# AutoMem MCP: Give Your AI Perfect Memory

**One command. Infinite memory. Perfect recall across all your AI tools.**

```bash
npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem setup
```

Your AI assistant now remembers everything. Forever. Across every conversation.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fd79112b-5158-4320-a054-8c18ab1ea314

</div>

The guided installer — <code>npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem install</code> walks you through local, hosted, or existing-endpoint setup.

Works with **Claude Desktop**, **Cursor IDE**, **Claude Code**, **GitHub Copilot (coding agent)**, **ChatGPT**, **ElevenLabs**, **OpenAI Codex**, **OpenClaw**, **Hermes**, **Google Antigravity** - any MCP-compatible AI platform.

## The Problem We Solve

Every AI conversation starts from zero. Claude forgets your coding style. Cursor can't learn your patterns. Your assistant doesn't remember yesterday's decisions.

**Until now.**

AutoMem MCP connects your AI to persistent memory powered by **[AutoMem](https://github.com/verygoodplugins/automem)** - a graph-vector memory service.

## What You Get

### 🧠 Persistent Memory Across Sessions

- AI remembers decisions, patterns, and context **forever**
- Works across **all MCP platforms** - Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, Google Antigravity
- **Cross-device sync** - same memory on Mac, Windows, Linux

### 🏆 Graph-Vector Architecture

- **11 public authorable relationship types** between memories (recall results may also include read-only system/internal relations that are not valid `associate_memories` inputs)
- **Research-validated** approach (HippoRAG 2: 7% better associative memory)
- **Sub-second retrieval** even with millions of memories

### 🚀 Works Everywhere You Code

## Quick Start

### 1. Set Up AutoMem Service

You need a running AutoMem service (the memory backend). Choose one:

**Option A: Local Development** (fastest, free)

```bash
git clone https://github.com/verygoodplugins/automem.git
cd automem
make dev
```

Service runs at `http://localhost:8001` - perfect for single-machine use.

**Option B: Railway Cloud** (recommended for production)

[![Deploy on Railway](https://railway.com/button.svg)](https://github.com/verygoodplugins/automem/blob/main/INSTALLATION.md#railway-deployment)

One-click deploy with $5 free credits. Typical cost: ~$0.50-1/month after trial.

👉 **[AutoMem Service Installation Guide](https://github.com/verygoodplugins/automem/blob/main/INSTALLATION.md)** - Complete setup instructions for local, Railway, Docker, and production deployments.

---

### 2. Install MCP Client

#### Claude Desktop - One-Click Install

Download and double-click to install AutoMem in Claude Desktop:

**[⬇️ Download AutoMem for Claude Desktop (.mcpb)](https://github.com/verygoodplugins/mcp-automem/releases/latest/download/mcp-automem.mcpb)**

After installing:
1. Claude Desktop will prompt you for your **AutoMem Endpoint** (`http://127.0.0.1:8001` for local)
2. Optionally enter your **API Key** (required for Railway, skip for local)
3. Click Enable

Then add the paste-ready Personal Preferences starter from [`templates/CLAUDE_DESKTOP_INSTRUCTIONS.md`](templates/CLAUDE_DESKTOP_INSTRUCTIONS.md). That's it: Claude now has persistent memory and knows when to use it.

#### Other Platforms

Connect your AI tools to the AutoMem service you just started.

```bash
# Guided install - pick where AutoMem runs, verify it, write .env, and
# configure your agents (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes)
npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem install
```

Every change is shown in a review plan before anything is written, and each
modified file keeps a `.bak` backup. Add `--dry-run` to preview, `--yes` to
apply non-interactively. See the [Installation Guide](INSTALLATION.md#guided-install-fastest)
for all flags.

Just need the `.env` + config snippets without the agent setup? Use the lighter wizard:

```bash
# Creates .env and prints config for your AI platform
npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem setup
```

**When prompted:**

- **AutoMem Endpoint:** `http://localhost:8001` (or your Railway URL if deployed)
- **API Key:** Leave blank for local development (or paste your token for Railway)

The wizard will:

- ✅ Save your endpoint and API key to `.env`
- ✅ Generate config snippets for Claude Desktop/Cursor/Code
- ✅ Validate connection to your AutoMem service

### 3. Platform-Specific Setup

**For Claude Code (plugin — recommended):**

```text
# In Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add verygoodplugins/mcp-automem
/plugin install automem@verygoodplugins-mcp-automem
```

Claude Code prompts for your AutoMem URL and API key at enable time, bundles the MCP server and silent recall/store-tracking hooks, and auto-updates. Prefer hooks and permissions written directly into `~/.claude/` instead? Run `npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem claude-code`.

