Authenticate to BrainKB with the user's credentials and cache the JWT for
THIS session only (isolated per caller). The password/token are never echoed.
Uses single sign-on: one login mints a refresh token, cached for THIS session,
which is exchanged on demand for per-service access tokens (query_service,
usermanagement, …). Falls back to a legacy per-service token if the backend
has no SSO. On the hosted multi-user remote you can skip this and instead have
your client send an 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' header (a refresh token
unlocks all services).
输入参数email必填base_urlpassword必填
Start an OAuth login (Globus / ORCID / GitHub) for THIS session — use this
instead of brainkb_login when the user signs in with Globus rather than a
password. Returns a URL to open in a browser; after signing in, the page shows
a short one-time code — pass it to brainkb_finish_login(code) to complete.
(The browser step is unavoidable: only the user can consent at the provider.)
输入参数base_urlprovider
Complete an OAuth login started with brainkb_globus_login by exchanging the
one-time code shown in the browser for a session token. The code is single-use
and never echoed back.
输入参数code必填base_url
Forget the cached token for this session.
无需输入参数。
Report the current caller's auth state (email, authenticated, and when the
cached session expires). When signed in it also returns base_url — the backend
THIS SERVER talks to, which on a hosted deployment is an internal address and
says nothing about the caller's own machine.
无需输入参数。
Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) for browser-free auth. Requires you
to be logged in already (brainkb_login or brainkb_globus_login). The token is
shown ONCE and never again — copy it and set it as BRAINKB_TOKEN in your
MCP/skill config; then no login or browser is needed until it expires.
`name`: a label so you can tell tokens apart (e.g. 'laptop'). `days`: lifetime
(default 90, server-capped). Treat the returned token like a password.
输入参数daysname
List your Personal Access Tokens (metadata only — the secret is never
shown): id, name, prefix, created/last-used/expiry, and whether each is
active/revoked/expired. Use the id with brainkb_revoke_token.
无需输入参数。
Revoke one of your Personal Access Tokens by id (see brainkb_list_tokens).
Takes effect immediately — the next call using that token fails.
输入参数token_id必填
Use a Personal Access Token (brainkb_pat_...) for THIS session — an
alternative to setting BRAINKB_TOKEN in the config. Validates the token, then
caches it so subsequent calls authenticate with it. The token is never echoed.
输入参数token必填base_url
List spaces the user can see (their own/member spaces + public ones), each
annotated with THIS caller's permission so you know what they may do:
- your_role: 'owner' | 'editor' | 'viewer' | null (their space membership,
including a role inherited from a parent space)
- role_inherited: the role comes from a parent space, not this one
- parent_slug: the parent space, when this is a subspace the caller can see
the parent of (build the tree from it)
- is_owner: they own the space
- access: 'owner' | 'member' | 'public' (how it's available to them)
- can_write: their space role permits ingest (owner/editor) — a real ingest
also needs the 'ingest' capability + any per-space access rules.
Use this to tell the user which spaces they can read vs. write vs. only see as
public.
No login needed: an unauthenticated caller gets the public spaces only
(read-only). Log in to also see your own/member spaces.
`owner` is shown only for spaces the caller is a member of; a public space
read by a non-member never exposes its owner's email.
无需输入参数。
Create a workspace/space, or a subspace inside one. The caller becomes owner.
slug: lowercase/hyphen id, **globally unique** — if it's already taken the call
returns 409 (pick another slug).
visibility: 'private' or 'public' (set per space: a private space may hold a
public subspace);
description: short human description (recommended — surfaces in the registry);
space_type: 'individual' (a personal space — any write-capable role) or 'team'
(a shared space — only Admin/SuperAdmin, or a user granted create_team_space).
parent_slug: create it as a **subspace** of that space (any depth). Needs the
right to manage the parent; the subspace takes the parent's space_type, and
everyone with a role in the parent (or above) gets the same role in it. A
subspace can't be moved to another parent later.
