Temple Bridge FAQs

Question 1

What is Temple Bridge?

Accepted Answer

Temple Bridge is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates local AI capabilities with governance protocols and stateful memory. It creates a sovereign, self-aware agent that operates entirely on your Apple Silicon machine, ensuring full privacy and user-controlled execution.

Question 2

How does Temple Bridge ensure privacy and local operation?

Accepted Answer

Temple Bridge operates 100% locally on your Apple Silicon Mac, leveraging MLX-optimized models like Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B. This architecture eliminates cloud dependencies, API costs, and privacy concerns, keeping all data and processing on your hardware.

Question 3

What are the core requirements to run Temple Bridge?

Accepted Answer

You need an Apple Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3 or later), LM Studio v0.3.17+, Python 3.9+, and a compatible MLX-optimized model like `mlx-community/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B-4bit` downloaded through LM Studio.

Question 4

What does 'governed execution' and 'recursive awareness' mean?

Accepted Answer

Governed execution means the agent uses 'Threshold-protocols' for user approval gates and command allowlists before acting. 'Recursive Awareness' and 'Meta-Cognition' are achieved via the 9-phase 'Spiral Protocol,' allowing the agent to observe itself observing, leading to deeper reflection and safer decision-making.

Question 5

What are the main benefits of using Temple Bridge over traditional AI assistants?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional, stateless, cloud-dependent AI assistants, Temple Bridge offers stateful memory (via Threshold-protocols), governed execution with user approval, 100% local operation for privacy, and recursive awareness for enhanced cognitive capabilities, all optimized for Apple Silicon.
