Python SDK

Install from PyPI. Requires Python 3.10 or newer.

bash

pip install synapse-layer

Note

The package includes the core memory engine, PII sanitization, differential privacy, and Trust Quotient scoring out of the box.

To run Synapse Layer as an MCP server (for Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.), also install the MCP CLI:

bash

pip install synapse-layer "mcp[cli]"

Or install via Smithery (recommended for Claude Desktop):

bash

npx @smithery/cli install @synapselayer/synapse-protocol

For Node.js 18+ applications:

bash

npm install synapse-layer

Or with yarn:

bash

yarn add synapse-layer

Confirm the SDK is installed correctly:

python

from synapse_layer import Synapse
print(Synapse)  # <class 'synapse_memory.client.Synapse'>

typescript

import { SynapseClient } from 'synapse-layer';
console.log('Synapse Layer SDK loaded');