输入参数name必填slug必填space_typevisibilitydescriptionparent_slug
A space's details: graphs, members (direct, plus `inherited_members` with the
parent space each comes from), visibility, `parent_slug`, `ancestors` (root
first) and direct `subspaces` — only the ones the caller may see — and the
caller's `your_role` / `role_inherited`. Public spaces need no login; member
emails are shown to members and admins only.
输入参数slug必填
A space and every subspace below it (any depth), nested: each node has slug,
name, visibility, the caller's role and whether it's inherited from a parent,
and its graph count. Only subspaces the caller may see are included.
输入参数slug必填
brainkb_set_space_visibility
Set a space 'public' (anyone, even anonymous, can read) or 'private'
(members only). Owner only. Everything in a public space is public: making a
space public also makes all its subspaces public, and a subspace of a public
space cannot be made private (409). Under a private space each subspace can be
public or private on its own.
输入参数slug必填visibility必填
Rename a space, change its description, and/or give it a new slug. Owner/manager
only. Pass only what changes; description="" clears it.
`new_slug` (lowercase letters, digits and hyphens, 3-64 chars) moves the space's IRI
and every graph whose IRI is built from the old slug (https://brainkb.org/graph/<slug>/…,
…/synthscholar/<slug>/…) to the new slug, with their registry, search and history
records and SynthScholar reviews; graphs with other IRIs keep theirs. The old slug and
IRIs stay as aliases: they keep resolving and nobody else can take them, but ingest
into an old IRI is refused with the new one. The result's `rename.moved_graphs` lists
each from → to. 409 if the slug or a target graph is taken.
Before calling with `new_slug`: show the user the graphs that will move and confirm.
输入参数nameslug必填new_slugdescription
PERMANENTLY delete a space and everything in it. SuperAdmin only; irreversible.
Drops the space's named graphs and the ingestion-history (delta) graphs that
hold copies of their data, removes the graphs' registry entries and the space's
RDF manifest, and deletes the space with its members, access rules, search
entries and SynthScholar reviews (with their kept files). EVERY SUBSPACE below it,
at any depth, is deleted the same way, deepest first (`subspaces_deleted`). Each
deletion is kept in the provenance graph (who, when, which graphs:
prov:invalidated). `confirm_slug` must equal `slug`.
Before calling: show the user the space AND its subspaces (brainkb_space_tree)
and what will be lost, and get their explicit confirmation in this conversation.
Never call it to tidy up on your own initiative. A non-SuperAdmin caller gets
403; if a step fails (502) the message says which spaces were already deleted —
the rest is untouched and it is safe to retry.
输入参数slug必填confirm_slug必填
Add/update a space member. role: 'owner' | 'editor' | 'viewer'. Owner only.
输入参数roleslug必填member_email必填
Register a named graph and bind it to a space, so ingest/read on that graph
are governed by the space's membership and visibility. Owner/editor only.
The named_graph_iri is **globally unique** — one graph belongs to exactly one
space. If it's already registered (to any space) the call returns 409; graph
bindings are permanent (no unregister/delete).
输入参数slug必填descriptionnamed_graph_iri必填
Ingest raw RDF text (Turtle / N-Triples / JSON-LD, auto-detected) into a
named graph. Returns a job_id; ingestion runs in the background — poll with
brainkb_job_status. The graph must be registered (see brainkb_add_space_graph)
and the caller must have write access to its space.
`sha256` / `expected_bytes` are an integrity contract, and you should use them
whenever the RDF came from a file. Ingest is append-only — no delete for
triples, no unregister for a graph — so RDF that arrives here mangled is
permanent. Because `data` is a string, it passes through the caller's context,
where dense Turtle is exactly what gets silently altered: ligatures, Greek
letters, embedded newlines, escaped quotes. Declare the digest of the bytes you
MEANT to send (`shasum -a 256 file.ttl`) and this refuses the write on any
mismatch, turning an unrecoverable corruption into a clean rejection.
输入参数data必填sha256expected_bytesnamed_graph_iri必填
List RDF files YOU have staged with POST /upload but not yet ingested.
Shows each upload_id, its size, sha256 and when it expires. Only your own
uploads are visible.
