Semantic memory for AI agents with hybrid search, knowledge graph, and consolidation

Any model. Your memory. Stays local.
neuromcp is the first Sovereign Memory layer for AI: an open-source MCP server that gives Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Ollama persistent, searchable memory — stored entirely on your machine. No API keys. No cloud sync. No subscription required to remember who you are.
Sovereign Memory = data that you own outright, lives on hardware you control, and is portable across every model you use. Cloud memory products own your data; Sovereign Memory means *you* do.
npx neuromcp-init # one command: detects your MCP clients, writes configs, sets up the wiki
Or run the bare server without any setup: npx neuromcp. Something not working? npx neuromcp-doctor diagnoses the daemon, Ollama, embeddings and the database in one run.
*The built-in memory browser: the most-connected entities in a namespace and the relations between them, as a force-directed graph you can drag, zoom and click — served from localhost, never from a cloud. See Memory browser & Obsidian.*
The LLM is a commodity. Your memory is the moat. GPT-5, Claude 4, Gemini — they all converge. The model you use next year will differ. The memory of every conversation, decision, and preference you build is yours. neuromcp keeps that layer on your machine and makes it portable across any MCP-compatible client.
Local-first is a design choice, not a limitation. No telemetry. No data leaves your laptop. No vendor has a copy of your conversations. Audit every line of code that touches your memory. SQLite + local embeddings; everything fits on one disk.
One install. Every client. Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, Continue, LibreChat, Open WebUI — neuromcp speaks MCP, so it works wherever MCP is supported. Switch models tomorrow; your memory follows.
Real recall, not keyword matching. Hybrid retrieval combines vector search (nomic-embed-text, 768-dim), BM25 full-text, graph links, and a learned usefulness prior. At 500 distractors on LongMemEval, R@5 holds at 93.3%. Your context window gets the right memory, not just the most recent.
| Run | Score | Sample | Config |
|---|---|---|---|
| v7 (current) | 96.08% (98/102) | n=102 | Opus generator + Opus judge, single-model |
| v6 | 95.10% (97/102) | n=102 | Same as v7, prior hint set |
Repro: OMB_ANSWER_LLM=claude OMB_ANSWER_MODEL=opus OMB_JUDGE_LLM=claude OMB_JUDGE_MODEL=opus uv run omb run --dataset longmemeval -s s -m neuromcp -c "single-session-user,single-session-assistant,multi-session,temporal-reasoning,knowledge-update,single-session-preference" --query-limit 17
Sample size honesty. n=102 (17 per category × 6 categories). Wilson 95% CI for 98/102 ≈ 90.5–98.7%. Full 500q run with the same config is the next milestone before any "top-tier" claim.
| Mode | R@5 | R@10 | Hit Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extracted (hybrid) | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Oracle-split LongMemEval isolates the correct memory in a small corpus. Every local MCP memory system claims ~99% here. It measures "does the ranker work on clean inputs" — nothing more.
Same 30 questions + 1000 random distractor memories drawn from other questions' haystacks. The correct memory now competes against real noise.
| Embedder | Distractors | N | R@5 | R@10 | MRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ollama nomic-embed-text | 0 (oracle) | 30 | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Ollama nomic-embed-text | 200 | 5 | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Ollama nomic-embed-text | 500 | 30 | 93.3% | 93.3% | 80.3% |
Ollama nomic-embed-text | 1000 | 5 | 100% | 100% | 74% |
Reproduce: npx tsx eval/longmemeval-distractor-runner.ts --limit 5 --distractors 1000
Sample sizes. The 500-distractor row is n=30 (Wilson 95% CI for
28/30 ≈ 78-99% R@5). The 1000-distractor row is n=5 — preliminary,
Wilson 95% CI [57%, 100%]. The 1000-distractor n=30 run takes ~36 min
on a single Ollama instance; cached-distractor batching is v0.19.0
work. Treat 500-distractor numbers as defensible, 1000-distractor as
directionally positive but underpowered.
Head-to-head comparison is explicit v0.19.0 work. Hindsight (local
OSS MCP, ~94.6% LongMemEval claimed) and Mem0/Zep publish their own
numbers on their own harnesses. Until we run all of them against the
same corpus + embedder, calling any local MCP server "state of the art"
is marketing, not measurement. neuromcp publishes its numbers with
sample-size caveats so you can judge direction; don't read absolute
superiority into them yet.
Hybrid ranker (BM25 + vector + attention + graph + usefulness prior) keeps R@5 = 100% at 1000:1 distractor:target ratio on the observed sample. MRR drops to 74% because the correct memory is sometimes not rank-1 but always rank ≤ 5 in what we saw. Earlier v0.18.0 numbers (R@5 23%) were from a test FakeEmbedder — fixed in v0.18.1.
What this benchmark does NOT prove: end-to-end answer correctness, long-horizon multi-session reasoning, or superiority over commercial cloud systems (Mem0, Zep) on their own benchmarks. Those comparisons need their numbers on the same distractor split, which hasn't been published.
AI agents forget everything between sessions. Existing solutions either store flat key-value pairs (useless for real knowledge) or require cloud infrastructure and API keys.
neuromcp gives you two layers of memory:
Inspired by Karpathy's LLM Wiki, Mastra's Observational Memory, and Zep's temporal knowledge graphs — but simpler than all of them. No vector DB, no embeddings pipeline, no cloud. Just Markdown files + Git + hooks.

Every ~4h the launchd agent runs run-consolidation.sh, which orchestrates four steps end-to-end:
related: frontmatter. Makes the wiki act like a graph without a separate graph database.index.md and per-category -index.md files. Categories over 10 pages are auto-split so the session-start router stays compact as the wiki scales.The pipeline is idempotent — safe to re-run at any time.

npx neuromcp-init
Detects your installed MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf), writes the neuromcp entry into each config (with a backup of the original), initializes the wiki + hooks, and checks whether Ollama is available. --dry-run previews everything without writing.
For GUI clients (Claude Desktop, Codex Desktop) install permanently first: npm install -g neuromcp && neuromcp-init. Only a permanent install lets init write the absolute node + script paths those clients need — from the bare-npx cache (garbage-collected) it deliberately falls back to a PATH-dependent npx entry, which GUI clients usually cannot resolve.
1. Start the MCP server
npx neuromcp
2. Initialize the wiki + hooks (required for closed-loop attribution)
npx neuromcp-init-wiki
This creates the wiki structure, installs hooks (Claude Code) and rules (other editors), and configures everything automatically. Without this step, npx neuromcp still runs as a plain MCP server with 46 tools, but the critic hook that closes the attribution loop is not installed — retrieval works but usefulness scores never accumulate. Safe to run multiple times — won't overwrite existing config.
neuromcp works with any MCP-compatible editor. Two tiers of integration:
| Feature | Claude Code | Cursor / Windsurf / Cline / Copilot / JetBrains / Zed |
|---|---|---|
| MCP tools (46) | Full | Full |
| Context at session start | Hooks (automatic) | Rules (LLM-driven, best-effort) |
| Persist at session end | Hooks (automatic) | Rules (LLM-driven, best-effort) |
| Wiki reminders | Every 8 tool calls | No |
| Crash-resilient checkpoints | Yes | No |
Claude Code gets the full experience via native hooks — context injection and persistence happen automatically, even if the LLM forgets.
Other editors get rules files that instruct the LLM to call neuromcp tools at session start/end. This depends on LLM compliance — it works well in practice but is not guaranteed like hooks.
