Jarvis Orb — Persistent Memory MCP Server + AI Brain Visualizer

Not a tool. A presence.

It remembers your decisions. It tracks your world. It glows on your desktop, alive.

The Problem

Every session, your AI starts over. Your decisions, your preferences, your project context — gone. You explain yourself again. And again. And again.

  • "We decided to use SQLite." → Three days later, it suggests PostgreSQL.
  • "This PR was merged yesterday." → It doesn't know. It never remembers state.
  • "What was the architecture decision?" → Gone. The session ended.

The Solution

Jarvis Orb gives your AI a persistent brain and shows its thought process as a living orb on your desktop.

Without Jarvis OrbWith Jarvis Orb
ContextEvery session starts from zeroCarries over automatically
DecisionsReversed decisions come backContradictions detected and filtered
State"What's the status?" → guessExact state + transition history
VisibilityNo idea what it's thinkingEvery thought, live on your screen

Install

macOS (Apple Silicon) / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thestack-ai/jarvis-orb/main/install.sh | bash

Requires Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4). Use the terminal command above for the smoothest install experience.

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thestack-ai/jarvis-orb/main/install.ps1 | iex

That's it. Brain starts. Orb floats. Claude Code connects.

Verify your install:

jarvis-orb --doctor
Supported Platforms

Add to your MCP config (~/.cursor/mcp.json or equivalent):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jarvis-brain": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["-m", "jarvis_brain.mcp_server"],

      }
    }
  }
}
Uninstall
# Remove Brain + data
rm -rf ~/.jarvis-orb

# Remove from Claude Code
claude mcp remove jarvis-brain

# Remove Orb app (macOS)
rm -rf "/Applications/Jarvis Orb.app"

# Remove PATH entry from ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
# Delete the line: export PATH="$HOME/.jarvis-orb/bin:$PATH"

Brain Lite

Watch it think.

#FeatureDescription
014-Tier MemoryEpisodic, semantic, project, procedural — auto-classified and ranked by recency
02Temporal Scoring30-day half-life decay. Recent memories surface first. Old context fades naturally
03Contradiction DetectionConflicting memories flagged. Superseded decisions marked stale. Only truth surfaces
04Entity TrackingProjects, PRs, decisions tracked as objects with full state transition history
05Relationship StoragePeople → projects → decisions connected as a lightweight knowledge graph
06FTS5 SearchFull-text search across all memories with observation filtering
MCP Tools
memory_save      Save a memory (auto-classified into 4 tiers)
memory_search    Search with temporal scoring + contradiction filtering
memory_verify    Mark memories as verified, superseded, or contradicted
entity_create    Track a project, person, decision, or tool
entity_update    Update entity state (records transition history)
entity_query     Query entities by type or name
entity_relate    Create relationships between entities

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible tool.


Orb

Every thought, visible.

The orb is not decorative. It shows you what the brain is doing, in real time.

3MB desktop app. Always-on-top. Draggable. Click to see logs.


In Practice

Monday morning standup — "What did we work on last week?" Brain searches episodic memories with temporal scoring. Returns a ranked summary. No digging through chat history.

Mid-project contradiction — "We should use Redis for caching." Brain detects this contradicts a previous decision. Flags the conflict. The orb pulses red. You see it happening.

New session, no context loss — "Continue where we left off." Brain loads project state, recent decisions, and your preferences. No re-explaining.

Origin

Jarvis Orb was extracted from a working AI control plane — Jarvis — running 19 modules, a knowledge graph with 100+ entities, 500+ memories, and 22 agent teams. This is the lightweight, open-source version of that brain.

"I built a personal AI operating system. After months of using it, I realized the core — the brain and the visualization — should be available to everyone."


Roadmap

  • Orb Customization — Custom orb skins, color themes, animation profiles
  • Brain Pro — Advanced memory with full knowledge graph, multi-model routing, autonomous reasoning loop
  • Auto-update — Seamless in-app updates
  • Plugin System — Extend Brain with custom MCP tools
