Dashboard Overview

The dashboard is the operating surface for RetainDB Cloud.

Normal company users use the dashboard with their login session. They do not need API keys. API keys live under Developers for agents, servers, MCP, SDKs, and external automation.

Main Pages

Page	Use it for
Home	overall source health, usage, recent queries, and next action
Sources	manual sources, indexed documents, sync status, failed jobs
Company Brain	ask questions and inspect context, memories, citations, and latency
Memory Graph	see how sources, documents, chunks, and memories connect
Agent Filesystem	browse agent-readable paths such as /context/company.md
Connected Accounts	connect account-backed tools such as GitHub, Slack, Notion, Drive, and Confluence when enabled
Developers	API keys, MCP setup, HTTP API, and SDK examples
Settings	organization, billing, team, and project settings

Recommended First Run

1. Create or choose a project.
2. Add one source from Sources.
3. Wait for status to become ready or indexed.
4. Ask a real question in Company Brain.
5. Connect an agent from Developers -> MCP.
6. Confirm list_sources, context, and read_context_file work from the agent host.

What To Watch

Signal	Healthy
connected sources	important sources are ready/indexed
failed syncs	zero, or each failure has an actionable error
recent queries	answers cite the expected source
memory count	source-derived memories appear after indexing
latency	stable enough for agent use
API key usage	only external agents/servers use keys

Dashboard Auth vs API Keys

Caller	Auth model
human using dashboard	dashboard session
source/query flows inside dashboard	dashboard session bridged server-side
MCP agent	API key
backend API route	API key
SDK in server code	API key
browser code	no API key
