memclaw-client

Official Python client for MemClaw — governed shared memory for AI agent fleets (multi-agent, multi-tenant, MCP-native).

A thin wrapper over the MemClaw REST API. Point it at a managed (https://memclaw.net) or self-hosted (http://localhost:8000) deployment.

Install

pip install memclaw-client

Quickstart

from memclaw_client import MemClaw

mc = MemClaw("mc_xxx", tenant_id="my-team", agent_id="my-agent")

# Write a memory — enriched server-side with type, title, tags, importance.
mc.write("Q3 revenue target is $4M, set on 2026-04-15.")

# Search (ranked raw results)
for m in mc.search("Q3 revenue target", top_k=5):
    print(m.title, "—", m.content)

# Recall (LLM-synthesized context brief)
print(mc.recall("Q3 revenue target").summary)

Self-hosted? Pass base_url:

mc = MemClaw("standalone", tenant_id="default", base_url="http://localhost:8000")

API

The client is a context manager (with MemClaw(...) as mc:) and raises AuthError (401/403), NotFoundError (404), or MemClawAPIError on failures. Every result also exposes the full API payload on .raw.

For credentials, scopes, and the full API surface, see the MemClaw docs. Production fleets should use per-agent keys.

memclaw-interviewer — Claude Code + Cursor adapter

Installing this package also provides the memclaw-interviewer CLI: the MemClaw Interviewer's disk-parser adapter for Claude Code and Cursor workstations. It reads agent session transcripts read-only — Claude Code's ~/.claude/projects/…/*.jsonl or Cursor's ~/.cursor/projects/…/agent-transcripts/…/*.jsonl — tracks a per-file cursor via the server's forward-only watermark documents (no local state), and submits event windows to POST /api/v1/interview/submit, where MemClaw synthesizes them into typed memories. Requires the tenant to have interviewer.enabled = true.

export MEMCLAW_API_KEY=mc_xxx MEMCLAW_TENANT_ID=my-team
export MEMCLAW_INTERVIEWER_PROJECTS="-Users-me-work-*"   # allowlist, default-deny

memclaw-interviewer status --since-hours 24     # cursors vs. local line counts
memclaw-interviewer run --dry-run -v            # parse + window, submit nothing
memclaw-interviewer run --max-windows 8         # submit due windows
memclaw-interviewer run --harness cursor        # harvest Cursor instead (or
                                                # MEMCLAW_INTERVIEWER_HARNESS=cursor)

Privacy: default-deny — with no allowlist the CLI lists discovered project dirs and exits with guidance; --all-projects is the explicit opt-in. Credential-shaped strings are scrubbed locally before anything leaves the machine, and the server masks PII again on receipt.

Triggers: run it from cron, or wire the harness's session-end hook so a session is interviewed the moment it ends (a failed harvest never fails the session — the hook always exits 0). The SAME hook command serves both harnesses: each sends transcript_path on stdin, and the harness is inferred from the path shape.

Claude Code (~/.claude/settings.json):

{ "hooks": { "SessionEnd": [ { "hooks": [
  { "type": "command", "command": "memclaw-interviewer hook", "timeout": 300 }
] } ] } }

Cursor (~/.cursor/hooks.json):

{ "version": 1, "hooks": {
  "sessionEnd": [ { "command": "memclaw-interviewer hook" } ]
} }

Schedule the cron in one command. Rather than hand-editing crontab, install writes an idempotent cron entry (and a 0600 env file it sources, since cron doesn't inherit your shell environment). Config comes from the same flags/env as run:

memclaw-interviewer install --interval 30m        # add --harness cursor for Cursor
memclaw-interviewer uninstall                      # removes the entry + env file

It refuses to schedule a job that would no-op (missing credentials or no project allowlist). On Windows (no crontab), use Task Scheduler to run memclaw-interviewer run on a timer instead.

Crash-safety is inherited from the Interviewer protocol: the watermark advances only after the server commits a window, and retries of the same window dedup server-side via a deterministic attempt id — never a gap, never a duplicate.
