> *Your AI agents forget everything between sessions. Connapse fixes that.*

Every time you start a new conversation, your AI agent starts from zero — no memory of past research, no access to your documents, no accumulated knowledge. Connapse is an open-source knowledge backend that gives agents persistent, searchable memory. Upload documents or point it at your existing Amazon S3 buckets, Azure Blob Storage containers, or local filesystems. Agents query and build their own research corpus via 11 MCP tools, REST API, or CLI. Container-isolated, hybrid search (vector + keyword), self-hosted and private. Deploy in 60 seconds with Docker. Built on .NET 10.

## 📦 Quick Start

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Destrayon/Connapse.git && cd Connapse && docker-compose up -d
# Open http://localhost:5001
```

### Prerequisites

- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) & [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
- [.NET 10 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) (for development)
- (Optional) [Ollama](https://ollama.ai/) for local embeddings

### Run with Docker Compose

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Destrayon/Connapse.git
cd Connapse

# Set required auth environment variables (or use a .env file)
export CONNAPSE_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com
export CONNAPSE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=YourSecurePassword123!
export Identity__Jwt__Secret=$(openssl rand -base64 64)

# Start all services (PostgreSQL, MinIO, Web App)
docker-compose up -d

# Open http://localhost:5001 — log in with the admin credentials above
```

The first run will:
1. Pull Docker images (~2-5 minutes)
2. Initialize PostgreSQL with pgvector extension and run EF Core migrations
3. Create MinIO buckets
4. Seed the admin account (from env vars) and start the web application

### Development Setup

```bash
# Start infrastructure only (database + object storage)
docker-compose up -d postgres minio

# Run the web app locally
dotnet run --project src/Connapse.Web

# Run all tests
dotnet test

# Run just unit tests
dotnet test --filter "Category=Unit"
```