无需输入参数。
State of one of your staged/submitted uploads.
`state` is `staged` (waiting for brainkb_ingest_upload), `submitting` (the server
is streaming it to the ingest API), `submitted` (accepted — `job_id` is set, poll
brainkb_job_status) or `failed` (the staged bytes were KEPT, so retry with
brainkb_ingest_upload rather than re-uploading).
输入参数upload_id必填
Delete one of your staged uploads without ingesting it.
输入参数upload_id必填
Ingest a file you staged with `POST /upload` into a named graph.
This is the route for a large local file: your HTTP client streams the bytes
straight to this server over HTTPS, then you name the resulting upload_id here. The
server reads its own staged copy and posts it to the ingest API internally, so
the RDF never passes through a model's context — nothing to transcribe, no
context-window ceiling, and no reason to split the document (splitting breaks
blank-node identity and silently detaches triples, permanently).
Stage a file with any HTTP client — the point is that the LIBRARY reads the file,
so the bytes never pass through a model:
import requests, hashlib, pathlib
f = pathlib.Path("review.ttl")
r = requests.post(
"https://mcp.brainkb.org/upload",
params={"filename": f.name,
"sha256": hashlib.sha256(f.read_bytes()).hexdigest()},
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"},
data=f.open("rb"), # streamed — never loaded into memory
)
print(r.json()) # -> {"upload_id": "up_...", "state": "staged"}
It returns an upload_id and the sha256 the server computed — compare it with your
own before ingesting.
Returns a job_id; poll brainkb_job_status, then reconcile brainkb_delta(job_id)
against the triple count you expected. The staged copy is deleted once the
ingest API has accepted the bytes.
输入参数upload_id必填named_graph_iri必填
Ingest local RDF files (ttl/nt/nq/rdf/owl/jsonld/json) into a named graph.
Returns a job_id; runs in the background — poll with brainkb_job_status.
输入参数file_paths必填max_concurrencynamed_graph_iri必填
brainkb_synthscholar_ingest
Ingest a SynthScholar review — the output directory of a run (the folder
holding review.json and review.ttl, as the synthscholar skill writes it) — into
a space you may write to (see brainkb_list_writable_spaces; you need to be its
owner or an editor).
A review is unique per space: the same run can go into several spaces, once
each. Its graph, https://brainkb.org/synthscholar/<space>/reviews/<protocol.review_id>/,
is registered in the space; review.ttl plus an import record (PROV-O: who, when,
every kept file with media type, size and sha256, what was left out) are ingested
as an ordinary job → job_id (poll brainkb_job_status, reconcile with
brainkb_delta). Everything but work/ is kept and shown on the review's page.
Once per review per space: the same run into the same space again is refused (409). Reads the MCP server's
filesystem, so it follows brainkb_ingest_files' rules (MCP_INGEST_ROOT).
输入参数output_dir必填space_slug必填
brainkb_synthscholar_list_reviews
Ingested SynthScholar reviews you can read (public spaces: anyone): id, title,
research question, space, graph, included count, when ingested, ingest job.
`q` filters on text in the title or research question.
输入参数qspace
brainkb_synthscholar_studies
The included studies of an ingested review, filtered. `q`: text in title,
authors, journal, DOI, PMID or keywords. `full_text`: true = read in full,
false = abstract only. `source`: full-text route (europe_pmc, unpaywall, ezproxy,
arxiv, …). `rob`: risk-of-bias rating (low, high, some concerns). Years
inclusive. Each study: ids, title, authors, year, journal, how it was read and
by which route, RoB. Paged (`total`, at most 200 per call).
输入参数qroblimitspaceoffsetsourceyear_tofull_textreview_id必填year_fromwith_abstract
brainkb_synthscholar_screening
The screening audit trail of an ingested review: every decision with its
stage (title_abstract | full_text), decision (include | exclude), what it was
judged on (title_abstract | full_text | abstract_only), the full-text route and
the reason. Filter by any of those, by text or criterion code in the reason
(e.g. "EC2"), or by PMID. Also returns counts for the filtered set: by stage and
decision, what decisions were judged on, and exclusion reasons by criterion.
