A production-grade persistent memory layer that solves the context problem for long-running AI sessions. Stores facts, preferences, decisions, and skills in SQLite with FTS5 full-text search plus sqlite-vec semantic retrieval, fused via reciprocal rank fusion and reranked by a local Qwen3 cross-encoder. The capture action accepts six typed context categories and deduplicates via embeddings. Includes a temporal knowledge graph with entity resolution, LLM-driven compression of old memories, and encrypted cross-machine sync to Google Drive or S3. Ships with skill definitions that teach Claude when to commit memories and how to recall context proactively. Reach for this when you need the AI to remember conversations across sessions without manually managing context windows or paying for third-party memory APIs.

2026-05-02 -- Architecture stabilization update
Past months saw significant churn around credential handling and the daemon-bridge auto-spawn pattern. This caused multi-process races, browser tab spam, and inconsistent setup UX across plugins. The architecture is now stable: 2 clean modes (stdio + HTTP), no daemon-bridge layer, no auto-spawn from stdio.
Apologies for the instability period. If you encountered issues with prior versions, please update to the latest release and follow the current setup docs -- most prior workarounds are no longer needed.

mnemo-mcp is packaged for Smithery -- install or run it straight from the registry. It starts over stdio via uvx mnemo-mcp with no configuration required to launch; credentials are configured at runtime through the server's own config flow (see Documentation). The published start command lives in smithery.yaml.
15 MCP tools, 17 memory actions. The memory surface is exposed both as 11 specialized single-purpose tools and a deprecated legacy memory dispatcher (same actions), plus config, help, and config__open_relay:

