Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Reconciling memory for AI agents: a changed fact retires the old value, with history and approval.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Search & AI memory
  • You need to fill in: OPENAI_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: OPENAI_API_KEY, VAYL_DB

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vayl": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "vayl-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "VAYL_DB": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add vayl --env OPENAI_API_KEY=your-value --env VAYL_DB=your-value -- uvx vayl-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vayl": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "vayl-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "VAYL_DB": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "vayl": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "vayl-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "VAYL_DB": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • OPENAI_API_KEY secret env
    OpenAI key for extraction and embeddings. Leave unset to use a local Ollama model.
  • VAYL_DB env
    Absolute path of the SQLite memory database.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Vayl safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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: OPENAI_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 –, and the latest version (0.10.0) reached the registry 16 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?

Vayl

The reconciling memory layer for AI agents.

When a fact changes, most agent memory keeps both versions and lets the model guess which is current. Vayl replaces the old value, keeps it in history, and can hold high-stakes changes until a person approves them. It runs locally on SQLite and works with any MCP client: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, or your own agent.

A real run with gpt-6-luna and the clinical preset. The patient is fictional. Script: assets/demo/clinical_demo.py

Features

  • Reconciles changes. A new value supersedes the old one, and "we stopped X" retracts X. A retired fact is never returned as current.
  • Keeps history. Ask what is true now or what was true before. Every change goes on a signed, tamper-evident audit chain.
  • Human approval where it matters. Mark slots such as medications as confirm-required, and changes wait in a queue. check_before_act blocks an action that depends on a disputed, stale or just-changed fact.
  • Small and local. SQLite by default, Postgres for teams. One model call to store a fact and one to answer. Any OpenAI-compatible model, Anthropic, Groq or a local Ollama model.
  • Built-in presets for clinical, support, finance, sales, coding and assistant memory.

Install

pip install vayl-mcp

Add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add vayl -e LLM_PROVIDER=openai -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... -e VAYL_DB=$HOME/.vayl/vayl.db -- vayl-mcp

For Cursor, Claude Desktop and other clients, see the quickstart. Run vayl-demo to try reconciliation with no API key.

Use it from code

from vayl import Vayl

with Vayl(user_id="cust_5521") as m: m.remember("Acme's invoice bounced. Account suspended until payment clears.") print(m.recall("Is Acme's account in good standing?"))

No. Acme's account is suspended until payment clears.

Integrations

Agent frameworks. Backends plug into the framework's own memory, so facts are stored and recalled on every turn. Tool adapters give the agent memory tools to call.

Examples for each are in Agent frameworks.

MCP clients. Install vayl-mcp, then add it to your client: Claude Code · Cursor · VS Code · Windsurf · Zed · Cline · Continue · Codex CLI · Gemini CLI. For a shared team memory, run vayl-server and call it over MCP or REST.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md. The unit tests run offline, with no API key. Good starting points are labeled good first issue.

Security

Data is encrypted at rest by default, and Vayl sends nothing anywhere except to the model endpoints you configure. Vayl is not certified for clinical use and has not been audited by a third party. Report vulnerabilities as described in SECURITY.md.
