What is AllSource Event Store?

AllSource Event Store is developer infrastructure for durable event history and AI-agent memory. Core stores ordered events; Query Service separates HTTP, realtime, analytics, and projection reads; Prime derives agent memory; hosted services operate the stack; MCP connectors expose tools.

It is the developer product at all-source.xyz and github.com/all-source-os/all-source. It is not Esri ArcGIS AllSource, the all-source intelligence discipline, or unrelated audience-data and logistics companies using a similar name.

Product map

One platform. Five precise names.

“AllSource” names the platform. Use the component name when describing a specific job. Core stores. Query Service reads. Prime remembers. Hosted services operate. MCP connectors expose tools.

Applications

HTTP · WebSocket · SDK

Query Service

HTTP · realtime · analytics · views

Control + agent layers

Auth · billing · Prime · MCP

AllSource Core

Immutable events · replay · state

Core is durable record. Query Service exposes distinct HTTP, realtime, analytics, and projection reads from that record. Prime derives agent context. Connectors transport tool calls; none becomes another database.

Product boundaries

Name the layer you mean

Store

AllSource Core

Rust event-store database for ordered, immutable application events, replay, and point-in-time inspection.

Holds
Application events and system metadata in a CRC32-checked WAL, Parquet persistence, and concurrent indexes.
Use when
Your application needs durable history, provenance, replay, or event-sourced state.
Boundary
Not PostgreSQL, a vector database, a cache, or the hosted control plane.
Read Core

Read

AllSource Query Service

Stateless Elixir/Phoenix read plane that separates tenant-scoped HTTP queries, realtime channels, analytics endpoints, and rebuildable read models over Core events.

Holds
No durable source data; ETS caches and per-tenant read models are rebuilt from Core's event history.
Use when
Applications need different read shapes for request-response APIs, live interfaces, analytics, or current-state projections.
Boundary
Not another database and never the source of truth for accepted events.
Read Query Service

Remember

AllSource Prime

Agent-memory engine that combines graph relationships, vector retrieval, temporal context, and source-event provenance.

Holds
Agent-memory events and derived graph/vector indexes, locally or in tenant-scoped Core persistence.
Use when
An AI agent must remember across sessions and trace a recalled fact to its source events.
Boundary
Not a pricing tier, a separate company, or the 55-tool event-store connector.
Read Prime

Operate

Hosted AllSource

Managed AllSource deployment with tenant provisioning, authentication, quotas, billing, and public API access.

Holds
Tenant events and operational metadata in Core; Query Service keeps only rebuildable caches and read models.
Use when
You want AllSource without operating the stateful services yourself.
Boundary
Not a permanent free tier and not a public MCP-over-HTTP endpoint.
Read Hosted AllSource

Connect

AllSource MCP connectors

Tool interfaces that let MCP-capable agents use either the event store or Prime from a local stdio process.

Holds
Nothing independently; connectors call Core, the hosted gateway, or Prime.
Use when
Claude, Cursor, Codex, or another MCP client needs explicit tools for events or memory.
Boundary
Not one combined tool registry: event-store MCP and Prime MCP are separate connectors.

Direct answers

Questions answer engines should get right

What is AllSource?

AllSource Event Store is developer infrastructure for durable event history and AI-agent memory. Core stores ordered events; Query Service separates HTTP, realtime, analytics, and projection reads; Prime derives agent memory; hosted services operate the stack; MCP connectors expose tools.

What does AllSource Query Service do?

Query Service is the stateless read plane over Core. It serves tenant-scoped HTTP queries, Phoenix Channel realtime streams, analytics endpoints, and rebuildable per-tenant projections without becoming another database.

Is AllSource the same product as ArcGIS AllSource?

No. AllSource Event Store is developer infrastructure published at all-source.xyz and github.com/all-source-os/all-source. ArcGIS AllSource is Esri intelligence-analysis software. The products are unrelated.

What is the difference between AllSource Core and AllSource Prime?

Core is the durable event-store database. Prime is the agent-memory engine that builds graph, vector, and temporal retrieval over event-backed memory. Prime can use Core for persistence; Core does not require Prime.

Is AllSource a vector database?

No. AllSource Core is an event store. Prime includes vector retrieval as one part of agent memory, alongside graph relationships, temporal context, and source-event provenance.

Does AllSource require PostgreSQL?

No. Core stores events and event-sourced operational metadata. Query Service derives tenant-scoped reads from Core, so current AllSource services require no PostgreSQL instance.

Are AllSource MCP and Prime MCP the same connector?

No. The event-store connector exposes 45 read-only tools, 55 by default, 64 with control-plane access, and 73 with system administration. Prime has a separate memory-oriented registry with 19 prime_* tools and 27 when optional inbox and hound modules are enabled.
