Long-term, multimodal memory for AI agents with character-aware profiles and mem0-compatible API
What is the io.github.TeleAI-UAGI/telemem MCP server?
TeleMem is an agent memory management layer that provides long-term and multimodal memory capabilities for conversational AI. It serves as a high-performance drop-in replacement for Mem0 with character-aware memory profiles, video understanding, and fully-local options using Qwen + FAISS.
TeleMem enables AI agents to maintain stable, natural character memories across long conversations through context-aware summarization, semantic clustering, and efficient retrieval. It uniquely isolates per-character memory profiles, processes video content end-to-end (frames → captions → vector DB), and runs fully locally without cloud dependencies. With 86% accuracy on multi-character dialogue benchmarks (19% above Mem0) and 2-3× faster writes, it's designed for role-play, companion AI, NPCs, and complex narrative scenarios.

io.github.TeleAI-UAGI/telemem MCP server FAQ
TeleMem is a memory management layer for AI agents that improves upon Mem0 with character-aware memory profiles (automatically isolates memories per character), LLM-based semantic clustering for deduplication, batch-flush writes (2-3× faster), and multimodal video processing. It achieves 86% accuracy on benchmarks vs 70% for Mem0.
Yes. TeleMem implements the same `add()` and `search()` API with identical result shapes. You can replace `import mem0` with `import telemem as mem0` and existing code continues to work.
Yes, TeleMem is open-source (Apache 2.0) and fully-local by default. It runs end-to-end on your hardware using Qwen + FAISS with no cloud service, no paid tier, and no data leaving your machine. You can also use cloud LLM providers like OpenAI if preferred.
Install via PyPI: `pip install telemem` for core text memory, `pip install "telemem[mcp]"` for MCP server support, or `pip install "telemem[all]"` for everything. For MCP, run `uvx telemem` to start the memory server with zero install.
TeleMem is fully-local by default and requires no API keys. If using cloud LLM providers (OpenAI, DeepSeek, MiniMax), set their respective API keys. For fully-local operation, use Ollama with local models like `qwen3:8b`.
TeleMem processes video content through an automated pipeline: frame extraction → caption generation → vector database construction. It supports ReAct-style multi-step video question answering for reasoning over video memories.

| Storage format | SQLite / vector DB | ✅ FAISS + JSON metadata dual-write: fast retrieval + human-readable |
| Multimodal Capability | Single image to text only | ✅ Video Multimodal Memory: Full video processing pipeline + ReAct multi-step reasoning QA |
Experimental Results
Dataset
We evaluate the ZH-4O Chinese long-character dialogue dataset constructed in the paper MOOM: Maintenance, Organization and Optimization of Memory in Ultra-Long Role-Playing Dialogues:
- Average dialogue length: 600 turns per conversation
- Scenarios: daily interactions, plot progression, evolving character relationships
Memory capability was assessed via QA benchmarks, e.g.:
{
"question": "What is Zhao Qi's nickname for Bai Yulan? A Xiaobai B Xiaoyu C Lanlan D Yuyu",
"answer": "A"
},
{
"question": "What is the relationship between Zhao Qi and Bai Yulan? A Classmates B Teacher and student C Enemies D Neighbors",
"answer": "B"

Quick Start
Installation
pip install telemem # core (text memory)
pip install "telemem[mcp]" # + MCP server
pip install "telemem[video]" # + video/multimodal pipeline
pip install "telemem[all]" # everything
Development Environment
Using uv (recommended — creates .venv from the committed uv.lock for a reproducible environment):
uv sync --all-extras # install TeleMem (editable) + all extras, incl. MCP
uv run python examples/quickstart.py
Or with conda + pip:
# Create and activate virtual environment
conda create -n telemem python=3.10
conda activate telemem
# Install from source (editable), with the extras you need
pip install -e ".[all]"
Example
Set your OpenAI API key:
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key"
# python examples/quickstart.py
import telemem as mem0
memory = mem0.Memory()
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Jordan, did you take the subway to work again today?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, James. The subway is much faster than driving. I leave at 7 o'clock and it's just not crowded."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Jordan, I want to try taking the subway too. Can you tell me which station is closest?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Of course, James. You take Line 2 to Civic Center Station, exit from Exit A, and walk 5 minutes to the company."}
]
memory.add(messages=messages, user_id="Jordan")
results = memory.search("What transportation did Jordan use to go to work today?", user_id="Jordan")
for hit in results["results"]: # same result shape as mem0
print(hit["memory"])
Memory() uses the default provider settings inherited from mem0ai. To use the repository's local Qwen + FAISS configuration, load config/config.yaml explicitly:
from telemem.utils import load_config
import telemem as mem0
config = load_config("config/config.yaml")
memory = mem0.Memory(config=config)
The runnable examples also honor the same configuration through TELEMEM_CONFIG:
TELEMEM_CONFIG=config/config.yaml python examples/quickstart.py
Using MiniMax as the LLM Provider
TeleMem supports MiniMax as an LLM backend via its OpenAI-compatible API.
