# Mitosis developer documentation

> Cortex, the per-team memory graph, and the four surfaces that reach it: an
> MCP server, a REST API, a CLI, and a TypeScript SDK. One graph per team,
> built once at ingest, queried with citations and no LLM at query time.

Every page below is also available as markdown: append `.md` to any URL.

## Concepts

## API reference

- [REST API reference](https://mitosislabs.ai/developers/api-reference): Every operation in the public API at /api/v1, generated from the OpenAPI spec. (markdown: https://mitosislabs.ai/developers/api-reference.md)

## CLI

- [Ingest and query](https://mitosislabs.ai/developers/sdk/ingest-and-query): A complete, runnable loop: push your own content into a memory, then query it back with citations. (markdown: https://mitosislabs.ai/developers/sdk/ingest-and-query.md)
- [Chaining lookups](https://mitosislabs.ai/developers/sdk/chaining-lookups): Ingest, read what the graph found, query your own databases on the result, and ingest again. (markdown: https://mitosislabs.ai/developers/sdk/chaining-lookups.md)
- [Offices and agents](https://mitosislabs.ai/developers/sdk/offices-and-agents): Create an office, hire agents into it, and manage their lifecycle. (markdown: https://mitosislabs.ai/developers/sdk/offices-and-agents.md)
