Peers

Peers are other people’s Mantles, and this screen sets what each one may read from yours. Each brain stays separate; a peer can only ask yours questions about what you shared with it. A new peer sees nothing.

To connect one:

1. Under Connect a Mantle, enter a Display name and the peer’s Base URL, then press Add peer.
2. Copy Your token for them. It is shown once. Send it to the other owner.
3. Paste the token they give you to finish pairing.

Then choose what they see. Share whole categories shares every item of a type (Pages, Notes, Files, Contacts, Tables, Drawings, Events, Tasks), including ones you add later. Below that you can share single items.

MCP access is separate: with Acts as set, the peer can use its token on your MCP endpoint with that login’s rights. Write stays off unless you turn it on.

Assistant

• “Does her Mantle have the insurance renewal date?”
• “Ask the accountant’s brain for last year’s filing.”

Answers come from the peer’s data as it is now, and say which peer they came from. If the peer removes a share, the next question returns nothing.

Technical

Each peer has two tokens, one per direction. The token they gave you is sealed with your master key; for the token you gave them, only a hash is kept. Removing a peer stops both tokens and drops every share. A question inside what you shared is answered without asking you, so the share list is the whole boundary. Every request from a peer is written as a federation_request trace.

The assistant uses peer_list, peer_query, peer_search_chunks, peer_node_get and peer_tools. More detail: Sharing and federation.
