Common questions

Is MemoryGuard safe?

It passed 2 of 2 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 41 days ago, and the latest version (0.7.15) reached the registry 41 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MemoryGuard

Governed shared memory for coding agents.

Local-first MCP memory with automatic organization, scoped rules, evidence, and rollback.

中文文档

Let agents write without turning shared memory into an unreviewed pile.

MemoryGuard organizes each write, preserves the evidence behind changes, and

keeps governance decisions reversible.

**No account. No remote server. No remote telemetry. Local-only usage telemetry

is optional and stores bounded, privacy-preserving aggregates locally.**

Quick start · Upgrade · Knowledge Library · Architecture · Supported hosts · Privacy and safety

A synthetic governed projection: signals move through memory categories while raw conversation text remains outside the graph.

What's New in v0.7.15

Automatic CodeGraph builds: Trusted bootstrap starts a project's first build in a background process. Default and per-project switches persist; disabling automation preserves the graph. Supported file-write events trigger incremental refresh.
Clear graph navigation: Switch between a file overview and symbols, filter by file, inspect neighboring relations, and use zoom controls.
Bounded temporary storage: Ordinary graph queries read SQLite directly instead of retaining full-database copies. Validation and installation temporary files use the owning project/deployment cache and are cleaned up when the operation ends.

See the v0.7.15 release note and CodeGraph automation details. Reconnect or restart hosts after upgrading and repairing their provider integration.

Earlier governance improvements

v0.7.13 strengthens mandatory-rule replacement and recovery, improves audience-aware identity handling, and improves conflict resolution:

Safe mandatory-rule replacement: Replacements validate the final mandatory package against audience matching, canonical rules, deduplication, sensitivity checks, and publication budgets. Equivalent unlocked predecessors retire in the same transaction; failed validation rolls back the complete update. See the replacement and recovery details.
Native Agent/group audience matching: Matching and deduplication no longer split the same native audience solely by provider or runtime role. Distinct Agent identities remain separate, and project-scoped audiences retain their project boundaries. Provider repair uses the verified identity for its target provider.
Readable, atomic conflict resolution: Conflict views preserve readable peer information, and resolution keeps peer groups intact while applying the selected changes atomically. Ambiguous conflicts remain unresolved.
Cursor Hook protection: Cursor MemoryGuard Hooks now use a 30-second timeout, up from 15 seconds, with failClosed: true.

v0.7.14 only corrects release metadata for the GitHub repository rename; it does not change runtime behavior. See the v0.7.14 release note.

See the v0.7.13 release note and release history.

Earlier release details are kept in the Changelog and GitHub release records.

Token evidence and demo

Usage events distinguish measured_cached_input from measured_cache_write_input. measured_cache_coverage.cache_read and cache_write report complete, partial, or unavailable; measured zero remains 0, while missing provider data remains None/unavailable. Character-based estimates remain explicitly labelled estimated mg_deterministic_unit, never provider tokens.

Run the benchmark only against an authorized local workspace:

python scripts/benchmark_usage_telemetry.py --workspace . --window-days 7 --sync

Read the benchmark guide for measured, estimated, derived, and unsupported semantics. Use the demo recording checklist for a sanitized walkthrough. The repository's synthetic graph artwork is not a live product capture; it is not evidence of usage or savings.

Major V2 refactor in v0.6.0

v0.6.0 was a production data-plane refactor, not a storage-only upgrade:

Authoritative V2 domains: Memory, Rules, Evidence, Content, Runtime, Projection, Assets, CodeGraph, Skills, and System state are separated into explicit SQLite domains with governed boundaries.
Explicit cutover: V1_ACTIVE → V2_BUILDING → V2_READY → V2_ACTIVE is fail-closed; V2 never silently falls back to legacy stores or dual-writes after READY/ACTIVE.
Lossless migration: frozen-source preparation uses coherent SQLite online backups, validates source/target evidence, rechecks live-source drift, and preserves V1 data plus migration backups for rollback.
Native routing: MCP, CLI, GUI, and Hook surfaces are classified explicitly; the release closed the 233-surface cutover with 138 implemented routes, 95 retired routes, and zero neutral/blocker routes.
Governed intelligence: Rule lifecycle and RuleMerge, extraction/enrichment, External MCP import, provider control-plane, conversation history, Knowledge Library, and GUI governance all use the V2 evidence and decision paths.
Operational evidence: Reference Audit, per-domain SQLite health, guarded maintenance, rollback evidence, and safe unbound diagnostics are part of readiness and operations.

Why MemoryGuard

Persistent memory solves storage. It does not solve governance.

When several coding agents write into the same context, records become duplicated, stale, contradictory, over-broad, or unsafe to reuse. MemoryGuard sits between coding agents and their shared memory to keep that context usable.

Without governance	With MemoryGuard
Notes accumulate without a canonical state	Writes are classified, deduplicated, superseded, or surfaced as conflicts
A correction silently destroys the old value	Evidence and supersede chains preserve what changed and why
Tokens and credentials can remain active	Sensitive-looking content is quarantined from active memory
Every write needs manual approval	Agents write normally; people review exceptions and outcomes
Raw chat logs leak into future context	Conversation history remains a separate, explicitly read evidence archive
