Adds a `Clients` section pointing at the TypeScript SDK and the Model Context Protocol server for programmatic / LLM access to omnigraph-server. Both are published on npm and developed in ModernRelay/omnigraph-ts; this README is the canonical discovery surface so it should mention them. Notes the major.minor lockstep convention so users know which client version targets which server.

Omnigraph
Lakehouse native graph engine built for context assembly
Omnigraph acts as operational state & coordination layer for agents
- Git-style versioning & branching
- Multimodal retrieval (graph+vector/fts+filters) optimized for context assembly
- Object storage native (S3, RustFS)
- Native blob-as-data support (docs, images, videos, etc)
- VPC, On-prem, hybrid deployment
Lanceformat as open storage layer
| AS CODE | What it means |
|---|---|
| Schema AS CODE | Typed .pg schemas, planned, applied, enforced |
| Context AS CODE | Linted queries & agentic nudges, versioned and reusable |
| Security AS CODE | Cedar policies enforced server-side on every mutation |
| Dashboards AS CODE | Declarative views & controls over the graph (coming) |
Core Use Cases
| Use case | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Company brain | Org knowledge unified into one queryable graph |
| Context graph | Decision traces and codified tribal knowledge |
| Agentic memory | Durable, versioned memory for long-running agents |
| Dev graph | Issues & dependency model for coding agents |
| R&D data layer | Experiments & trials data written into branches |
| ML workflows | Versioned, branchable graphs for training & eval |
| Karpathy's LLM wiki | A living, agent-updatable knowledge base |
Quick Install
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ModernRelay/omnigraph/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
This installs omnigraph and omnigraph-server into ~/.local/bin from
published release binaries.
Or install with Homebrew:
brew tap ModernRelay/tap
brew install ModernRelay/tap/omnigraph
For starter graphs and agent skills to bootstrap and operate Omnigraph, see ModernRelay/omnigraph-cookbooks.
One-Command Local RustFS Bootstrap
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ModernRelay/omnigraph/main/scripts/local-rustfs-bootstrap.sh | bash
That bootstrap:
- starts RustFS on
127.0.0.1:9000 - creates a bucket and S3-backed graph
- loads the checked-in context fixture
- launches
omnigraph-serveron127.0.0.1:8080
Docker must be installed and running first.
The RustFS bootstrap prefers the rolling edge binaries and only falls back to
source builds when release assets are unavailable.
If a previous run left objects under the same graph prefix but did not finish
initializing the graph, rerun with RESET_REPO=1 or set PREFIX to a new
value.
Common Commands
The same URI works for local paths, s3://…, or http://host:port.
omnigraph init --schema ./schema.pg ./graph.omni
omnigraph load --data ./data.jsonl ./graph.omni
omnigraph read --query ./queries.gq --name get_person --params '{"name":"Alice"}' ./graph.omni
omnigraph change --query ./queries.gq --name insert_person --params '{"name":"Mina"}' ./graph.omni
omnigraph branch create --from main feature-x ./graph.omni
omnigraph branch merge feature-x --into main ./graph.omni
See docs/user/cli.md for schema apply, snapshots, ingest, commits, and policy commands.
Clients
For programmatic access to a running omnigraph-server:
-
TypeScript SDK —
@modernrelay/omnigraph(source). Instance-per-client, typed errors, camelCase types, async-iterator streaming export.npm install @modernrelay/omnigraph -
Model Context Protocol server —
@modernrelay/omnigraph-mcp(source). Bridges Omnigraph to LLM hosts (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, …) over stdio. Exposes tools and resources for schema, branches, queries, mutations, ingest, and bundles curated best-practices guidance from the cookbook.npm install -g @modernrelay/omnigraph-mcp
Both packages are versioned in lockstep with omnigraph-server on major.minor: @modernrelay/omnigraph@X.Y.* targets omnigraph-server@X.Y.*. See ModernRelay/omnigraph-ts for the monorepo.

Build And Test
cargo build --workspace
cargo check --workspace
cargo test --workspace
Notes:
- Rust stable toolchain, edition 2024
- CI runs
cargo test --workspace --locked - Full CI and some local test flows require
protobuf-compiler - S3 integration tests expect an S3-compatible endpoint such as RustFS
