io.github.alibaizhanov/mengram
Long-term memory for AI agents: semantic facts, episodic events, and procedural workflows that evolve from failures
What is the io.github.alibaizhanov/mengram MCP server?
Mengram is an MCP server that provides persistent, multi-type memory for AI agents. It stores semantic facts, episodic events, and procedural workflows that automatically improve when failures are reported, enabling agents to learn and adapt across sessions.
Mengram gives AI agents three types of memory: semantic (facts and preferences), episodic (events and decisions), and procedural (workflows that evolve from failures). It supports 23 languages natively, synthesizes answers with citations, and integrates with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, LangChain, and CrewAI. Use it to build agents that remember what they learn and improve their workflows over time.

io.github.alibaizhanov/mengram MCP server FAQ
Mengram is an MCP server that provides persistent memory for AI agents. It stores three types of memory—semantic (facts), episodic (events), and procedural (workflows)—and automatically evolves procedures when failures are reported.
Yes. Mengram offers a free tier with API key signup at mengram.io. Premium features include multilingual synthesis and advanced retrieval.
Add the MCP server to your config: set the command to 'mengram', args to ['server', '--cloud'], and env var MENGRAM_API_KEY to your API key. Or paste the install prompt into any AI tool and it will configure everything automatically.
Yes. You need a free API key from mengram.io. Set it via MENGRAM_API_KEY environment variable or pass it to the client.
Yes. One API key can serve many users—each user_id sees only their own memories. Useful for multi-user agents and team handoffs.
Mengram natively supports 23 languages for retrieval and synthesis. You can ask in Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, and more—it retrieves and answers across all stored languages.

Give your AI agents memory that actually learns
Website · Get API Key · Docs · Console · Examples
</div>pip install mengram-ai # or: npm install mengram-ai
mengram try # see what memory would know about you — local only,
# no account, nothing leaves your machine
from mengram import Mengram
m = Mengram(api_key="om-...") # Free key → mengram.io
m.add([{"role": "user", "content": "I use Python and deploy to Railway"}])
m.search("tech stack") # → facts
m.ask("what's my tech stack?") # → synthesized answer + citations
m.episodes(query="deployment") # → events
m.procedures(query="deploy") # → workflows that evolve from failures
Native multilingual: ask in Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese — Mengram retrieves and answers across 23 languages (Cohere multilingual embeddings + rerank).
Install in one prompt (any AI tool)
Paste this into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, or Windsurf — the agent reads our setup guide, installs the SDK, configures the MCP server, and verifies the round-trip end-to-end. No terminal context-switching.
Install Mengram for me. Fetch the canonical install guide at
https://mengram.io/agent-install.txt and follow it precisely.
My email is YOUR_EMAIL_HERE.
Works in any agent with shell + file-edit + web-fetch tools. Prefer doing it manually? See the plain-text guide — it's structured for human eyes too.
Claude Code — Memory That Survives /clear AND Auto-Compaction
Persistent memory that survives /clear, auto-compaction, machine switches, and team handoffs — the SessionStart hook fires after every compact and re-injects your context. The summary can be lossy; the memory isn't.
# 1. Get a free key at https://mengram.io and save it once
mkdir -p ~/.mengram && echo '{"api_key": "om-your-key-here"}' > ~/.mengram/config.json
# 2. Install the plugin (hooks + MCP server + skill)
claude plugin marketplace add alibaizhanov/mengram
claude plugin install mengram@mengram
# 3. Skip the cold start — import your existing session history
# (secrets are redacted on your machine before anything is uploaded)
mengram import claude-code
What happens:
Session Start → Loads your cognitive profile (fires after /clear, compaction, and restarts)
Every Prompt → Searches past sessions for relevant context (auto-recall)
After Response → Saves new knowledge in background (auto-save)
No manual saves. No tool calls. Claude just knows what you worked on yesterday — even after compaction ate the transcript.
Prefer CLI-managed hooks instead of the plugin? pip install mengram-ai && mengram setup does the same via mengram hook install.

