memograph 0.1.1

A graph-based memory system for LLMs with intelligent retrieval using knowledge graphs, hybrid search, and semantic embeddings

MemoGraph 🧠

A graph-based memory system for LLMs with intelligent retrieval. MemoGraph provides a powerful solution to the LLM memory problem by combining knowledge graphs, hybrid retrieval, and semantic search.

✨ Features

• 🤖 Smart Auto-Organization Engine: Automatically extract structured information from memories using LLMs
  • Topics, subtopics, and recurring themes
  • People with roles and organizations
  • Action items with assignees and deadlines
  • Decisions, questions, and sentiment analysis
  • Risks, ideas, and timeline events
• Graph-Based Memory: Navigate knowledge using bidirectional wikilinks and backlinks
• Hybrid Retrieval: Combines keyword matching, graph traversal, and optional vector embeddings
• Markdown-Native: Human-readable markdown files with YAML frontmatter
• Memory Types: Support for episodic, semantic, procedural, and fact-based memories
• Smart Indexing: Efficient caching system that only re-indexes changed files
• CLI & Python API: Use via command line or integrate into your Python applications
• Multiple LLM Providers: Works with Ollama, Claude, and OpenAI
• Context Compression: Intelligent token budgeting for optimal context windows
• Salience Scoring: Memory importance ranking for better retrieval

🚀 Quick Start

Python Usage

from memograph import MemoryKernel, MemoryType

# Initialize the kernel attached to your vault path
kernel = MemoryKernel("~/my-vault")

# Ingest all notes in the vault
stats = kernel.ingest()
print(f"Indexed {stats['indexed']} memories.")

# Programmatically add a new memory
kernel.remember(
    title="Meeting Note",
    content="Decided to use BFS graph traversal for retrieval.",
    memory_type=MemoryType.EPISODIC,
    tags=["design", "retrieval"]
)

# Retrieve context for an LLM query
context = kernel.context_window(
    query="how does retrieval work?",
    tags=["retrieval"],
    depth=2,
    top_k=8
)

print(context)

Install from MCP Registry

NEW: MemoGraph is now available in the official MCP Registry!

# Install via MCP CLI (if available)
mcp install io.github.indhar01/memograph

# Or manually configure in your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memograph": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "memograph.mcp.run_server"],
      "env": {
        "MEMOGRAPH_VAULT": "~/my-vault"
      }
    }
  }
}

Benefits of MCP Registry:

• ✅ Official registry backed by Anthropic, GitHub, and Microsoft
• ✅ Automatic version updates from PyPI
• ✅ Discoverable by all MCP-compatible clients
• ✅ Verified and trusted installation

See MCP_REGISTRY_GUIDE.md for complete submission and configuration guide.

Usage Examples

Once configured, use natural language with your AI assistant:

"Search my vault for memories about Python"
"Create a memory titled 'Project Ideas' with content '...'"
"Update memory abc-123 to have salience 0.9"
"Delete memory xyz-456"
"What tools are available?"
"Get vault statistics"

See CONFIG_REFERENCE.md for complete MCP configuration guide.

🎯 CLI Usage

MemoGraph comes with a powerful CLI for managing your vault and chatting with it.

Ingest

Index your markdown files into the graph database:

memograph --vault ~/my-vault ingest

Force re-indexing all files:

memograph --vault ~/my-vault ingest --force

Remember

Quickly add a memory from the command line:

memograph --vault ~/my-vault remember \
    --title "Team Sync" \
    --content "Discussed Q3 goals." \
    --tags planning q3

Context Window

Generate context for a query:

memograph --vault ~/my-vault context \
    --query "What did we decide about the database?" \
    --tags architecture \
    --depth 2 \
    --top-k 5

Ask (Interactive Chat)

Start an interactive chat session with your vault context:

memograph --vault ~/my-vault ask --chat --provider ollama --model llama3

Or ask a single question:

memograph --vault ~/my-vault ask \
    --query "Summarize our design decisions" \
    --provider claude \
    --model claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620

Diagnostics

Check your environment and connection to LLM providers:

memograph --vault ~/my-vault doctor

📖 Core Concepts

Memory Types

MemoGraph supports different types of memories inspired by cognitive science:

• Episodic: Personal experiences and events (e.g., meeting notes)
• Semantic: Facts and general knowledge (e.g., documentation)
• Procedural: How-to knowledge and processes (e.g., tutorials)
• Fact: Discrete factual information (e.g., configuration values)

Graph Traversal

The library uses BFS (Breadth-First Search) to traverse your knowledge graph:

# Retrieve nodes with depth=2 (2 hops from seed nodes)
nodes = kernel.retrieve_nodes(
    query="graph algorithms",
    depth=2,  # Traverse up to 2 levels deep
    top_k=10  # Return top 10 relevant memories
)

Salience Scoring

Each memory has a salience score (0.0-1.0) that represents its importance:

---
title: "Critical Architecture Decision"
salience: 0.9
memory_type: semantic
---

We decided to use PostgreSQL for better ACID guarantees...
