Getting started
First steps: account, first agent, first content.
How do I create an account?
In the app, at /auth/register: email and password, or Google. The activation arrives by email; once confirmed, the dashboard opens.
Create accountHow much does it cost to start?
Nothing. The free plan covers one project, asks for no card and does not expire. The paid steps have their prices published at /pricing: Solo US$20, Núcleo US$99, Operação US$249 — contracting starts in a conversation.
Talk to usWhich agents can I connect?
Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro CLI, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw and any MCP-compatible client. Per-agent setup guides live in the docs.
Setup docsHow long does setup take?
Minutes: create the account, mint the MCP token in the dashboard, paste the config into the agent. From then on, hooks start capturing from the first session.
Agents and MCP
How agents talk to the memory.
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol, the open protocol LLMs use to reach external sources and tools. ValorBrain runs an MCP server at mcpbrain.valor.digital, with OAuth 2.1 and dynamic client registration.
MCP token or API key?
MCP token. It connects the agent to the MCP endpoint and also works on the engine's REST routes, with the same scopes. The dashboard API key exists for one case: pushing a document over HTTP to the ingest route.
Can I use more than one agent at the same time?
Yes, and that is the point of the product: a decision captured in Claude Code shows up for Cursor in the next session. The memory is the same for people and agents.
How do I revoke an agent's access?
In the dashboard, under MCP token settings: revoking the token cuts access immediately (the permission cache expires in under a minute).
How many MCP tools are there?
More than 90 in the current catalog, between canonical tools and aliases, each with a REST mirror. The catalog ships with a parity test against the code.
Memory and permissions
What goes in, how it comes out and who sees what.
How is memory captured?
Through hooks in the cycle of the agents the team already uses: capture happens during the work, with no new screen to open. Whatever needs human validation gets flagged for review.
When something changes, is the old value deleted?
No. The previous version is superseded, with a validity window. Conflicts between sources get detected and quarantined until a person approves or rejects them.
Does search respect permissions?
Yes. Every call runs inside the tenant context (row-level security), and the agent sees what the person using it can see. With source ACL enabled (tenant opt-in), collections from sensitive domains get restricted per person, role or agent, with validity and reason recorded on the grant.
SecurityDo answers come with the source?
Yes: every answer lists the origin document, the date and the collection. When the evidence does not exist, the agent says it found nothing instead of improvising.
Who audits what changed in the memory?
Every mutation records actor, action and before/after state in an append-only trail with a hash chain: editing a row breaks the chain. Read logging with identity and version is in development.
SecurityPlans and billing
How billing works, what is unlimited and how to scale.
What does the free plan include?
One project, one person, 1,000 documents, unlimited memory searches and 50 sourced answers per month. Enough to prove the product on your real flow.
What is unlimited on paid plans?
Documents and searches: no quota, no meter. There is a fair-use storage ceiling that in practice equals over a hundred thousand documents; it exists for the pathological case, not the normal customer.
How does pricing work?
Per plan and per people: Solo, Núcleo and Operação have a monthly price published at /pricing, with an extra seat at a fixed price. Nothing is billed per response or per document; agents take no seat and searching costs nothing. On the annual cycle you pay 10 months and use 12.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Full JSON export from the dashboard or the API. It is a data-subject right under the LGPD and does not depend on the plan.
What happens if I cancel?
Access continues until the end of the paid period; then the account drops to the free tier and your documents stay where they are. Account deletion erases everything within 30 days, backups included.
Security and LGPD
Where data lives, who accesses it and what is not ready yet.
Where is my data stored?
On our own hardware in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Multi-tenant Postgres with row-level isolation; embeddings and reranking run on the same machine's GPU. Self-host and dedicated instances under enterprise contract.
SecurityDoes the engine call external services?
The engine does not touch your sources: the connectors live in the SaaS. No outbound call leaves the engine to fetch third-party content on its own.
Are you certified?
We hold no SOC 2 certification and promise no date. What the security page marks as verified has evidence in code and production configuration; anything unverified shows up as in preparation.
SecurityIs there a DPA and a subprocessor list?
Yes, published on this site, with the data received, the purpose and the location of each third party, including the inference step that leaves the country.
SubprocessorsCommon issues
What to do when something does not work.
My agent gets Unauthorized calling the MCP
The token expired or was revoked. Mint a new one in the dashboard and update the agent's config (for Claude Code, ~/.claude.json).
Search returns zero results
Check in the dashboard whether documents were indexed (collections and counters). Try keyword mode if auto mode fails. If documents are pending embedding, nudge the worker.
I did not get the activation email
Check spam and promotions, add [email protected] to your contacts, and use the resend option on the login screen. If it persists, write to us.
Is a service down?
The status page shows real availability for the engine and the SaaS. To report, send email with a timestamp and the error message.
StatusThe questions we hear before buying
Common objections, with the answer we give in the conversation.
We already have Notion or a wiki.
A wiki is static. ValorBrain versions, cross-references sources, injects context into the agent, and surfaces a conflict when two sources disagree. The wiki can stay, as one source among others.
Isn't this just RAG?
RAG answers a question. ValorBrain keeps decisions, permissions, versions, and handoffs between agents, and knows when an answer went stale because the rule changed.
Will this be one more tool for the team to open?
No. It lives in the hooks and MCP of the agents the team already uses. Capture happens during work; delivery happens at question time.
What about data privacy?
Data in Brazil, in compliance with the LGPD. Tenant isolation, permissions inherited per person and source, read auditing, and no outbound calls from the engine. The connectors live in the SaaS.
What if the agent uses an old version?
Every unit has validity (as_of) and supersession. The current rule arrives before the old one; conflicts and drift get flagged for human review. We don't promise infallibility. We promise traceability.
Do we need to rewrite what we already have?
No. Migration happens without rewriting the past: existing documents, decisions, and transcripts come in through ingestion, and versioning starts from there.
How much work does it take to maintain?
Automatic hooks do the capture; schema packs add structure; memory health and auditing show what has aged. Human curation goes where it makes a difference: validation and review.
Did not find what you need?
Write directly to the team. On a business day the answer goes out in under 24 hours; production incidents get a tighter window.
