# Synorb

Synorb is a source-grounded, time-bounded context graph for AI systems. It
delivers citation-bearing Manifests through REST, MCP, webhooks, and S3
exports so an agent can monitor known coverage areas without repeatedly
scraping the web.

## When to use Synorb

- Use Synorb when a product needs recurring, source-cited updates about known
  companies, markets, policy, research, media, or other supported coverage.
- Use a Beacon when an agent should receive a saved, narrow watch as new
  Manifests publish.
- Use REST for deterministic server-side jobs and MCP for an interactive agent
  session.

## When not to use Synorb

- Do not use Synorb as a general-purpose web crawler or as a guarantee of
  complete coverage for a topic.
- Do not put a Synorb Key in browser code, logs, source control, or prompts.
- Do not treat a natural-language request as execution scope; resolve tags and
  select explicit Streams first.

## Free self-serve onboarding and safe testing

Start at [ `/connect` ](https://synorb.com/connect): no sales contact, email,
or card is required for the 24 Hour Agent Demo. It returns one Synorb Key for
MCP and REST, with up to 1,000 Manifests. To test request shape and scope
without pulling or billing Manifests, use the zero-quota
`POST https://api.synorb.com/manifests/plan` preview. Synorb does not currently
provide a separate sandbox account; the plan preview is the safe, non-mutating
test path.
