Install

Runtime: Node ≥ 22. Works with npm, pnpm, or bun.

npm install -g @apilium/mayros@latest
# or: pnpm add -g @apilium/mayros@latest

mayros onboard --install-daemon

The wizard sets up the Gateway, workspace, channels, and skills. It installs the Gateway as a background daemon (launchd/systemd) so it stays running.

The installer automatically downloads AIngle Cortex (the semantic memory sidecar). No separate install needed.

New install? Start here: Getting Started · Upgrading? Updating guide (and run mayros doctor)

Update

mayros update          # updates Mayros + Cortex automatically
# or: npm install -g @apilium/mayros@latest

Uninstall

mayros uninstall           # interactive — choose what to remove
mayros uninstall --all     # remove everything (service, state, workspace, cortex)
mayros uninstall --dry-run # preview without deleting

A detailed data loss warning is always shown before deletion — listing every category of data (knowledge graph, ventures, agent memory, decision history, etc.).

Multi-Channel Inbox

Mayros connects to the channels you already use. One assistant, everywhere.

Channel	Transport	Channel	Transport
WhatsApp	Baileys	Microsoft Teams	Bot Framework
Telegram	grammY	Matrix	matrix-js-sdk
Slack	Bolt	BlueBubbles	iMessage (recommended)
Discord	discord.js	iMessage	Legacy macOS
Google Chat	Chat API	Zalo / Personal	Extension
Signal	signal-cli	WebChat	Gateway WS

Security defaults: DM pairing — unknown senders get a pairing code. You approve with mayros pairing approve <channel> <code>. Public DMs require explicit opt-in.

---

Knowledge Graph (AIngle Cortex)

Mayros remembers. Not just conversation history — semantic knowledge stored as RDF triples in AIngle Cortex.

Three-tier memory:

1. MAYROS.md — flat-file persona and instructions, always loaded into the system prompt
2. AIngle Cortex — RDF triple store (subject → predicate → object) scoped by namespace. Optional: falls back to file-based memory when unavailable
3. Ineru STM/LTM — short-term and long-term memory with temporal recall

Built on top:

• Code indexer — scans your codebase → RDF triples in Cortex (incremental, only re-indexes changed files)
• Project memory — persists conventions, findings, and architecture decisions across sessions
• Smart compaction — extracts key information before context pruning
• Cross-session recall — injects relevant knowledge from previous sessions into new prompts

Design principles: namespace isolation (no cross-namespace reads), graceful degradation (Cortex is a sidecar, not an FFI binding), circuit breaker with exponential backoff.

CLI: mayros kg search|explore|query|stats|triples|namespaces|export|import

---

MCP Server

Mayros exposes its tools, resources, and prompts via the Model Context Protocol. Any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VSCode, Cursor, JetBrains — can discover and use Mayros capabilities.

Connect with Claude Desktop

# 1. Install Mayros
npm install -g @apilium/mayros@latest

# 2. Register with Claude Desktop (auto-detects paths, writes config)
mayros mcp-setup --desktop

# 3. Restart Claude Desktop — done
#    The tools icon appears in the chat input

Then in Claude Desktop, just talk naturally:

• "Remember that our API uses JWT tokens with 24h expiry" → stores in semantic memory
• "What do you know about our authentication?" → recalls from memory and knowledge graph
• "Store in the graph: project:api depends_on express v5" → creates an RDF triple
• "What's the memory status?" → shows STM/LTM/graph statistics

Connect with Claude Code

# From your terminal (not inside a Claude Code session)
mayros mcp-setup
# or manually:
claude mcp add mayros -- mayros serve --stdio

Connect with other MCP clients

# Start the HTTP server
mayros serve --http
# → MCP endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:19100/mcp
# → Legacy SSE:   http://127.0.0.1:19100/sse
# → Health check: http://127.0.0.1:19100/health

Point any MCP client to http://127.0.0.1:19100/mcp (Streamable HTTP) or http://127.0.0.1:19100/sse (legacy SSE for older clients).

Bring persistent memory to any AI coding tool

AI coding CLIs have no memory between sessions. Mayros + AIngle Cortex fill that gap: semantic knowledge graph, DAG audit trail, vector search, and ZK proofs — all local-first.

