Recording the Demo GIF

The README ships with an SVG mockup (docs/assets/demo-conversation.svg) so the project looks complete out of the box. To replace it with a real screen recording, follow these steps and drop the result at docs/assets/demo.gif.

What to record

Show the before / after value of BraveMCP in one short clip (15–25 seconds):

  1. Open Claude Desktop with the brave-memory server connected.
  2. Ask a vague, memory-style question, e.g.:

    "Do you remember that article about MCP security I read last week?"

  3. Let Claude call find_forgotten_content (or search_memory) and return the match.
  4. Show Claude's final answer citing the page, visit count, and recency.

Keep it tight — trim dead air before/after the tool call.

Tools

OS Tool Notes
Windows ScreenToGif Free, records a region directly to GIF
macOS Kap Free, exports GIF
Any Peek (Linux), OBS + gifski For higher quality

Tips

  • Record at the window size, not full screen — keep the file small (< 5 MB ideally).
  • Target ~12–15 fps; GIF size grows fast with frame rate.
  • Crop to just the Claude conversation panel.
  • If the file is large, run it through gifsicle (gifsicle -O3 --lossy=80 demo.gif -o demo.gif) before committing.

After recording

  1. Save the file as docs/assets/demo.gif.
  2. In README.md, the demo section already references it — uncomment the GIF line and the SVG becomes the fallback. No other change needed.