A ready-to-use example config is provided at config/config.minimax.yaml.
export MINIMAX_API_KEY="your-minimax-api-key"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key" # still needed for embeddings
from telemem.utils import load_config
import telemem as mem0
config = load_config("config/config.minimax.yaml")
memory = mem0.Memory(config=config)
Key points for MiniMax usage:
- LLM: MiniMax M3 (512K context, default) via
https://api.minimax.io/v1; MiniMax M2.7 / M2.7-highspeed (204K context) remain available as alternatives - Temperature: must be in (0.0, 1.0] — set explicitly (e.g.
0.7) to avoid out-of-range errors - Embeddings: MiniMax does not provide a public embedding API; configure a separate embedder (e.g.
text-embedding-3-small) in theembeddersection
More LLM Providers
TeleMem works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Ready-to-use config examples ship in config/:
| Provider | Config file | LLM | Embeddings | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ollama (fully local) | config.ollama.yaml | any local model (e.g. qwen3:8b) | nomic-embed-text, local | No API key, no cloud — everything runs on your machine |
| DeepSeek | config.deepseek.yaml | deepseek-chat / deepseek-reasoner | external (e.g. OpenAI) | export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=... |
| Moonshot (Kimi) | config.moonshot.yaml | kimi-k2-0905-preview | external (e.g. OpenAI) | .cn and .ai endpoints supported |
| MiniMax | config.minimax.yaml | MiniMax-M3 | external (e.g. OpenAI) | see section above |
TELEMEM_CONFIG=config/config.ollama.yaml python examples/quickstart.py # 100% local memory

Core Functions
Add Memory (add)
The add() method injects one or more dialogue turns into the memory system.
def add(
self,
messages,
*,
user_id: Optional[str] = None,
agent_id: Optional[str] = None,
run_id: Optional[str] = None,
metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
infer: bool = True,
memory_type: Optional[str] = None,
prompt: Optional[str] = None,
batch: bool = False,
)
🔎 Parameter Description
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
messages | str or List[Dict[str, str]] | ✅ Yes | A single statement, or a list of dialogue messages with role (user/assistant) and content |
user_id | Optional[str] | ❌ No | Character/user to attribute the memory to; TeleMem keeps an independent memory profile per user_id. Omit it to store shared conversation-event memories |
agent_id / run_id | Optional[str] | ❌ No | Additional mem0-compatible scopes (e.g. one run_id per session) |
metadata | Optional[Dict[str, Any]] | ❌ No | Arbitrary metadata stored with each memory |
infer | bool | ❌ No | Whether to auto-generate memory summaries (default: True) |
memory_type | Optional[str] | ❌ No | Memory category (auto-classified if omitted) |
prompt | Optional[str] | ❌ No | Custom prompt for summarization (uses optimized default if omitted) |
batch | bool | ❌ No | Route through the high-throughput batched pipeline (add_batch) |
Returns the mem0-compatible shape: {"results": [{"id": "...", "memory": "...", "event": "ADD"}, ...]}
🔁 Internal Workflow of add()
- Message preprocessing: Merge consecutive messages from the same speaker; normalize turn structure.
