Brainbox runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 44 installs a week from npm. Last commit 22 Feb 2026.
Hebbian memory for AI agents. Learns file patterns, predicts next tools, saves tokens.
What the code does
We read the source, 20 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df
What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
postinstall: node dist/cli.js install
stdout = execSync(cmd, { maxBuffer: 50 * 1024 * 1024, encoding: "utf-8", stdio: ["pipe", "pipe", "pipe"] });

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