Any MCP-compatible client gets instant access to 45+ tools via a single command:

claude mcp add mayros -- mayros serve --stdio   # Claude Code
# Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot — coming soon

Built on the open Model Context Protocol standard — no vendor lock-in.

Intelligent Routing

Adaptive routing that learns and improves over time.

• Eruberu (Q-Learning model routing) — learns optimal provider/model per task type, budget level, and time slot
• Miteru (task-to-agent routing) — learns which agent handles each task type best via EMA scoring
• Hayameru (code transforms) — deterministic WASM transforms that bypass the LLM for simple edits (var→const, remove console, sort imports). 0 tokens, sub-millisecond

CLI: mayros routing status|strategy|reset

---

Multi-Agent Mesh

Agents that work together. Mayros supports coordinated multi-agent workflows with shared knowledge.

• Team manager — Cortex-backed lifecycle: create, assign roles, merge results, disband
• Workflow orchestrator — built-in workflows (code-review, research, refactor) + custom definitions
• Kimeru consensus — majority vote, weighted (EMA), LLM-arbitrated, Byzantine (PBFT with HMAC), Raft leader election
• Agent mailbox — persistent inter-agent messaging (send/inbox/outbox/archive)
• Background task tracker — long-running tasks with status and cancellation
• Git worktree isolation — each agent works in its own worktree to avoid conflicts
• Session fork/rewind — checkpoint-based exploration with rewind capability
• Kakeru bridge — dual-platform coordination (Claude + Codex CLI) with file lock coordination

CLI: mayros workflow run|list · mayros dashboard team|summary|agent · mayros tasks list|status|cancel|summary · mayros mailbox list|read|send|archive|stats

Kaneru — AI Venture Management

Kaneru turns Mayros into a full AI venture platform. Create organizations of agents that learn, coordinate, and improve over time — all stored in Cortex, all DAG-auditable.

Quick Start

# Install a pre-built venture template (security-audit, content-pipeline, devops-squad)
mayros kaneru dojo install --template security-audit --name "My Security Team"

# Or use the web portal Setup Wizard: open dashboard → Ventures → New Venture
mayros dashboard

Ventures & Missions

mayros kaneru venture create --name "Acme" --prefix ACM --directive "Ship fast" --fuel-limit 10000
mayros kaneru mission create --venture <id> --title "Audit auth module" --priority critical
mayros kaneru mission claim --mission <id> --agent scanner --run run-001
mayros kaneru mission transition --mission <id> --status review --run run-001
mayros kaneru comment add --mission <id> --author scanner --content "SQL injection found"

Agents That Learn

Agents build expertise profiles over time. Q-learning + EMA scoring routes missions to the best agent automatically.

mayros kaneru learn profile --agent scanner     # see agent expertise
mayros kaneru learn top --domain typescript --task-type security-scan  # best agents for a task
mayros kaneru route --mission "Fix SQL injection" --agents scanner,reviewer,fixer  # smart routing

mayros kaneru fuel summary --venture <id>           # spend overview
mayros kaneru fuel analytics --venture <id> --period weekly  # time-series + provider breakdown
mayros kaneru fuel forecast --venture <id>           # burn rate + days until exhausted

Decision Audit

mayros kaneru consensus --squad <id> --question "Ship or block?"
mayros kaneru decisions list --venture <id>
mayros kaneru decisions explain --decision <id>     # full reasoning with votes

Distributed Ventures (P2P)

mayros kaneru discover --venture <id>    # auto-discover peers via mDNS
mayros kaneru sync --venture <id>        # DAG-sync venture state with peers

Web Portal

The portal at http://localhost:18789 includes:

• Ventures tab — venture table, mission kanban, chain of command tree, fuel bars
• Kaneru tab — squads, Q-learning router, squad builder
• Canvas tab — A2UI surfaces (overview, missions, chain, fuel) — interactive, venture-aware
• Setup Wizard — 4-step guided venture creation (Venture → Agent → Mission → Launch)
• Command Bar (Ctrl+/) — Spotlight-style overlay with venture context and voice input
