# Visualize — Interactive Neural Graph (hypermnesia-mcp-viz)
## Keywords
visualize, graph, neural graph, memory map, show memories, visual overview, entity graph, methodology graph, codebase graph, session trace, show profile, galaxy
## Overview
Launch the interactive browser-based neural graph served by the **hypermnesia-mcp-viz**
MCP. It reads Cortex's shared PostgreSQL store (read-only) plus your `~/.claude`
session history and wiki, and opens six reading angles over the same data:
**Trace** (default), **Graph** (the galaxy), **Knowledge**, **Wiki**, **Board**,
and **Pipeline**.
**Use this skill when:** the user wants a visual overview, is exploring the
knowledge/codebase graph, or needs to present or screenshot Cortex's state.
**Requires:** the `hypermnesia-mcp-viz` MCP. If its tools are not available,
tell the user to install `hypermnesia-mcp-viz`
(https://github.com/cdeust/cortex-viz).
**Works without Cortex:** hypermnesia-mcp-viz does NOT require the Cortex memory
engine to be useful. When Cortex's PostgreSQL is unreachable (or
`CORTEX_VIZ_NO_DB=1` is set) the server starts in no-DB mode: the **Trace**
view — the per-session execution drill over `~/.claude` session logs + git —
is fully live, and the five DB-backed views (Graph, Brain, Knowledge, Wiki,
Board) appear greyed out with an install pointer instead of erroring. So
launch it freely even if the user hasn't installed Cortex.
