CodeAbra/iai-personal-memory-engine

pip install iai-pme then iai-mcp crypto init (creates the encryption key)
Claude Code plugin: /plugin marketplace add CodeAbra/iai-personal-memory-engine then /plugin install iai-memory@iai-pme
One-command bootstrap: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodeAbra/iai-personal-memory-engine/main/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash
Source install: git clone, python3.12 venv + pip install ., cd mcp-wrapper && npm install && npm run build, iai-mcp daemon install, iai-mcp capture-hooks install

Usage

• •Register with Claude Code: claude mcp add iai-pme -- node "$(python -c 'from iai_mcp.cli._capture import _resolve_wrapper_path as w; print(w())')" (or use the plugin)
• •iai-mcp capture-hooks install — wires session-start recall, per-turn recall, and turn/session capture hooks (--target claude|codex|cursor|antigravity|hermes|openclaw|all)
• •iai-mcp doctor runs 27 checks; verify capture via tail ~/.iai-mcp/logs/capture-<date>.log
• •CLI: iai recall / temporal-recall / search / capture / teach (feed a file) / upload / ask / brain (dashboard)

Key features

• ✓15 MCP tools including memory_recall (returns hits AND anti-hits that contradict the cue), memory_temporal_recall, memory_recall_structural, memory_search, memory_capture, memory_contradict, memory_reinforce, memory_consolidate
• ✓Three-tier memory: episodic (verbatim, write-once), semantic (induced summaries), procedural (learned profile knobs), backed by a hyperdimensional substrate
• ✓Ambient capture/recall hooks — you never say "remember this"; session-start injection bounded to ≤3,000 tokens
• ✓AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, key in ~/.iai-mcp/.key; fully local with no telemetry and no network calls beyond the model call your CLI already makes
• ✓Own Rust engine + storage (Hippo), community-detection algorithm (MOSAIC), and Lilli HD substrate; LongMemEval R@5 0.962; dashboard (iai brain) and Tauri desktop app

Best for

Giving a personal AI coding assistant persistent cross-session memory about the user — fully local, private, with no cloud account or API key.

Caveats

• ⚠Requires Python 3.11 or 3.12, Node.js 18+, ~500 MB disk; macOS and Linux fully supported, Windows is in beta (experimental)
• ⚠Intel macOS has no prebuilt wheel and installs from source (needs Rust toolchain)
• ⚠Losing the encryption key at ~/.iai-mcp/.key loses the memories — back it up
• ⚠Nightly consolidation may make one `claude -p` LLM call through your existing Claude subscription (capped at ≤1% of daily quota)
• ⚠MCP transport is a Unix domain socket (no TCP listener)