- Multi-perspective summarization:
- Global event summary
- Character 1’s perspective (actions, preferences, relationships)
- Character 2’s perspective
- Vectorization & similarity search: Generate embeddings and retrieve existing similar memories.
- Batch processing: When buffer threshold is reached, invoke LLM to semantically merge similar memories.
- Persistence: Dual-write to FAISS (for retrieval) and JSON (for metadata).
Search Memory (search)
Performs semantic vector-based retrieval of relevant memories with context-aware recall.
def search(
self,
query: str,
*,
user_id: Optional[str] = None,
agent_id: Optional[str] = None,
run_id: Optional[str] = None,
limit: int = 100,
filters: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
threshold: Optional[float] = None,
rerank: bool = True,
)
🔎 Parameter Description
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | str | ✅ Yes | Natural language query |
user_id | Optional[str] | ❌ No | Character/user profile to search. The shared event memories (pseudo-user "events") are always searched as well |
agent_id / run_id | Optional[str] | ❌ No | Additional mem0-compatible scope filters |
limit | int | ❌ No | Max number of results (default: 100) |
threshold | Optional[float] | ❌ No | Similarity threshold (0–1; auto-tuned if omitted) |
filters | Dict[str, Any] | ❌ No | Custom filters (e.g., by character, time range) |
rerank | bool | ❌ No | Whether to rerank results (default: True) |
Returns the mem0-compatible shape: {"results": [{"id": "...", "memory": "...", "score": ..., ...}, ...]}
🔍 Search is based on FAISS vector retrieval, supporting millisecond-level responses.
Multimodal Extensions
Beyond text memory, TeleMem further extends multimodal capabilities. Drawing inspiration from Deep Video Discovery's Agentic Search and Tool Use approach, we implemented two core methods in the TeleMemory class to support intelligent storage and semantic retrieval of video content.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
add_mm() | Process video into retrievable memory (frame extraction → caption generation → vector database) |
search_mm() | Query video content using natural language, supporting ReAct-style multi-step reasoning |
Add Multimodal Memory (add_mm)
def add_mm(
self,
video_path: str,
output_dir: str,
clip_secs: int | None = None,
emb_dim: int | None = None,
subtitle_path: str | None = None,
)
🔎 Parameter Description
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| video_path | str | ✅ Yes | Source video file path, e.g., "video/3EQLFHRHpag.mp4" |
| output_dir | str | ✅ Yes | Root output directory. Artifacts are written under frames/, captions/, and vdb/ subdirectories |
| clip_secs | int | ❌ No | Reserved parameter; clip length is currently read from config.vlm["CLIP_SECS"] |
| emb_dim | int | ❌ No | Embedding dimension, reads from config by default |
| subtitle_path | str | ❌ No | Subtitle file path (.srt), optional |
🔁 add_mm() Internal Flow
- Frame Extraction:
decode_video_to_frames- Decodes video to JPEG frames at configured FPS - Caption Generation:
process_video- Uses VLM (e.g., Qwen3-Omni) to generate detailed descriptions for each clip - Vector Database Construction:
init_single_video_db- Generates embeddings for semantic retrieval
💡 Smart Caching: If the target file for a stage already exists, that stage is automatically skipped to save computational resources.
Return Value Example
{
"output_dir": "/abs/path/to/output_dir"
}
Search Multimodal Memory (search_mm)
def search_mm(
self,
question: str,
output_dir: str,
max_iterations: int = 15,
)
🔎 Parameter Description
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| question | str | ✅ Yes | Question string (supports A/B/C/D multiple choice format) |
| output_dir | str | ✅ Yes | The same root output directory used by add_mm; it must contain exactly one captions/*/captions.json and one vdb/*/*_vdb.json |
| max_iterations | int | ❌ No | Maximum MMCoreAgent reasoning iterations (default 15) |
🛠️ ReAct-Style Reasoning Tools
search_mm internally uses MMCoreAgent, employing a THINK → ACTION → OBSERVATION loop with three specialized tools:
| Tool Name | Function |
|---|---|
global_browse_tool | Get global overview of video events and themes |
clip_search_tool | Search for specific content using semantic queries |
frame_inspect_tool | Inspect frame details within a specific time range |
Multimodal Example
Run the multimodal demo:
python examples/quickstart_mm.py
On the first run, frames, captions and VDB JSON will be generated under the chosen output_dir. The repository ships a small sample video; generating captions and the video database still requires configured VLM and embedding services unless you already have these artifacts locally.
