Roadmap (current = Phase 1 / v1.x)

Phase	Version	Status	Highlights
Phase 1	v1.x	Shipped	Typed memory(action="capture") (6 context_types + dedup) -- RRF (k=60) hybrid fusion + cross-encoder rerank + temporal decay -- importance x recency archive policy + restore -- Alembic migrations -- multi-provider LLM dispatch -- plugin trinity (recall-context + memory-commit skills, SessionStart + opt-in PostToolUse hooks)
Phase 2	v1.x+1	Shipped	LLM-driven compression of older memories + Passport sync (encrypted import/export bundle for cross-machine bootstrap) -- AES-256-GCM + Argon2id, S3 / R2 / B2 / MinIO + GDrive backends, delta-sync with LWW per row
Phase 3	v2.0.0	Shipped (BREAKING)	Temporal knowledge graph -- bitemporal valid_from / valid_to columns -- entity resolution via embedding KNN -- entity_search / entity_graph / history actions -- KG-aware passport bundle sections -- KG_AUTO_ENABLED opt-in auto-extract on capture

Features

• Hybrid retrieval -- FTS5 + sqlite-vec, fused via Reciprocal Rank Fusion (k=60), then re-ranked by a configurable rerank chain (RERANK_MODELS, order = litellm fallback; empty -> local qwen3-reranker) with temporal decay and importance boost
• Typed capture -- memory(action="capture") with 6 context_types (conversation/fact/preference/skill/task/decision), embedding-based dedup, and a configurable LLM chain (LLM_MODELS, order = litellm fallback)
• Knowledge graph -- Automatic entity extraction and relation tracking; top results boosted by graph proximity
• Importance scoring + archive policy -- LLM-scored 0.0-1.0 importance; soft-archive when recency_factor * (1 - importance) > 1.0; restore action available
• Auto-archive trigger -- Background sweep every Nth capture (default 100) -- no cron required
• STM-to-LTM consolidation -- LLM summarization of related memories in a category
• Duplicate detection -- Warns before adding semantically similar memories
• Zero config -- Built-in local Qwen3 ONNX embedding + reranking, no API keys needed. Optional cloud providers (Jina AI, Gemini, OpenAI, Cohere)
• Multi-machine sync -- JSONL-based merge sync via Google Drive (bundled Desktop OAuth public client)
• Plugin trinity -- Ships /recall-context + /memory-commit skills and SessionStart + opt-in PostToolUse hooks (see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md)
• Proactive memory -- Tool descriptions and skills guide AI to save preferences, decisions, facts at the right moment
• LLM compression -- Per-turn compression via the multi-provider dispatcher targets ~3x token reduction at >=0.9 fact retention; graceful skip when no provider configured (see docs/compression.md)
• Encrypted passport sync -- AES-256-GCM bundles + Argon2id KDF, S3 (R2 / B2 / MinIO) and Google Drive backends, delta-sync with last-write-wins per row (see docs/passport.md). Bootstrap via the passport-bootstrap skill.
• Temporal knowledge graph -- Bitemporal columns (valid_from / valid_to / superseded_by) on every memory + entity-resolution dedup (embedding KNN at default 0.85 cosine threshold) + audit trail (memory_audit table with prev/new state hashes) + new actions (entity_search / entity_graph / history) + opt-in KG_AUTO_ENABLED auto-extract on capture. BREAKING for clients that called memory.get expecting historical-inclusive results: pass as_of for time-travel; default now filters to current-state (valid_to IS NULL).

Status

2026-05-02 -- Architecture stabilization update

Past months saw significant churn around credential handling and the daemon-bridge auto-spawn pattern. This caused multi-process races, browser tab spam, and inconsistent setup UX across plugins. The architecture is now stable: 2 clean modes (stdio + HTTP), no daemon-bridge layer, no auto-spawn from stdio.

Apologies for the instability period. If you encountered issues with prior versions, please update to the latest release and follow the current setup docs -- most prior workarounds are no longer needed.

Tools

15 MCP tools, 17 memory actions. The memory surface is exposed both as 11 specialized single-purpose tools and a legacy memory dispatcher (same actions), plus config, help, and config__open_relay:

Trust Model

This plugin implements TC-Local (machine-bound, single trust principal). The mode/storage/encryption breakdown below is the full classification.

Mode	Storage	Encryption	Who can read your data?
stdio (default)	~/.mnemo-mcp/config.json	AES-GCM, machine-bound key	Only your OS user (file perm 0600)
HTTP self-host	Same as stdio	Same	Only you (admin = user)
HTTP multi-user remote (PUBLIC_URL)	Per-JWT-sub credential store	AES-GCM	Only the authenticated user (per-sub isolation)
