MNEMOS (v6.0-rc — release/v6.0-rc branch, v6.0-rc tag) is the memory operating system for
serious agentic work: a packaged FastAPI runtime, four-backend persistence
layer (PostgreSQL + pgvector, Oracle Database 26ai HNSW INMEMORY NEIGHBOR GRAPH,
IBM Db2 12.1.5 (EAP) DiskANN vector, SQLite + sqlite-vec), GRAEAE reasoning bus,
operator-audited compression stack, divergent dream-state pipeline (REPLAY ->
CLUSTER -> CONSOLIDATE -> SYNTHESISE -> EXTRACT), GDPR right-to-be-forgotten
worker, PERSEPHONE archival subsystem, PANTHEON unified LLM facade, KRONOS
recall observability, and CLI-first deployment surface.
MNEMOS is not just a place to put bytes. It is a runtime of named subsystems that manage the full lifecycle of agent memory across providers, agents, and time horizons: write, embed, search, compress, version, reason-over, audit, federate, export, import, and operate.
Release candidate. This README documents the
v6.0-rctag — the canonical release candidate. It adds Oracle Database 26ai and IBM Db2 12.1.5 (Early Access Program) as first-class persistence backends alongside PostgreSQL and SQLite. The most recent published latest published PyPI release is5.0.1(legacy);6.0.0rc1is the source-install candidate from thev6.0-rctag (Postgres + SQLite only). Enterprise backends ship from source against the tag until pip extras are published:git clone -b v6.0-rc https://github.com/ncz-os/mnemos. See docs/INSTALL.md for driver, DSN, and migration steps. Development history continues on thefeat/oracle-portbranch.
Memory and reasoning runtime for AI agents: persistent search, versioned storage, webhook fanout, and a unified LLM routing bus - all behind a single MCP interface.
Paste into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. The agent runs the install; you confirm.
Install MNEMOS on this machine.
Steps:
1. pip install 'mnemos-os[server]==6.0.0rc1' # source-install from v6.0-rc tag until PyPI publish
2. mnemos init # scaffold config + token
3. mnemos serve # start API on :5002
4. mnemos doctor # verify subsystems
5. Set MNEMOS_BASE=http://localhost:5002 and MNEMOS_API_KEY=<token from step 2>
in shell env and any agent config that needs to reach it.
Edge device (SQLite, no Postgres): pip install 'mnemos-os[edge]==6.0.0rc1' instead.
Full install with all subsystems: pip install 'mnemos-os[full]==6.0.0rc1'
Enterprise backends (Oracle Database 26ai, IBM Db2 12.1.5 EAP).
Until the next PyPI release is cut, install from source against the
v6.0-rc tag (or the feat/oracle-port development branch) and add
the matching extras. See
docs/INSTALL.md
for full driver, DSN, and migration steps.
git clone -b feat/oracle-port https://github.com/ncz-os/mnemos
cd mnemos
python -m pip install -e '.[server,oracle]' # or '.[server,db2]' or '.[server,enterprise]'
export MNEMOS_DATABASE_DSN='oracle://user:pass@host:1521/service_name'
# or: MNEMOS_DATABASE_DSN='db2://user:pass@host:50000/dbname'
mnemos install --profile server
mnemos serve --profile server
Add to ~/.claude/mcp_servers.json (Claude Code) or equivalent:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mnemos": {
"command": "mnemos",
"args": ["serve", "mcp-stdio"],
"env": {
"MNEMOS_BASE": "http://<host>:5002",
"MNEMOS_API_KEY": "<token>"
}
}
}
}For HTTP/SSE transport (ChatGPT, remote agents): mnemos serve mcp-http on :5004.
Key MCP tools the agent gets:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_memories |
Semantic + filtered search across the memory store |
create_memory |
Write a new memory with category, tags, and content |
get_memory |
Fetch a memory by ID |
kg_search |
Query the knowledge-graph triple store |
kronos_anomalies |
Surface recall anomalies and memory health signals |
| Integration | What connects | How |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Hooks fire on session-start, prompt-submit, stop - auto-log to MNEMOS | integrations/claude-code/ - copy hooks + set MNEMOS_BASE |
| ZeroClaw | Zeroclaw agent reads/writes memories via MCP | integrations/zeroclaw/ + mnemos serve mcp-stdio in zeroclaw config |
| OpenClaw | OpenClaw gateway routes memory ops through MCP | integrations/openclaw/ + MCP server entry in openclaw.json |
| Hermes | Optional memory skill mounts MNEMOS as a tool provider | integrations/hermes/optional-skills/memory/mnemos/ |
| Webhooks (any) | Push memory.created, memory.updated, memory.deleted, consultation.completed events to any HTTPS endpoint |
POST /api/webhooks/register with {"url": "...", "events": [...]} |
| Cursor / Cline / Continue.dev / Zed / Aider | Any MCP-capable IDE connects via stdio or HTTP transport | See docs/connectors/ |

MNEMOS is a packaged FastAPI service with a single mnemos CLI for installation, serving, MCP transport, and operational checks. Agents connect through MCP stdio, MCP HTTP/SSE, REST, or OpenAI-compatible SDKs, while the runtime routes memory, reasoning, session, webhook, federation, portability, and observability work through the mnemos/ package. Persistence is selected by profile and DSN: SQLite + sqlite-vec for edge and development installs, PostgreSQL + pgvector for server deployments, Oracle Database 26ai (23.26.1-ee, HNSW INMEMORY NEIGHBOR GRAPH, JSON Duality, TDE) for enterprise installs, and IBM Db2 12.1.5 (native VECTOR(768, FLOAT32) + DiskANN vector index; runs through Db2 Oracle Compatibility Mode with cursor-level Oracle→Db2 token translation — a native Db2 dialect port is on the v6.x roadmap, see docs/v6.1-roadmap.md. Db2MemoryRepository.semantic_search emits native Db2 SQL — VECTOR_DISTANCE(..., EUCLIDEAN) + FETCH APPROX FIRST — engaging the DiskANN index on the user-facing query path) for enterprise installs. All four backends implement the same PersistenceBackend ABC (mnemos/persistence/base.py) and share tests/test_persistence_parity.py. GRAEAE handles multi-provider reasoning and model routing; MOIRAI handles operator-audited compression through APOLLO and ARTEMIS.
