Lobu — Give every agent a live model of your world

Lobu is an open-source, event-sourced context layer for AI agents.Every tool call, data change, device signal, API event, and conversation becomes an event, linked to the entities and identities it belongs to — a person, a project, a customer, a home, a company. That gives agents a live, queryable model of your world instead of a transcript they forget when the session ends.

ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and your own agents read and write that same permission-aware history and current context, whether you're wiring up your own accounts or an entire company's stack. When a responsibility should outlive one chat, any agent can discover and hand it to a persistent Lobu specialist over MCP.

Connect your tools once. Every agent resumes from the same live context.

The 86-second narrated demo shows ChatGPT using Lobu over MCP to pull connected context and call governed tools without leaving the conversation. The same shared context remains available to Claude, Codex, and custom agents.

Complete OAuth when prompted, connect the sources you want to share, and ask your agent to use Lobu when it needs shared context.

Ask from Claude Code, Codex, or ChatGPT:

What did we decide about enterprise onboarding, and what changed since the last release?

Lobu searches shared, durable organizational memory under the caller's permissions, regardless of which agent asks. The answer can combine connected discussions, project activity, customer records, saved decisions, and typed company entities without rebuilding that context from scratch in every chat.

Hand work to a persistent Lobu specialist

Ask our customer-researcher specialist to review the latest feedback and propose the next three interviews.

The agent discovers the specialists available to you, selects the right one, delegates the task, and brings the result back. The specialist has its own identity, instructions, tools, durable conversations, and access policy.

To the user this stays one conversation in their primary agent. The specialist itself persists: it remains available to other authorized people and agents instead of disappearing with the current chat.

Instead of every agent rebuilding the same state through per-session tool calls, Lobu runs a shared data layer:

- Connect once.Polls, webhooks, APIs, and agent-written connectors feed one append-only event log.
- Know once.Events can be indexed as searchable knowledge and linked to typed entities such as companies, projects, incidents, and customers.
- Use from any agent.Authorized MCP clients read and contribute to the same organizational state according to their grants.
- Delegate when useful.Persistent Lobu specialists can own a role, conversation history, tools, and recurring responsibilities.
- Keep control.Identity, source permissions, approvals, credential brokering, provenance, and audit stay server-side.

MCP is for doing. Lobu's event graph is for knowing.

The primitives don't change between a single person's accounts and an entire company's stack — only what's connected does. Identities, entities, events, history, and policy work the same way at either scope.

1. Add shared context to existing agents

Agents can search and save memory, query structured entities, inspect connected sources, and delegate to Lobu specialists without moving to a new chat interface or adopting Lobu's runtime.

Create a specialist for a durable responsibility: customer research, support triage, release coordination, incident follow-up, or an internal domain. People can talk to it from the Lobu web app or Slack, while other agents can call the same specialist over MCP.

npx @lobu/cli@latest init my-specialist cd my-specialist npx @lobu/cli@latest run npx @lobu/cli@latest chat -c local "hello"

lobu runstarts the local stack with an embedded Postgres database by default and opens the web UI on:8787. It applies the project'slobu.config.tsautomatically only in embedded mode. To use external Postgres, setDATABASE_URL, ensure pgvector is available, then authenticate and apply the project to that runtime separately.

3. Build with the CLI and TypeScript SDK

The same governed data and operations are available without an agent:

npx @lobu/cli@latest memory run # list the memory tools npx @lobu/cli@latest memory run search_memory '{"query":"onboarding"}' npx @lobu/cli@latest memory exec \ 'export default async (_ctx, client) => client.entities.list({ limit: 5 })'
import { client, searchMemory } from "@lobu/client"; client.setConfig({ baseUrl: "https://lobu.ai", headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${process.env.LOBU_TOKEN} }, }); const hits = await searchMemory({ path: { orgSlug: "my-org" }, body: { query: "onboarding" }, });

Mint a token withlobu token create. The MCP tools and typed SDK operations share the server-side tool registry and access rules;lobu memory runandlobu memory execdispatch through the MCP endpoint.

Connectorscollect activity on a schedule or through webhooks. Discussions, project changes, customer records, API events, and saved agent knowledge land in the same append-only history.

Typed entities connect that history to the things you care about:Company,Project,Customer,Incident, or schemas you define. Corrections supersede old facts rather than erasing their provenance.

Connectors are extensible. You can build them in TypeScript, and coding agents can use Lobu's connector contract and validation flow to create integrations for sources Lobu does not ship with.

A Lobu specialist has a stable role, instructions, memory, tools, and conversation history. It can be reached from web chat or Slack and called by external agents throughclient.conversations.send.

Specialists use role files for identity and instructions:IDENTITY.md,SOUL.md, andUSER.md. Guardrails can inspect input, output, and tool calls. Destructive MCP calls require in-thread approval unless they are explicitly pre-approved throughdefineAgent({ tools: { preApproved } })inlobu.config.ts; action results return to the shared event log.

External agents do not ask users to write delegation code. They pass scripts like these to Lobu'squery_sdkandrun_sdkMCP tools:

// Discover specialists through query_sdk. export default async (_ctx, client) => { const { agents } = await client.agents.list(); return agents; };
// Delegate through run_sdk and wait for the specialist's reply. export default async (_ctx, client) => { return client.conversations.send({ agent_id: "customer-researcher", thread: "enterprise-onboarding", text: "Review the latest customer feedback and propose the next three interviews.", }); };

Automations are versioned background responsibilities activated manually, on a schedule, by a connector event, or by another Automation's durable output. They read governed sources, persist structured results, and can notify Slack, open a ticket, or start agent work while nobody is in chat.

Shared context and delegation over MCP do not require Lobu to execute code for the calling agent. When a Lobu specialist needs a shell, the built-in runtime provides lightweightjust-bashexecution. Remote sandbox providers such as Vercel Sandbox can be connected for workloads that need stronger isolation or more compute.

Which sandbox runs the code is a deployment choice. Lobu provides the shared context, permissions, and governance around it.

Lobu specialists can serveSlack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Teams, Google Chat, the web app, and aREST API. Channel conversations remain separate while reading the same authorized organizational context.

- Agent frameworkshelp developers implement an agent loop. Lobu gives agents and people a shared organizational state and a place to keep persistent specialists.
- Direct MCP integrationsexpose tools from one provider. Lobu continuously builds durable, cross-source context that every authorized agent can reuse.
- Agent runtimeshost a particular agent. Lobu lets people keep using Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, or their own runtime and add Lobu only where shared context or delegation is useful.
- Workflow enginesencode a graph of predetermined steps. Lobu Automations handle durable triggers and background responsibilities, while agents decide how to complete open-ended work.

Runtime configuration is managed through the web app or the same org-scoped REST API used by the CLI. Locallobu.config.tsprojects support validation and repeatable apply workflows.

Use the embedded runtime locally or self-host Lobu with external Postgres. Production guides:Docker·Cloud·Kubernetes

Permissions and audit stay on Lobu's gateway. Lobu MCP servers and the credential-brokering layer handle provider and connector credentials, OAuth and token refresh, and third-party API proxying. Workers receive scoped placeholders or short-lived provider-derived access, never OAuth tokens or durable stored credentials. Destructive MCP calls require in-thread approval unless explicitly pre-approved, and connected data remains organization-scoped.

The built-injust-bashand embedded execution modes are policy and convenience boundaries, not VMs for hostile code. Use a remote sandbox provider when the workload needs a stronger isolation boundary.
