Roadmap (current = Phase 3 / v2.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 + vector search (sqlite-vec locally, Vectorize on Cloudflare), 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-commitskills 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-bootstrapskill. - 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_audittable with prev/new state hashes) + new actions (entity_search/entity_graph/history) + opt-inKG_AUTO_ENABLEDauto-extract on capture. BREAKING for clients that calledmemory.getexpecting historical-inclusive results: passas_offor 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.

~/.mnemo-mcp/tokens/with 600 permissions - Input validation -- Sync provider, folder, remote validated against allowlists
- Error sanitization -- No credentials in error messages
Build from Source
git clone https://github.com/n24q02m/mnemo-mcp.git
cd mnemo-mcp
uv sync
uv run mnemo-mcp
CLI
The mnemo-mcp console script both starts the server and exposes a few one-shot operator subcommands. A bare invocation (or any ---prefixed flag) starts the server; a leading subcommand runs an action and exits.
mnemo-mcp # start the stdio server (default transport)
mnemo-mcp --http # start the Streamable HTTP server
# (also via MCP_TRANSPORT=http or TRANSPORT_MODE=http)
mnemo-mcp auth google # authorize Google Drive sync via OAuth
mnemo-mcp auth google --client-id <ID> --client-secret <SECRET> # bring-your-own OAuth client
mnemo-mcp logout # clear the local Google Drive sync token
mnemo-mcp warmup # pre-download the bundled local embedding + rerank model
mnemo-mcp config status # report whether stored config exists
mnemo-mcp config delete --yes # delete the stored (encrypted) config
mnemo-mcp relay status # show the active browser-setup relay session
mnemo-mcp relay open # open the relay setup form in a browser
mnemo-mcp relay reset # clear relay session state
mnemo-mcp doctor # environment diagnostics (Python, backend, store, mode)
| Subcommand | Purpose |
|---|---|
auth <provider> |
Authorize a sync credential provider (currently google); --client-id / --client-secret supply a bring-your-own OAuth client |
warmup |
Pre-download the bundled local Qwen3 ONNX embedding + rerank model so first use works offline |
config status | config delete [--yes] |
Inspect or remove the stored encrypted configuration |
relay status | relay open | relay reset |
Inspect, open, or clear the zero-config browser setup session |
doctor |
Report Python version, credential backend, store dir, config, relay session, and storage mode |
Remote (HTTP mode)
Deployed over HTTP, mnemo speaks Streamable HTTP transport and is OAuth-gated. Point any MCP client that supports remote HTTP + OAuth at https://<your-host>/mcp and authenticate on first connect; each authenticated user gets an isolated per-user credential store (see Trust Model). To stand up an instance, see Deploy to Cloudflare.
Deploy to Cloudflare
Run your own mnemo instance serverless on Cloudflare (Containers + D1 + Vectorize + KV).
Prerequisites: a Cloudflare account on the Workers Paid plan — required for Containers, D1, and Vectorize (the Cloudflare free tier does not include them) — and the wrangler CLI.
git clone https://github.com/n24q02m/mnemo-mcp && cd mnemo-mcpwrangler login- Provision the storage bindings mnemo uses -- the memories database, the embedding
index, and the encrypted credential store:
Paste the returned D1 database ID and KV namespace ID intowrangler d1 create mnemo-memories wrangler vectorize create mnemo-memory-vectors --dimensions 768 --metric cosine wrangler kv namespace create mnemo-kvwrangler.jsonc(the Vectorize index binds by name, so no ID is needed), then create the memories schema (tables, indexes, and the FTS5 full-text index) in the database you just made:
The SQL lives inwrangler d1 migrations apply mnemo-memories --remotemigrations/0001_init.sql, and the D1 binding inwrangler.jsoncpoints at that folder viamigrations_dir: "migrations". Full-text search uses FTS5, which D1 ships; vector similarity is served by Vectorize rather than by an in-database extension, because D1 cannot load one. - Push the container image to your Cloudflare managed registry (CF Containers cannot
pull from external registries directly), then set
<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>inwrangler.jsonc:docker pull ghcr.io/n24q02m/mnemo-mcp:beta docker tag ghcr.io/n24q02m/mnemo-mcp:beta mnemo-mcp:beta wrangler containers push mnemo-mcp:beta # prints registry.cloudflare.com/<ACCOUNT_ID>/mnemo-mcp:beta - Set
<YOUR_PUBLIC_URL>(e.g.https://mnemo.example.com) and<YOUR_WORKER_DOMAIN>(e.g.mnemo.example.com) inwrangler.jsonc, then set the secrets:wrangler secret put CREDENTIAL_SECRET # per-user vault key (encrypts the cf-kv credential store) wrangler secret put MCP_RELAY_PASSWORD # shared password gating the browser setup form wrangler secret put MCP_DCR_SERVER_SECRET # required once PUBLIC_URL is set (multi-user, per-JWT-sub) wrangler secret put JINA_AI_API_KEY # EMBEDDING_MODELS + RERANK_MODELS (cloud embed / rerank) wrangler secret put GOOGLE_VERTEX_EXPRESS_API_KEY # LLM_MODELS (graph extraction, importance, consolidation) wrangler deployand complete setup in the browser relay form at your Worker domain.
Storage maps to Cloudflare via MCP_STORAGE_BACKEND=cf-kv (credentials / tokens, encrypted),
MEMORY_DB_BACKEND=cf-d1 (the memories database + FTS5 full-text; unset or sqlite
keeps the local SQLite file at DB_PATH), and Vectorize (embeddings,
cosine). Embedding and reranking are forced cloud through the EMBEDDING_MODELS /
RERANK_MODELS chains (jina_ai/...) so the container never downloads the local Qwen3 ONNX
models, and graph / LLM features run through the LLM_MODELS chain (vertex_express/...).
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) |
Workspace username (HTTP setup form)
The browser setup form has an optional workspace username field. Entering the
same username always lands you in the same per-sub bucket, so your credentials
and memories stay reachable across a re-authorization and across devices, instead
of being tied to the one-off subject minted for each /authorize round-trip.
Leaving it blank keeps the previous per-authorize behaviour.
Trust boundary: when the form is gated by a shared MCP_RELAY_PASSWORD, the
username is a partition key, not a secret -- anyone who knows that password can
type any username and reach that bucket. That is fine for a trusted group; an
untrusted multi-tenant deployment needs a per-user secret or delegated OAuth
instead.
One-time migration: existing users must re-enter their credentials once after this change. Nothing is deleted; credentials stored under the old random subject are simply no longer addressed.
