement neuron describing a new feature needed
2. A developer's AI assistant finds the requirement during its pre-task brain search, implements the feature, and creates neurons documenting the new API endpoints, patterns used, and any lessons learned
3. The marketing manager immediately sees the updated product documentation — no waiting for code review, merge, or deployment
4. Meanwhile, autonomous agents running overnight capture additional patterns and link related neurons together, continuously enriching the brain

This collapses the feedback loop from days (write spec → implement → document → review → publish) to minutes.

Installation

From VS Code Marketplace

Install Aiqbee MCP Brains — or search for "Aiqbee MCP Brains" in the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X).

From Source

git clone https://github.com/aiqbee/aiqbee-mcp-brains.git
cd aiqbee-mcp-brains
npm install
cd webview-ui && npm install && cd ..
npm run compile

Press F5 in VS Code to launch the Extension Development Host.

Usage

1. Click the Aiqbee icon in the Activity Bar (left sidebar).
2. Sign in with your Aiqbee account.
3. Your brains appear in a compact list.
4. Click the graph icon to visualise a brain's knowledge structure.
5. Click the + button to add an MCP connection to your project.
6. Use the Help and Prompts tabs for guidance and ready-to-use prompts.

Tip: After adding an MCP connection for the first time, restart VS Code or reload your AI assistant's window for it to pick up the new server.
