memoryhub 0.3.0

Centralized, governed memory for AI agents

memoryhub

Centralized, governed memory for AI agents.

MemoryHub provides a persistent memory layer for AI agents running on OpenShift AI, with scope-based access control, multi-tenant isolation, and an immutable audit trail. It works with any agent framework — LlamaStack, LangChain, Claude Code, Cursor, and more.

Status: Alpha (v0.1.0). Core operations are stable; curation and relationship APIs may evolve.

Installation

pip install memoryhub

Requires Python 3.10+.

Quick start

import asyncio
from memoryhub import MemoryHubClient

async def main():
    client = MemoryHubClient(
        url="https://mcp-server.apps.example.com/mcp/",
        auth_url="https://auth-server.apps.example.com",
        client_id="my-agent",
        client_secret="my-secret",
    )

    async with client:
        # Search memories
        results = await client.search("deployment patterns", max_results=5)
        for memory in results.results:
            print(f"[{memory.scope}] {memory.content[:80]}")

        # Write a memory
        written = await client.write(
            "FastAPI is the preferred web framework",
            scope="project",
            weight=0.85,
        )
        print(f"Created: {written.memory.id}")

        # Read it back
        memory = await client.read(written.memory.id)
        print(memory.content)

        # Update it
        updated = await client.update(written.memory.id, weight=0.9)
        print(f"Version: {updated.version}")

asyncio.run(main())

Environment variables

Instead of passing credentials directly, use MemoryHubClient.from_env():

export MEMORYHUB_URL="https://mcp-server.apps.example.com/mcp/"
export MEMORYHUB_AUTH_URL="https://auth-server.apps.example.com"
export MEMORYHUB_CLIENT_ID="my-agent"
export MEMORYHUB_CLIENT_SECRET="my-secret"

client = MemoryHubClient.from_env()

Project configuration

MemoryHubClient.from_env() (and construction without an explicit project_config argument) auto-discovers .memoryhub.yaml by walking up from the current working directory. If found, the file's retrieval_defaults are applied to outbound calls whenever the caller omits the corresponding argument, and memory_loading.live_subscription controls whether the client subscribes to push updates on connect.

In practice that means a caller can write a plain search and inherit the project's retrieval policy:

client = MemoryHubClient.from_env()
async with client:
    # .memoryhub.yaml sets retrieval_defaults.max_results: 20
    # so this call transparently uses max_results=20
    results = await client.search("deployment patterns")

To opt out of auto-discovery, pass auto_discover_config=False:

client = MemoryHubClient.from_env(auto_discover_config=False)

Or pass an explicit ProjectConfig to the constructor to use a fixed policy regardless of cwd. The recommended way to generate .memoryhub.yaml is the memoryhub-cli wizard (memoryhub config init); see the repo root README for the split between project config (.memoryhub.yaml, committed) and connection config (~/.config/memoryhub/config.json, per-developer).

Sync usage

For non-async contexts, use the _sync variants:

from memoryhub import MemoryHubClient

client = MemoryHubClient(
    url="https://mcp-server.apps.example.com/mcp/",
    auth_url="https://auth-server.apps.example.com",
    client_id="my-agent",
    client_secret="my-secret",
)

results = client.search_sync("deployment patterns")

API reference

Core operations

Method	Description
search(query, *, scope, max_results, ...)	Semantic similarity search
read(memory_id, *, depth, include_versions)	Read a memory by ID
write(content, *, scope, weight, parent_id, ...)	Create a new memory
update(memory_id, *, content, weight, metadata)	Update an existing memory

Lifecycle

Method	Description
get_history(memory_id, *, max_versions)	Version history
report_contradiction(memory_id, observed_behavior, *, confidence)	Flag stale memories

Relationships and curation

Method	Description
get_similar(memory_id, *, threshold)	Find similar memories
get_relationships(node_id, *, relationship_type, direction)	Get memory relationships
create_relationship(source_id, target_id, relationship_type)	Create a relationship
suggest_merge(memory_a_id, memory_b_id, reasoning)	Suggest merging duplicates
set_curation_rule(name, *, tier, action, config)	Configure curation rules

Authentication

The SDK uses OAuth 2.1 client_credentials grant under the hood. Token management is fully automatic — the SDK fetches, caches, and refreshes JWT access tokens transparently. You never need to handle tokens directly.

Further documentation

The SDK is one surface of the memory-hub monorepo. For deeper context:

• Architecture overview — System design, deployment topology, data flow
• MCP server tool reference — The 15 tools the SDK wraps, with parameter reference
• Memory tree data model — How scopes, branches, and versioning work
• Governance and authorization — RBAC, scope-based access, audit trail
• Agent memory ergonomics design — Full .memoryhub.yaml schema, retrieval defaults, session focus, and loading patterns
• Package layout — How memoryhub (this SDK) relates to memoryhub-core (server-side library) and memoryhub-cli
