Install from MCP Registry

NEW: MemoGraph is now available in the official MCP Registry! 🎉

Registry URL: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/memograph

Step 1: Install MemoGraph

First, install the Python package:

pip install memograph

Step 2: Configure in Your MCP Client

The MCP Registry provides the configuration template. Add to your client's config file:

For Cline (~/.cline/mcp_settings.json):

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "memograph": {
        "command": "python",
        "args": ["-m", "memograph.mcp.run_server"],
        "env": {
          "MEMOGRAPH_VAULT": "/path/to/your/vault"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

For Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memograph": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "memograph.mcp.run_server"],
      "env": {
        "MEMOGRAPH_VAULT": "/path/to/your/vault"
      }
    }
  }
}

Benefits of MCP Registry Listing:

• ✅ Official registry backed by Anthropic, GitHub, and Microsoft
• ✅ Discoverable by all MCP-compatible clients

Note: The registry uses the PyPI package version. When you pip install memograph, you automatically get the latest registry-listed version.

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.

Using Auto-Save Hooks

MemoGraph provides autonomous hooks to save conversations automatically:

• ⚠️ Important: Hooks are passive tools - see Autonomous Hooks Guide for setup

🎯 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

### Import Documents

Import documents (TXT, PDF, DOCX) and convert them to markdown:

```bash
# Import a single file
memograph --vault ~/my-vault import document.pdf --type episodic

📖 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...
