What is the Neural Link?

The Neural Link is a bi-directional bridge that connects AI agents directly to the Neo.mjs runtime. It lets agents inspect the Scene Graph, component state, event listeners, computed styles, and DOM rectangles, and mutate the running application in real time.

Why is Neo.mjs called an Application Engine instead of a framework?

Neo.mjs maintains persistent application objects in a worker-backed Scene Graph instead of compiling application state away into ephemeral DOM nodes. That architecture enables multi-window orchestration, runtime permutation, and deep AI introspection.

What is Context Engineering?

Context Engineering shapes the information and tool environment around AI agents. Neo.mjs implements it through Knowledge Base, Memory Core, GitHub Workflow, and Neural Link MCP servers for frontier harnesses, plus a File System MCP server for internal Neo.ai.Agent local loops.

What is the Neo.mjs Agent OS?

The Neo.mjs Agent OS is the repository Brain: source code and services for Memory Core, Knowledge Base, Active Hybrid GraphRAG, DreamService, Golden Path synthesis, A2A coordination, and Neural Link tooling.

Fix Neural Link server startup crash due to missing startServer/stopServer methods

Closed v11.18.0/archive-v11-18-0-chunk-1 bugai

tobiu commented on Dec 30, 2025, 12:14 PM

The Neural Link server crashes on startup because the start_ws_server and stop_ws_server tools are mapped to ConnectionService.startServer and ConnectionService.stopServer, which were not implemented in ConnectionService following the v2 architecture refactor.

Root Cause: toolService.mjs attempts to bind these undefined methods during initialization (or tool list generation), causing a TypeError.

Resolution: Implement startServer() and stopServer() in ai/mcp/server/neural-link/services/ConnectionService.mjs.

startServer(): Should proxy to this.ensureBridgeAndConnect() (or spawnBridge explicitly).
stopServer(): Should kill the child process (if managed) and close the WebSocket connection.

This maintains the v2 architecture (ConnectionService as a client to a standalone Bridge process) while restoring the functionality of the lifecycle management tools.