Complete code example:
import telemem as mem0
from pathlib import Path
from telemem.mm_utils.core import extract_choice_from_msg
# Initialize
memory = mem0.Memory()
# Define paths
repo_root = Path(__file__).resolve().parents[1]
video_path = repo_root / "data" / "samples" / "video" / "3EQLFHRHpag.mp4"
video_name = video_path.stem
output_dir = video_path.parent
# Step 1: Add video to memory (auto-processing)
vdb_json_path = output_dir / "vdb" / video_name / f"{video_name}_vdb.json"
if not vdb_json_path.exists():
result = memory.add_mm(
video_path=str(video_path),
output_dir=str(output_dir),
)
print(f"Video processing complete: {result}")
else:
print(f"VDB already exists: {vdb_json_path}")
# Step 2: Query video content
question = """The problems people encounter in the video are caused by what?
(A) Catastrophic weather.
(B) Global warming.
(C) Financial crisis.
(D) Oil crisis.
"""
messages = memory.search_mm(
question=question,
output_dir=str(output_dir),
max_iterations=15,
)
# Extract final answer
answer = extract_choice_from_msg(messages)
print(f"Answer: ({answer})")
MCP Server
TeleMem ships a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, custom agents — can use TeleMem as its long-term memory.
pip install telemem
telemem-mcp # stdio (default)
telemem-mcp --transport sse --port 8421 # SSE over HTTP
TELEMEM_CONFIG=config/config.yaml telemem-mcp # custom TeleMem config
uvx telemem # zero-install run (stdio)
The server exposes eight tools: add_memory, search_memories, get_memories, get_memory, update_memory, delete_memory, delete_all_memories, and memory_history. Calls without an explicit scope default to TELEMEM_DEFAULT_USER_ID (telemem-mcp); destructive bulk deletion always requires an explicit scope.
Claude Desktop / Cursor configuration (examples/mcp_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"telemem": {
"command": "telemem-mcp",
"env": {
"TELEMEM_CONFIG": "/absolute/path/to/config/config.yaml",
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-..."
}
}
}
}
Or drive it programmatically over stdio — the quickstart flow as MCP tool calls:
python examples/mcp_client.py
See docs/MCP.md for the full tool reference, transports, and client setup.
Framework Integrations
TeleMem drops into any agent framework with the same two calls — search() before answering, add() after each exchange:
| Framework | Example | Install |
|---|---|---|
| LangChain | examples/langchain_memory.py | pip install langchain-core langchain-openai |
| LlamaIndex | examples/llamaindex_memory.py | pip install llama-index-llms-openai |
| Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client | MCP Server | pip install "telemem[mcp]" |
Because TeleMem is mem0 API-compatible, any framework adapter written for Mem0's OSS client also works — point it at telemem.Memory instead.
Data Storage
Text Memory Storage
TeleMem automatically creates a structured storage layout under ./faiss_db/, organized by session and character:
faiss_db/
├── session_001_events.index
├── session_001_events_meta.json
├── session_001_person_1.index
├── session_001_person_1_meta.json
├── session_001_person_2.index
└── session_001_person_2_meta.json
📄 Metadata Example (_meta.json)
{
"summary": "Characters discussed the upcoming action plan.",
"sample_id": "session_001",
"round_index": 3,
"timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"user": "Jordan" // Only present in person_*.json
}
All memories include summary, round number, timestamp, and character, facilitating auditing and debugging.
Multimodal Memory Storage
TeleMem generates video-related storage files in the .data/samples/video/ directory:
video/
