New / early find
New / early find: first tested 2026-11-11. Tested PyPI Brain4Agent 0.0.3 (repo SparkofSpike/Brain4Agent, Apache-2.0 on GitHub but no license field in the PyPI metadata; 98 GitHub stars when tested, created 2026-11-08; not listed on Glama or mcp.so when checked, PulseMCP not checked). CJK-first local memory for agents (SQLite). Launched as documented with `python -m brain4agent.mcp_server`: initialize and tools/list succeeded with no credentials and listed 5 tools. Real calls: b4a_remember stored a turn, b4a_recall found it with a score and missing-term report, b4a_session returned the session, b4a_stats returned counts. b4a_ask was not called (needs a model).
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 4 of 4 calls passed. b4a_ask (needs an LLM) not called. Evidence: local test run, Nov 11, 2026.
Transport (tested 2026-11-11): stdio
Token cost (estimate): approx. 617 tokens, cl100k estimate (5 tools, measured 2026-11-11, version 0.0.3). This is an estimate from our testing of the tool names, descriptions and input schemas, counted with cl100k_base.

What we tested and what we didn't
Tested on 2026-11-11
- Install from the registry
- We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 5 tools (Method details: MCP
initializethentools/list) - Maintenance signals (last push, archived/deprecated status)
- Docs (README length, install and config example)
- License (OSI-approved or not)
- Token cost (estimate)
Not tested
- Security: not audited (no code review, no permission or data-flow analysis)
- Real tasks (no functional task runs yet)
- Behaviour with real credentials or a real account
- Performance, rate limits or load
- Correctness of results beyond the listed tasks
Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
