Common questions

Is Lore Context safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: LORE_API_URL, LORE_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 31 days ago, and the latest version (0.6.0-alpha.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Lore Context

The control plane for AI-agent memory, eval, and governance.

Know what every agent remembered, used, and should forget — before memory becomes production risk.

What is Lore Context

Lore Context is an open-core control plane for AI-agent memory: it composes context across memory, search, repository graphs, and tool traces; evaluates retrieval quality on your own datasets; routes governance review for sensitive content; and exports memory as a portable interchange format you can move between backends.

It does not try to be another memory database. The unique value is what sits on top of memory:

Context Query — single endpoint composes memory + web + repo + tool traces, returns a graded context block with provenance.
Memory Eval — runs Recall@K, Precision@K, MRR, stale-hit-rate, p95 latency on datasets you own; persists runs and diffs them for regression detection.
Governance Review — six-state lifecycle (candidate / active / flagged / redacted / superseded / deleted), risk-tag scanning, poisoning heuristics, immutable audit log.
MIF-like Portability — JSON + Markdown export/import preserving provenance / validity / confidence / source_refs / supersedes / contradicts. Works as a migration format between memory backends.
Repo Graph — deterministic repository indexing (files, symbols, imports, calls, routes, tests) exposed as API routes and read-only MCP tools so agents ground repository answers in a stable project-context contract.
Multi-Agent Adapter — first-class agentmemory integration with version probe + degraded-mode fallback; clean adapter contract for additional runtimes.

When to use it

Use Lore Context when...	Use a memory database (agentmemory, Mem0, Supermemory) when...
You need to prove what your agent remembered, why, and whether it was used	You just need raw memory storage
You run multiple agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Qwen, Hermes, Dify) and want shared trustable context	You're building a single agent and OK with a vendor-locked memory tier
You require local or private deployment for compliance	You prefer a hosted SaaS
You need eval on your own datasets, not vendor benchmarks	Vendor benchmarks are sufficient signal
You want to migrate memory between systems	You don't plan to ever switch backends

Quick Start

# 1. Clone + install

git clone https://github.com/Lore-Context/lore-context.git cd lore-context && pnpm install

2. Run the quickstart helper and inspect the activation report

pnpm quickstart -- --dry-run --activation-report

3. Generate a real API key (do not use placeholders in any environment beyond local-only dev)

export LORE_API_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)

4. Start the API (file-backed, no Postgres required)

pnpm build && PORT=3000 LORE_STORE_PATH=./data/lore-store.json pnpm start:api

5. Write a memory

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LORE_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/v1/memory/write \ -d '{"content":"Use RDS as truth store and Qdrant as the derived recall index for Lore Context production.","memory_type":"project_rule","project_id":"demo"}'

6. Query context, then inspect the returned traceId in the Evidence Ledger

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LORE_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/v1/context/query \ -d '{"query":"production storage","project_id":"demo","token_budget":1200}'

For the public website quickstart, see lorecontext.com/quickstart. For full setup (Postgres, Docker Compose, Dashboard, MCP integration), see docs/getting-started.md.

The canonical alpha quickstart is git clone + pnpm quickstart. Lore does not currently publish or claim a public @lore-context/quickstart npm package. The MCP stdio server is published separately as @lore-context/server for registry and client distribution, and the SDK middleware ships as @lore-context/sdk-middleware (npm) and lore-context-middleware (PyPI).

For AI-readable discovery, the website publishes /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt from public documentation only. The Official MCP Registry entry is published, and additional distribution drafts live under docs/distribution. Launch drafts live under docs/launch, and design partner intake under docs/design-partners. The public benchmark page is a reproducible methodology and small smoke-run report, not a competitive benchmark-win claim.

Architecture

The diagram below shows the full open-core plus hosted-production shape. In the public OSS repo, local file/Postgres deployment is supported directly; hosted Google sign-in, AWS SQS workers, private embeddings, billing, and multi-tenant operations are commercial hosted-cloud surfaces.

For detail, see docs/architecture.md.

What's in v2.1.0

v2.1.0 is the Repo Graph API and MCP Tools release. It makes Lore's own repository graph a first-class agent memory surface: deterministic TypeScript/JavaScript repository indexing for files, symbols, imports, calls, routes, tests, and process hints, exposed through API routes and read-only MCP tools so agents ground repository answers in a stable project-context contract instead of ad hoc text search.

v2.1.0 is the current open-core source line. The hosted Lore Cloud production line also runs v2.1.0 on the commercial AWS/Qdrant/private-embedding substrate, but hosted operations, billing, production release automation, and Secret Vault runtime stay in Lore-Context/lore-cloud.