输入参数qpmidlimitspacestageoffsetreasondecisionreview_id必填assessed_on
brainkb_synthscholar_evidence
Evidence spans of an ingested review: the quoted text its claims rest on, with
the study, section, relevance, and whether the quote was matched verbatim in
the source (`grounded`). Filter by text, claim type, PMID or grounding.
输入参数qpmidclaimlimitspaceoffsetgroundedreview_id必填
brainkb_synthscholar_records
Per-study records an ingested review produced. `kind`: `charting` (the
data-charting form's answers per study), `appraisal` (critical appraisal by
domain) or `narrative` (narrative synthesis rows: design, methods, outcomes,
limitations). `q`: text in the answers (e.g. "neo4j" finds the studies that
report it); `study`: source id (S-001), title, DOI or PMID; `fields`:
comma-separated fields to return (the response lists the available ones).
输入参数qkind必填limitspacestudyfieldsoffsetreview_id必填
brainkb_synthscholar_text
An ingested review's own text: `abstract`, `introduction`, `synthesis`,
`bias`, `limitations`, `conclusions`, `research_question`, `search_queries` or
`per_group` (the per-group analysis) — or all of them when `section` is empty.
输入参数spacesectionreview_id必填
brainkb_synthscholar_find_study
Which ingested reviews (that you can read) include or screened a study —
by DOI, PMID or part of its title (6+ characters) — and what happened to it in
each: included (read in full or from the abstract) or each screening decision
with its reason.
输入参数doipmidtitle
brainkb_synthscholar_get_review
One ingested review: summary, its graph and space, the files kept (path,
kind, media type, size, sha256), the run's search log and verification, the
screening basis and full-text retrieval. Long texts and the per-study list are
left out here — read them from the graph or the review page.
输入参数spacereview_id必填
List the user's ingest jobs (newest first) with status and progress.
输入参数limit
Detailed status of one ingest job: status, progress %, current file/stage,
per-file failures, and (when complete) a summary.
输入参数job_id必填
Attempt to recover a stuck/errored ingest job (marks it recoverable/errored).
输入参数job_id必填
Full-text search over the knowledge graphs, access-filtered by space
visibility. Pass `space` to scope to one workspace, omit for a full search.
No login needed: an unauthenticated caller searches public spaces only.
Anonymous/other users never see private-space data.
输入参数q必填limitspaceoffset
Read all RDF (JSON-LD) in a space's graphs. Public spaces are readable by
anyone without logging in (read-only); private spaces require login and
membership. Don't ask the user to log in just to read a public space.
输入参数slug必填
brainkb_list_writable_spaces
Spaces the caller can ingest into, each with its graphs (and descriptions) and
`parent_slug` for subspaces — decided by the same checks ingestion uses: owner/
editor membership (including a role inherited from a parent space), a space write
access rule, or Admin/SuperAdmin. `can_ingest` false means the caller has no
write-capable role at all. `unmapped_graphs` are registered graphs in no space.
Use this, not brainkb_list_registered_graphs, to choose where to ingest.
无需输入参数。
brainkb_list_registered_graphs
List registered named graphs visible to the caller (private-space graphs the
caller can't access are hidden).
无需输入参数。
Run an arbitrary SPARQL query. Requires an Admin/SuperAdmin role (the
sparql_admin capability) — for ordinary questions prefer brainkb_search,
brainkb_read_space, or the provenance/delta tools, which need no admin role.
Large results come back a page at a time. A SELECT without its own
LIMIT/OFFSET returns at most `limit` rows (0 = the server's page size, 500 by
default) starting at `offset`; the response's `page` says whether there is
more (`has_more`) and where to continue (`next_offset`). Add ORDER BY for
stable pages. A query that sets its own LIMIT runs as written. Any result
too big for one response is cut to its leading rows with a `truncated` note.
Prefer COUNT(*) first when you only need to know how much there is.
