Today we’re releasing Brainy, a high-performance, cross-platform database that combines vector search, graph relationships, and live data pipelines. Brainy is built for AI-native applications that need to run anywhere.
Brainy is:
🧠 MCP-Enabled - External AI models can access data and invoke augmentations as tools
⚙️ Cross-Environment - Runs in browser, Node.js, server, containers - no setup friction
🔗 Graph + Vector Native - Model your world with nouns, verbs, and semantic embeddings
🔄 Streaming + Sync - Process data in motion and sync across clients via WebSocket/WebRTC
🧩 Fully Extensible - Pluggable embeddings, distance functions, storage adapters, and augmentations
🌱 Open Value - MIT licensed. No usage restrictions, no vendor lock-in
Why Brainy?
We built Brainy because most vector and graph solutions either don’t run everywhere or carry licenses that restrict real use. Brainy was designed from the start to be different: portable, adaptive, open.
📦 Try it: npm install @soulcraft/brainy

If you’re building AI apps that live across the stack - not just in the cloud - Brainy gives you the power and control to build intelligently.
Released in collaboration with Soulcraft, Brainy is also the backend powering Cartographer, our community intelligence platform. Follow this blog for updates about the open-source release of Brainy-backed Cartographer in the coming weeks!
