MemoGraph 🧠
A graph-based memory system for LLMs with intelligent retrieval. MemoGraph provides a powerful solution to the LLM memory problem by combining knowledge graphs, hybrid retrieval, and semantic search.
✨ Features
- 🤖 Smart Auto-Organization Engine: Automatically extract structured information from memories using LLMs
- Topics, subtopics, and recurring themes
- People with roles and organizations
- Action items with assignees and deadlines
- Decisions, questions, and sentiment analysis
- Risks, ideas, and timeline events
- Graph-Based Memory: Navigate knowledge using bidirectional wikilinks and backlinks
- Hybrid Retrieval: Combines keyword matching, graph traversal, and optional vector embeddings
- Markdown-Native: Human-readable markdown files with YAML frontmatter
- Memory Types: Support for episodic, semantic, procedural, and fact-based memories
- Smart Indexing: Efficient caching system that only re-indexes changed files
- CLI & Python API: Use via command line or integrate into your Python applications
- Multiple LLM Providers: Works with Ollama, Claude, and OpenAI
- Context Compression: Intelligent token budgeting for optimal context windows
- Salience Scoring: Memory importance ranking for better retrieval

Install from MCP Registry
NEW: MemoGraph is now available in the official MCP Registry!
# Install via MCP CLI (if available)
mcp install io.github.indhar01/memograph
# Or manually configure in your MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"memograph": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "memograph.mcp.run_server"],
"env": {
"MEMOGRAPH_VAULT": "~/my-vault"
}
}
}
}
Benefits of MCP Registry:
- ✅ Official registry backed by Anthropic, GitHub, and Microsoft
- ✅ Automatic version updates from PyPI
- ✅ Discoverable by all MCP-compatible clients
- ✅ Verified and trusted installation
See MCP_REGISTRY_GUIDE.md for complete submission and configuration guide.
Usage Examples
Once configured, use natural language with your AI assistant:
"Search my vault for memories about Python"
"Create a memory titled 'Project Ideas' with content '...'"
"Update memory abc-123 to have salience 0.9"
"Delete memory xyz-456"
"What tools are available?"
"Get vault statistics"
See CONFIG_REFERENCE.md for complete MCP configuration guide.
🎯 CLI Usage
MemoGraph comes with a powerful CLI for managing your vault and chatting with it.
Ingest
Index your markdown files into the graph database:
memograph --vault ~/my-vault ingest
Force re-indexing all files:
memograph --vault ~/my-vault ingest --force
Remember
Quickly add a memory from the command line:
memograph --vault ~/my-vault remember \
--title "Team Sync" \
--content "Discussed Q3 goals." \
--tags planning q3
Context Window
Generate context for a query:
memograph --vault ~/my-vault context \
--query "What did we decide about the database?" \
--tags architecture \
--depth 2 \
--top-k 5
Ask (Interactive Chat)
Start an interactive chat session with your vault context:
memograph --vault ~/my-vault ask --chat --provider ollama --model llama3
Or ask a single question:
memograph --vault ~/my-vault ask \
--query "Summarize our design decisions" \
--provider claude \
--model claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620
Diagnostics
Check your environment and connection to LLM providers:
memograph --vault ~/my-vault doctor
📖 Core Concepts
Memory Types
MemoGraph supports different types of memories inspired by cognitive science:
- Episodic: Personal experiences and events (e.g., meeting notes)
- Semantic: Facts and general knowledge (e.g., documentation)
- Procedural: How-to knowledge and processes (e.g., tutorials)
- Fact: Discrete factual information (e.g., configuration values)
Graph Traversal
The library uses BFS (Breadth-First Search) to traverse your knowledge graph:
# Retrieve nodes with depth=2 (2 hops from seed nodes)
nodes = kernel.retrieve_nodes(
query="graph algorithms",
depth=2, # Traverse up to 2 levels deep
top_k=10 # Return top 10 relevant memories
)
Salience Scoring
Each memory has a salience score (0.0-1.0) that represents its importance:
---
title: "Critical Architecture Decision"
salience: 0.9
memory_type: semantic
---
We decided to use PostgreSQL for better ACID guarantees...
