👾 MemOS: Memory Operating System for LLM & AI Agents

MemOS is a Memory Operating System for LLMs and AI agents that unifies store / retrieve / manage for long-term memory, enabling context-aware and personalized interactions with KB, multi-modal, tool memory, and enterprise-grade optimizations built in.

Key Features

  • Unified Memory API: A single API to add, retrieve, edit, and delete memory—structured as a graph, inspectable and editable by design, not a black-box embedding store.
  • Multi-Modal Memory: Natively supports text, images, tool traces, and personas, retrieved and reasoned together in one memory system.
  • Multi-Cube Knowledge Base Management: Manage multiple knowledge bases as composable memory cubes, enabling isolation, controlled sharing, and dynamic composition across users, projects, and agents.
  • Asynchronous Ingestion via MemScheduler: Run memory operations asynchronously with millisecond-level latency for production stability under high concurrency.
  • Memory Feedback & Correction: Refine memory with natural-language feedback—correcting, supplementing, or replacing existing memories over time.

News

  • 2026-07-02 · 🏆 MemOS Advances Agent and User Memory Benchmarks With MemOS, OpenClaw improves average task completion from 36.63% to 50.87% across five agent tasks.

🎯 What MemOS Is For

MemOS gives AI agents long-term memory. Common uses:

  • AI assistants with consistent, context-rich conversations
  • Customer support that recalls past tickets and user history
  • Personalized agents that adapt to individual preferences
  • Multi-agent collaboration with shared or isolated memory

🚀 Quick Start

MemOS is built around four entry points. Pick the one that matches your scenario.

Cloud API Self-Host OpenClaw Cloud Plugin Local Plugin
Best for Your app, fully managed Teams on own infra OpenClaw users, zero ops Hermes/OpenClaw, 100% on-device
Setup Get an API key docker compose up openclaw plugins install npm install + config
Infra needed None (hosted) Neo4j + Qdrant None (uses MemOS Cloud) None (local SQLite)
Data lives MemOS Cloud Your servers MemOS Cloud Your machine

☁️ Use the Cloud API (Hosted)

You want to add memory to your app through a fully managed service — no infrastructure to run.

1. Get an API key:

  • Sign up on the MemOS dashboard.
  • Go to API Keys and copy your key (starts with mpg-). Keep it server-side.

2. Add and search memories:

import requests

API_KEY = "mpg-..."                  # keep this server-side
base = "https://memos.memtensor.cn/api/openmem/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Token {API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}

# 1. Add a memory
requests.post(f"{base}/add/message", headers=headers, json={
    "user_id": "alice",
    "conversation_id": "conv_001",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "I like strawberry"}],
})

# 2. Search memories
res = requests.post(f"{base}/search/memory", headers=headers, json={
    "query": "What do I like?",
    "user_id": "alice",
})
print(res.json())

Next steps:

🖥️ Self-Host the MemOS Service

You want to run MemOS as a REST service on your own machine or cluster.

Option A — Docker (recommended):

git clone https://github.com/MemTensor/MemOS.git
cd MemOS
cp docker/.env.example .env          # fill in your API keys in .env
cd docker
docker compose up                    # starts MemOS API + Neo4j + Qdrant

The API is served at http://localhost:8000.

Option B — Run with uvicorn (without Docker):

git clone https://github.com/MemTensor/MemOS.git
cd MemOS
cp docker/.env.example .env          # fill in your API keys in .env
# Ensure Neo4j and Qdrant are running, then:
cd src
uvicorn memos.api.server_api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --workers 1

See [docker/.env.example](./docker/.env.example) for all configuration options (LLM provider, embedder, vector DB, graph DB, scheduler). The full deployment guide is at https://memos-docs.openmem.net/open_source/getting_started/rest_api_server/.

Try the API:

import requests, json

headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
base = "http://localhost:8000/product"

# 1. Create a memory cube
requests.post(f"{base}/create_cube", headers=headers, data=json.dumps({
    "cube_name": "Alice's memory",
    "owner_id": "alice",
    "cube_id": "alice_cube",
}))

# 2. Add a memory
requests.post(f"{base}/add", headers=headers, data=json.dumps({
    "user_id": "alice",
    "writable_cube_ids": ["alice_cube"],
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "I like strawberry"}],
    "async_mode": "sync",
}))

# 3. Search memories
res = requests.post(f"{base}/search", headers=headers, data=json.dumps({
    "query": "What do I like?",
    "user_id": "alice",
    "readable_cube_ids": ["alice_cube"],
}))
print(res.json())

🧠 MemOS Plugin: Persistent Memory for Your AI Agents ✨

🔌 Plugin 💡 Core Features 🧩 Resources
🧠 memos-local-plugin 2.0 🌐 Website · 📖 Docs · 🐙 GitHub · 📦 NPM
☁️ OpenClaw Cloud Plugin 🖥️ MemOS Dashboard · 📖 Full Tutorial

1. OpenClaw Cloud Plugin

You use OpenClaw and want persistent memory via MemOS Cloud — no infrastructure to run.

Install:

openclaw plugins install @memtensor/memos-cloud-openclaw-plugin@latest
openclaw gateway restart

The plugin recalls memories from MemOS Cloud before each agent run and saves new messages back after the run ends.

2. Local Plugin (memos-local-plugin 2.0)

You use Hermes Agent or OpenClaw and want 100% on-device memory — nothing leaves your machine.

Install (macOS / Linux):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MemTensor/MemOS/main/apps/memos-local-plugin/install.sh | bash

Install (Windows PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MemTensor/MemOS/main/apps/memos-local-plugin/install.ps1 -OutFile "$env:TEMP\memos-install.ps1"; powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:TEMP\memos-install.ps1"

Requires Node.js and an already-installed OpenClaw or Hermes. The installer auto-detects OpenClaw and Hermes, deploys the plugin to the right agent home (~/.hermes/plugins/ or ~/.openclaw/plugins/), writes the initial config.yaml, and restarts the agent runtime.

Features: hybrid retrieval (FTS5 + vector), smart dedup, tiered skill evolution (L1 traces / L2 policies / L3 world model), multi-agent collaboration, local-first SQLite storage.
