Project description

MindCore Memory MCP

mcp-name: io.github.woshilaohei/mindcore-memory

AI Long-Term Memory Server — persistent memory with hybrid search for AI agents.

"The best AI agent isn't the smartest — it's the one that remembers."

Why MindCore Memory

AI agents face a fundamental limitation: they forget everything between sessions.

Pain Point Without Memory With MindCore Memory
Session Amnesia Re-teach every conversation Persistent cross-session recall
Memory Overload All memories equal weight Importance grading + smart pruning
Poor Search Keyword-only, misses semantics Hybrid: BM25 keyword + FAISS semantic
Zero Continuity Every session starts from scratch Knowledge accumulates over time

MindCore Memory is the persistence layer for AI agents. Built as an MCP server, it plugs into any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, etc.).

Quick Start

# 1. Install
pip install mindcore-memory

# 2. Launch MCP Server (stdio mode)
mindcore-memory

# 3. Your AI agent can now call:
memory_store(
    content="User's name is Zhang San, prefers Python, free on Wednesdays",
    importance=3,
    tags=["user-profile", "schedule"],
    confidence=0.95
)

# 4. Recall later (even across sessions!)
memory_recall(query="Zhang San's schedule", limit=5)

Installation

Via pip

pip install mindcore-memory

Via pipx

pipx install mindcore-memory

Semantic Search (optional)

For full hybrid search with FAISS embeddings:

pip install mindcore-memory[semantic]

This installs sentence-transformers, faiss-cpu, and numpy. Without it, search falls back to BM25 keyword-only mode.

From Source

git clone https://github.com/woshilaohei/mindcore-memory-mcp.git
cd mindcore-memory-mcp
pip install -e .

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • No external database required (embedded JSONL + optional FAISS)

MCP Client Setup

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline

{
  "mcpServers": {

HTTP mode (remote deployment)

mindcore-memory --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 --token your-secret-token

Core Tools

memory_store — Store a Memory

content:    string (required) — the memory content. Max 100K chars.
importance: int 1-4 (default 2) — 1=episodic, 2=working, 3=semantic, 4=critical
tags:       list of strings — for categorization and filtering
confidence: float 0.0-1.0 (default 0.5) — how certain you are
source:     string (default "agent") — "agent", "user", or "tool"
session_id: string — group related memories by session

Returns a memory_id for later reference.

memory_recall — Search Memories

query:      string (required) — what you're looking for
tags:       list of strings — optional tag filter
session_id: string — optional session filter
limit:      int 1-100 (default 10) — max results

Returns ranked results by hybrid score: BM25 keyword (40%) + FAISS semantic (50%) + importance (5%) + recency (5%).

memory_context — Build Context Window

query:      string (required) — current task or question
max_tokens: int (default 2000) — max context size
session_id: string — prioritize memories from this session

Returns a formatted context string ready for LLM injection. Auto-sorts by importance and relevance.

memory_update_confidence — Adjust Confidence

memory_id:  string (required) — the memory to update
confidence: float 0.0-1.0 (required) — new confidence value

Use when an agent discovers a memory was wrong or needs reinforcement.

memory_delete — Remove a Memory

memory_id:  string (required) — the memory to delete

Irreversible. Use with caution.

memory_stats — System Statistics

No arguments. Returns total count, importance distribution, average confidence, tag counts, storage path.

  • Hybrid Search: BM25 keyword match + FAISS semantic embeddings for best precision and recall
  • IVF Index: FAISS inverted file index activates at 500+ memories for O(sqrt N) search
  • Embedded: No PostgreSQL, Redis, or external services needed
  • MCP Native: Implements Model Context Protocol over stdio and HTTP transports
  • Input Validation: Server-level sanitization prevents injection attacks