The mnemo-mcp console script both starts the server and exposes a few one-shot operator subcommands. A bare invocation (or any ---prefixed flag) starts the server; a leading subcommand runs an action and exits.
mnemo-mcp # start the stdio server (default transport)
mnemo-mcp --http # start the Streamable HTTP server
# (also via MCP_TRANSPORT=http or TRANSPORT_MODE=http)
mnemo-mcp auth google # authorize Google Drive sync via OAuth
mnemo-mcp auth google --client-id <ID> --client-secret <SECRET> # bring-your-own OAuth client
mnemo-mcp logout # clear the local Google Drive sync token
mnemo-mcp warmup # pre-download Fastretrieval-managed local embedding + rerank models
mnemo-mcp config status # report whether stored config exists
mnemo-mcp config delete --yes # delete the stored (encrypted) config
mnemo-mcp relay status # show the active browser-setup relay session
mnemo-mcp relay open # open the relay setup form in a browser
mnemo-mcp relay reset # clear relay session state
mnemo-mcp doctor # environment diagnostics (Python, backend, store, mode)
| Subcommand | Purpose |
|---|---|
auth <provider> | Authorize a sync credential provider (currently google); --client-id / --client-secret supply a bring-your-own OAuth client |
warmup | Pre-download the Fastretrieval-managed local Qwen3 ONNX embedding + rerank models so first use works offline |
config status | config delete [--yes] | Inspect or remove the stored encrypted configuration |
relay status | relay open | relay reset | Inspect, open, or clear the zero-config browser setup session |
doctor | Report Python version, credential backend, store dir, config, relay session, and storage mode |
Deployed over HTTP, mnemo speaks Streamable HTTP transport and is OAuth-gated. Point any MCP client that supports remote HTTP + OAuth at https://<your-host>/mcp and authenticate on first connect; each authenticated user gets an isolated per-user credential store (see Trust Model). To stand up an instance, see Deploy to Cloudflare.
Public OCI image publication is discontinued. Existing historical registry tags remain untouched; new container deployments build from source or use the Cloudflare-managed registry.
Run your own mnemo instance serverless on Cloudflare (Containers + D1 + Vectorize + KV).
Prerequisites: a Cloudflare account on the Workers Paid plan — required for Containers, D1, and Vectorize (the Cloudflare free tier does not include them) — and the wrangler CLI.
git clone https://github.com/n24q02m/mnemo-mcp && cd mnemo-mcpwrangler loginwrangler d1 create mnemo-memories
wrangler vectorize create mnemo-memory-vectors --dimensions 768 --metric cosine
wrangler kv namespace create mnemo-kv
Paste the returned D1 database ID and KV namespace ID into wrangler.jsonc (the
Vectorize index binds by name, so no ID is needed), then create the memories schema
(tables, indexes, and the FTS5 full-text index) in the database you just made:
wrangler d1 migrations apply mnemo-memories --remote
The SQL lives in migrations/0001_init.sql, and the D1 binding in wrangler.jsonc
points at that folder via migrations_dir: "migrations". Full-text search uses FTS5,
which D1 ships; vector similarity is served by Vectorize rather than by an in-database
extension, because D1 cannot load one.<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID> in wrangler.jsonc:
docker build --target http -t mnemo-mcp:local .
wrangler containers push mnemo-mcp:local
# set image to registry.cloudflare.com/<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>/mnemo-mcp:local
<YOUR_PUBLIC_URL> (e.g. https://mnemo.example.com) and <YOUR_WORKER_DOMAIN>
(e.g. mnemo.example.com) in wrangler.jsonc, then set the secrets:
wrangler secret put CREDENTIAL_SECRET # per-user vault key (encrypts the cf-kv credential store)
wrangler secret put MCP_RELAY_PASSWORD # shared password gating the browser setup form
wrangler secret put MCP_DCR_SERVER_SECRET # required once PUBLIC_URL is set (multi-user, per-JWT-sub)
wrangler secret put JINA_AI_API_KEY # EMBEDDING_MODELS + RERANK_MODELS (cloud embed / rerank)
wrangler secret put GOOGLE_VERTEX_EXPRESS_API_KEY # LLM_MODELS (graph extraction, importance, consolidation)
wrangler deploy and complete setup in the browser relay form at your Worker domain.Storage maps to Cloudflare via MCP_STORAGE_BACKEND=cf-kv (credentials / tokens, encrypted),
MEMORY_DB_BACKEND=cf-d1 (the memories database + FTS5 full-text; unset or sqlite
keeps the local SQLite file at DB_PATH), and Vectorize (embeddings,
cosine). Embedding and reranking are forced cloud through the EMBEDDING_MODELS /
RERANK_MODELS chains (jina_ai/...) so the container never downloads Fastretrieval's
local Qwen3 ONNX models, and graph / LLM features run through the LLM_MODELS chain (vertex_express/...).
On Cloudflare deployments, Cloudflare D1 + Vectorize + KV is the sole production authority:
MEMORY_DB_BACKEND=cf-d1): Authoritative storage for memory rows, metadata, bitemporal valid ranges, and FTS5 search.MCP_VECTORIZE_IDX): Dense vector index for semantic similarity search.MCP_STORAGE_BACKEND=cf-kv): Encrypted per-user credential and session store.SYNC_ENABLED=false): Production Cloudflare deployments pin legacy Google Drive sync off; Cloudflare serves as the live authority.~/.mnemo-mcp/memories.db) and self-hosted instances retain optional passport sync (Google Drive Device Code OAuth or S3/R2/B2) for workstation migration.This plugin implements TC-Local (machine-bound, single trust principal). The mode/storage/encryption breakdown below is the full classification.
| Mode | Storage | Encryption | Who can read your data? |
|---|---|---|---|
| stdio (default) | ~/.mnemo-mcp/config.json | AES-GCM, machine-bound key | Only your OS user (file perm 0600) |
| HTTP self-host | Same as stdio | Same | Only you (admin = user) |
HTTP multi-user remote (PUBLIC_URL) | Per-JWT-sub credential store | AES-GCM | Only the authenticated user (per-sub isolation) |
The browser setup form has an optional workspace username field. Entering the
same username always lands you in the same per-sub bucket, so your credentials
and memories stay reachable across a re-authorization and across devices, instead
of being tied to the one-off subject minted for each /authorize round-trip.
Leaving it blank keeps the previous per-authorize behaviour.
Trust boundary: when the form is gated by a shared MCP_RELAY_PASSWORD, the
username is a partition key, not a secret -- anyone who knows that password can
type any username and reach that bucket. That is fine for a trusted group; an
untrusted multi-tenant deployment needs a per-user secret or delegated OAuth
instead.
One-time migration: existing users must re-enter their credentials once after this change. Nothing is deleted; credentials stored under the old random subject are simply no longer addressed.