On Windows, the hook payload assumes a POSIX shell environment such as Git Bash, MSYS2, or WSL — only `bash` is required (the hooks are pure bash+sed).

**For Cursor IDE:**

[![Install MCP Server](https://cursor.com/deeplink/mcp-install-light.svg)](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install)

```bash
# Or use CLI to install automem.mdc rule file
npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem cursor
```

**Other platforms** — Claude Desktop (one-click `.mcpb` above, plus the [Personal Preferences template](templates/CLAUDE_DESKTOP_INSTRUCTIONS.md)), [OpenAI Codex](INSTALLATION.md#openai-codex), [Hermes Agent](INSTALLATION.md#hermes-agent), [OpenClaw](INSTALLATION.md#openclaw), [Google Antigravity](INSTALLATION.md#google-antigravity), and [GitHub Copilot](INSTALLATION.md#github-copilot-coding-agent-githubcom):

👉 **[Full Installation Guide](INSTALLATION.md)** for every platform's setup and verification steps

---

## Remote MCP via HTTP

An optional sidecar service (deployable to Railway or any Docker host) connects AutoMem to platforms that support remote MCP over **Streamable HTTP** or SSE — ChatGPT (Developer Mode connectors), Claude.ai web and Claude Mobile, and ElevenLabs Agents.

👉 **[Remote MCP setup](INSTALLATION.md#remote-mcp-via-http-sidecar)** for deployment, connect URLs, and per-platform screenshots.

## Features

### Core Memory Operations

- **`store_memory`** — Save memories with content, tags, importance, metadata. Two modes:
  - **Single (default)**: top-level `content` plus optional fields, including `embedding`, `t_valid`, `t_invalid`, custom `id`.
  - **Batch**: `memories: [...]` (≤500 items) for bulk ingestion. Per-item `id`/`embedding`/`t_valid`/`t_invalid` are not supported in batch mode.
- **`recall_memory`** — Three modes selected by which params you pass:
  - **ID fetch**: `memory_id` → fetches one memory by ID; updates `last_accessed`.
  - **Tag enumeration**: `tags` + `exhaustive: true` → paginated exact-match listing for cleanup/audit workflows where ranked recall undercounts. Pair with `limit` (≤200) and `offset`; returns `has_more`.
  - **Ranked retrieval (default)**: hybrid search across vector, keyword, tags, recency/state controls, score filters, and graph expansion. Supports `state_mode`, `recency_bias`, `scope_fallback`, `expand_respect_tags`, `min_score`, `adaptive_floor`, and diagnostics such as `tag_scope`, `score_filter`, `query_time_ms`, `vector_search`, and per-result `outside_tag_scope`/`state_replaces`.
- **`associate_memories`** — Create relationships (11 public authorable types; recall results may also include read-only system relations). Supports single-pair mode and batch mode via `associations: [...]` (≤500) with relation-specific props like `reason`, `context`, `resolution`, `observations`, `transformation`, and `role`.
- **`update_memory`** — Modify existing memories
- **`delete_memory`** — Two modes:
  - **Single (default)**: `memory_id` → removes one memory and its embedding.
  - **Bulk-by-tag**: `tags: [...]` → bulk-delete all memories matching ANY tag (exact, case-insensitive). No dry-run; verify with `recall_memory({ tags, exhaustive: true })` first.
- **`check_database_health`** — Monitor service health, degraded state, sync counts, vector dimensions, and enrichment diagnostics when the service provides them

### Advanced Recall (v0.8.0+)

**Multi-hop Reasoning** - Answer complex questions like "What is Amanda's sister's career?"

```javascript
mcp__memory__recall_memory({
  query: "What is Amanda's sister's career?",
  expand_entities: true, // Finds "Amanda's sister is Rachel" → memories about Rachel
});
```

**Context-Aware Coding** - Recall prioritizes language and style preferences

```javascript
mcp__memory__recall_memory({
  query: "error handling patterns",
  language: "typescript",
  context_types: ["Style", "Pattern"],
});
```

## The Science Behind AutoMem

The AutoMem service implements cutting-edge 2025 research:

- **[HippoRAG 2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.14802)** (OSU, June 2025): Graph-vector approach achieves 7% better associative memory
- **A-MEM** (July 2025): Dynamic memory organization with Zettelkasten principles
- **MELODI** (DeepMind, 2025): 8x memory compression without quality loss
- **ReadAgent** (DeepMind, 2024): 20x context extension through gist memories

This MCP package provides the bridge between your AI and that research-validated memory system. The backend has also been benchmarked on the neutral [Agent Memory Benchmark](https://automem.ai/benchmarks), including BEAM large-context scaling tiers — reproducible end to end, so you can run it yourself.
