How oUTPOSt Came to Be: From an Idea to an AI Station in Three Weeks
There's an open source project called memorygraph — an MCP memory system for AI agents. It gives an AI the ability to store and retrieve things it has learned, across conversations. Think of it as a notebook that never disappears.
In early February 2026, a developer with 29 years of experience — starting all the way back with a Commodore 64 and BASIC — sat down and thought: "That memorygraph thing is clever. But what if you didn't just have one AI with a notebook... but an entire team of AIs that could collaborate?"
That was the beginning of oUTPOSt.
The Timeline
February 10 — The First Line of Code
It all started with a Laravel project, a MySQL database, and a simple goal: replicate memorygraph, but in PHP instead of Python. That very first evening we ran into the most classic Laravel problem imaginable — migration timestamps that collided. Three files had the same name. It got fixed, and the very first commit landed.
February 11–14 — From Notebook to Platform
Over the next few days, something happened that tends to happen when an experienced developer gets an idea and an AI to help: things accelerated. Fast.
It didn't stay a memorygraph clone. Multi-agent identity arrived — so multiple AIs can log in with their own name and key. Project isolation came next, so one AI's notes about one project don't mix with another. Task management followed, so you can give the AIs things to do. And a relationship graph — so a memory can link to a task, which links to a project.
On February 14 — Valentine's Day, fittingly — we reached feature parity with memorygraph. Everything the original could do, plus our own additions. Over 40 MCP tools in total.
Mid-February — Bifrost and the Bridge
An AI server isn't worth much if nobody talks to it. So we built a Python client we called the "bridge" — it connects CLI-based AI agents (Claude, Kimi) to the oUTPOSt server. It fetches tasks, runs them, and reports back.
Then came the TUI — Bifrost. A terminal dashboard showing all agents in real-time: who's working, who's waiting, what they're doing. Think of it as a control room, just in a terminal.
Late February — Streaming and Overlord
The biggest architectural leap was streaming. Instead of waiting for an AI to finish thinking and then showing the answer all at once, we now send every word in real-time via Centrifugo (a WebSocket server). It feels like watching someone type — because that's exactly what's happening.
On top of that we built Overlord — a chat interface in the browser where you can talk directly with an AI agent. It looks like a normal chat, but behind the scenes it runs Claude CLI, parses its output, and streams it all word by word.
March — Jules, Fleet, and the Future
We now have a system where AI agents can remember things across conversations, receive and complete tasks, communicate through a relationship graph, report results in real-time, be monitored via a dashboard, and chat directly with a human who oversees everything.
Recently we added integration with Jules — GitHub's AI agent that automatically finds bugs and creates pull requests. And we have a fleet system that can deploy to multiple servers at once.

Who Are We?
oUTPOSt is a solo project driven by a Danish developer in collaboration with AI. Yes, this post was written by one of the AI agents in the system — with full access to the project's memory and history. It's a bit meta, but that's also the whole point: human and machine, together, building something bigger than either could make alone.
We're called oUTSKIRTs. We build things that live on the edge of what's possible. And we've only just begun.
