MCP (Model Context Protocol)

MCP is a protocol for connecting external tools to AI assistants. With MCP servers, BraceKit can:

  • Search the web (Google, Brave Search)
  • Read and write files
  • Query databases
  • Access APIs
  • And much more

Quick Setup

  1. Create a .mcp.json file in your project
  2. Add server configurations
  3. BraceKit automatically connects
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "./"]
    }
  }
}

Memory System

The memory system lets BraceKit remember information across conversations:

  • Personal preferences
  • Coding style
  • Project context
  • Goals and interests

How it Works

  1. Enable memory in Settings
  2. Chat normally
  3. BraceKit extracts important information
  4. Future conversations include relevant memories

→ Memory system guide

Auto-Compact

Long conversations eventually hit token limits. Auto-compact automatically summarizes old messages to make room for new ones.

When it Triggers

  • At 90% of context window (configurable)
  • Or manually with /compact command

→ Auto-compact guide

Image Generation

Generate images directly in chat using Gemini or xAI models.

Quick Start

  1. Select an image generation model
  2. Choose aspect ratio