输入参数limitoffsetsparql_query必填
Find a canned question BrainKB can answer, then run it with brainkb_qa_run.
Prefer these over writing SPARQL: they are vetted against BrainKB's actual
vocabulary. Discovery is two steps, so you never read every query at once:
1. brainkb_qa_list() -> the menu: each category's name, a description of
the questions it covers, and how many queries it has. Pick the category
whose description matches the user's question.
2. brainkb_qa_list(category="<name>") -> that category's queries. Each has
`question` (what it answers), `notes` (when to use it, where parameter
values come from, what the results mean), `params` (required ones have
no default — ask the user rather than guess) and a working `example`.
`search="words"` filters queries by words in their id/question/notes; use it
alone to search every category when none of the descriptions fits.
输入参数searchcategory
Run a canned question from brainkb_qa_list by id. `params` maps parameter
names to values; they are validated and escaped, never spliced in raw. Runs
through the same SPARQL endpoint as brainkb_sparql, so it needs the same
role. Results page the same way: a query without its own LIMIT returns
`limit` rows from `offset`, and `page.next_offset` says where to continue.
输入参数limitoffsetparamsquery_id必填
PROV-O provenance bundle (JSON-LD) for one ingest job.

输入参数job_id必填
A named graph's change history: one entry per ingest delta (job, triple
count, timestamp), newest first.
输入参数named_graph_iri必填
Compare two jobs' deltas: A-only / B-only / shared triple counts + triples.
输入参数job_id_a必填job_id_b必填
(Admin only) Show a user's roles, effective capabilities, and delegated
grants. Useful to check why someone can/can't create team spaces, ingest, etc.
输入参数member必填
(Admin only) Delegate a capability to a user — e.g. 'create_team_space' or
'manage_team_space' so a Curator/Lab Member can create/manage team spaces.
Grantable: create_private_space, create_team_space, manage_team_space, ingest,
recover, read_private (NOT the admin-only 'grant'/'sparql_admin').

(Admin only) List the capabilities granted to a role/group (e.g.
'uk_collaborator', 'Lab Member').
输入参数role必填
brainkb_grant_role_capability
(Admin only) Grant a capability to a whole role/group so EVERY member gets
it — e.g. give a custom group 'uk_collaborator' the 'ingest' or
'create_private_space' capability. Grantable: create_private_space,
create_team_space, manage_team_space, ingest, recover, read_private (NOT the
admin-only 'grant'/'sparql_admin'). Create the group first with
brainkb_create_role, then assign it to users with brainkb_assign_role.

(Space manager) Restrict a space action to a subject.
action: 'read' | 'write' | 'manage'.
subject_type: 'global_role' (e.g. 'Admin','Lab Member') | 'member' (an email) |
'space_role' ('viewer'|'editor'|'owner', matched as >=).
When rules exist for an action, only matching callers may perform it; the space
owner and Admin/SuperAdmin always bypass (no lockout). Example: restrict writing
to Admins -> action='write', subject_type='global_role', subject_value='Admin'.

brainkb_list_reserved_graphs
(Admin/SuperAdmin) List reserved named graphs: graph IRIs, or every IRI under a
prefix, that only an Admin/SuperAdmin — or, when reserved for a space, that
space's managers/editors — may register or bind. Includes the built-in system
reservations (BrainKB's metadata and provenance graphs), which nobody can bind.
无需输入参数。
(Admin/SuperAdmin) Reserve a named graph so other users can't create it.
match_type 'exact' reserves one graph IRI; 'prefix' reserves every IRI starting
with it (e.g. 'https://brainkb.org/graph/allen/'). Give a `reason` — it is shown
to anyone who is refused. Optional `space_slug` reserves it for that space, whose
managers/editors may then bind it. Graphs already bound stay where they are; the
response lists them under `already_bound`. 409 if it is already reserved,
overlaps a system graph, or is bound to another space than `space_slug`.

which can then be assigned with brainkb_assign_role.
输入参数name必填categorydescription
(Admin) Assign a role/group to a user by email (e.g. 'Lab Member', 'External',
