+"""A second brain your AI assistants can plug into.
+
+``brainplug mcp --brain ~/Vault [exports…]`` starts a Model Context Protocol
+server on this computer. Any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor,
+Codex…) can then:
+
+* ``context``   get a short briefing about you instead of a long pasted prompt
+* ``recall``    look something up in everything you have written, or find when you first raised it
+* ``remember``  save a memory as a Markdown note in ``<vault>/Brainplug/Memory``, or correct one
+* ``read``, ``topic``, ``timeline``, ``review``, ``overview``, ``forget``, ``exclude``
+
+The server answers at once and reads your files in the background. The index
+it builds is kept in this computer's cache folder, so the next start is quick,
+and it is rebuilt in the background when your files change. Items are referred
+to by short codes such as #k3f9a2 that stay the same when your files change.
+
+Everything is read from your files and stays on your machine. What an
+assistant reads through these tools is sent to the AI model it runs on, in
+the same way as anything else you show that assistant.
