🚀 What's New in v0.8.2

  • 🔐 AES-256-GCM Field Encryption — Encrypt memory content at rest with OWASP-compliant key derivation
  • 🛡️ Enterprise Security Suite — PII detection, anomaly monitoring, audit logging
  • 📦 MCP Registry Published — Discoverable as io.github.remembra-ai/remembra in Claude Desktop
  • ⚡ One-Command Quick Startcurl | bash zero-config setup with Ollama embeddings
  • 🔌 Multi-Provider Support — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Ollama for embeddings & entity extraction
  • 📊 Usage Warning Banners — API responses include usage thresholds at 60/80/95%

The Problem

Every AI app needs memory. Your chatbot forgets users between sessions. Your agent can't recall decisions from yesterday. Your assistant asks the same questions over and over.

Existing solutions have tradeoffs:

  • Mem0: Graph features require $249/mo plan; limited self-hosting documentation
  • Zep: Academic approach, complex deployment
  • Letta: Research-grade, not production-ready
  • LangChain Memory: Too basic, no persistence

The Solution

from remembra import Memory

memory = Memory(user_id="user_123")

# Store — entities and facts extracted automatically
memory.store("Had a meeting with Sarah from Acme Corp. She prefers email over Slack.")

# Recall — semantic search finds relevant memories
result = memory.recall("How should I contact Sarah?")
print(result.context)
# → "Sarah from Acme Corp prefers email over Slack."

# It knows "Sarah" and "Acme Corp" are entities. It builds relationships.
# It persists across sessions, reboots, context windows. Forever.

⚡ Quick Start (2 Minutes)

One Command Install

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/remembra-ai/remembra/main/quickstart.sh | bash

That's it. Remembra + Qdrant + Ollama start locally. No API keys needed.

Or with Docker Compose directly:

git clone https://github.com/remembra-ai/remembra && cd remembra
docker compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml up -d

Try it:

# Store a memory
curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/api/v1/memories/store \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "Alice is CEO of Acme Corp", "user_id": "demo"}'

# Recall it
curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/api/v1/memories/recall \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "Who runs Acme?", "user_id": "demo"}'

Connect to Claude (MCP)

Claude Desktop — add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remembra": {
      "command": "remembra-mcp",
      "env": {
        "REMEMBRA_URL": "http://localhost:8787",
        "REMEMBRA_USER_ID": "default"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add remembra -e REMEMBRA_URL=http://localhost:8787 -- remembra-mcp

Cursor — add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remembra": {
      "command": "remembra-mcp",
      "env": {
        "REMEMBRA_URL": "http://localhost:8787"
      }
    }
  }
}

Now ask Claude: "Remember that Alice is CEO of Acme Corp" — then later: "Who runs Acme?"

Python SDK

pip install remembra
from remembra import Memory

memory = Memory(user_id="user_123")
memory.store("Had a meeting with Sarah from Acme Corp. She prefers email over Slack.")
result = memory.recall("How should I contact Sarah?")
print(result.context)  # "Sarah from Acme Corp prefers email over Slack."

TypeScript SDK

npm install remembra
import { Remembra } from 'remembra';

const memory = new Remembra({ url: 'http://localhost:8787' });
await memory.store('User prefers dark mode');
const result = await memory.recall('preferences');

Core Features

🧠 Smart Extraction — LLM-powered fact extraction from raw text

👥 Entity Resolution — "Adam", "Mr. Smith", "my husband" → same person

⏱️ Temporal Memory — TTL, decay curves, historical queries

🔍 Hybrid Search — Semantic + keyword for accurate recall

🔒 Security — PII detection, anomaly monitoring, audit logs

📊 Dashboard — Visual memory browser, entity graphs, analytics


📊 Benchmark Results

Tested on the LoCoMo benchmark (Snap Research, ACL 2024) — the standard academic benchmark for AI memory systems.

Category Accuracy Questions
Single-hop (direct recall) 100% 37
Multi-hop (cross-session reasoning) 100% 32
Temporal (time-based queries) 100% 13
Open-domain (world knowledge + memory) 100% 70
Overall (memory categories) 100% 152

Scored with LLM judge (GPT-4o-mini). Adversarial detection not yet implemented. Run your own: python benchmarks/locomo_runner.py --data /tmp/locomo/data/locomo10.json