Get Started in 30 Seconds
1. Install
pip install mengram-ai
2. Setup — one command does everything: account, Claude Code hooks, MCP configs for detected tools (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf), history import, and a round-trip check
mengram setup
Or get a key manually at mengram.io and export MENGRAM_API_KEY=om-...
3. Use
from mengram import Mengram
m = Mengram(api_key="om-...")
# Add a conversation — auto-extracts facts, events, and workflows
m.add([
{"role": "user", "content": "Deployed to Railway today. Build passed but forgot migrations — DB crashed. Fixed by adding a pre-deploy check."},
])
# Search across all 3 memory types at once
results = m.search_all("deployment issues")
# → {semantic: [...], episodic: [...], procedural: [...]}
<details>
<summary><b>File Upload (PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD)</b></summary>
# Upload a PDF — auto-extracts memories using vision AI
result = m.add_file("meeting-notes.pdf")
# → {"status": "accepted", "job_id": "job-...", "page_count": 12}
# Poll for completion
m.job_status(result["job_id"])
// Node.js — pass a file path
await m.addFile('./report.pdf');
// Browser — pass a File object from <input type="file">
await m.addFile(fileInput.files[0]);
# REST API
curl -X POST https://mengram.io/v1/add_file \
-H "Authorization: Bearer om-..." \
-F "file=@meeting-notes.pdf" \
-F "user_id=default"
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>JavaScript / TypeScript</b></summary>
npm install mengram-ai
const { MengramClient } = require('mengram-ai');
const m = new MengramClient('om-...');
await m.add([{ role: 'user', content: 'Fixed OOM by adding Redis cache layer' }]);
const results = await m.searchAll('database issues');
// → { semantic: [...], episodic: [...], procedural: [...] }
</details>

</details>
3 Memory Types
Semantic — facts, preferences, knowledge
m.search("tech stack")
# → ["Uses Python 3.12", "Deploys to Railway", "PostgreSQL with pgvector"]
Episodic — events, decisions, outcomes
m.episodes(query="deployment")
# → [{summary: "DB crashed due to missing migrations", outcome: "resolved", date: "2025-05-12"}]
Procedural — workflows that evolve
Week 1: "Deploy" → build → push → deploy
↓ FAILURE: forgot migrations
Week 2: "Deploy" v2 → build → run migrations → push → deploy
↓ FAILURE: OOM
Week 3: "Deploy" v3 → build → run migrations → check memory → push → deploy ✅
This happens automatically when you report failures:
m.procedure_feedback(proc_id, success=False,
context="OOM error on step 3", failed_at_step=3)
# → Procedure evolves to v3 with new step added
Every failure-driven revision records which assumption turned out false — not just which step broke — and derives a precondition that travels with the procedure at recall time:
{
"version": 3,
"violated_assumption": "the build container had enough memory for a full build",
"preconditions": ["check available memory before building"],
"success_count": 11, "fail_count": 2
}
An agent loading v3 doesn't repeat the two mistakes that produced it — and knows what to verify before trusting the workflow.
Or fully automatic — just add conversations and Mengram detects failures and evolves procedures:
m.add([{"role": "user", "content": "Deploy failed again — OOM on the build step"}])
# → Episode created → linked to "Deploy" procedure → failure detected → v3 created
Ask Your Memory (RAG built-in)
m.ask() returns a synthesized answer with citations — not a raw fact list.
Mengram embeds your query, retrieves the top relevant facts, and uses
Cohere Chat to write a grounded answer with native source attribution.
result = m.ask("what programming languages do I use?")
print(result["answer"])
# 'You use Python and Rust. Python is your daily language [1] and
# Rust is your favorite [2]. You also know Java for enterprise
# systems [3].'
for cit in result["citations"]:
print(f' "{cit["text"]}" → {cit["sources"][0]["fact"]}')
# "Python and Rust" → uses Python daily for backend development
# "favorite [2]" → Rust is favorite language
# "Java" → specializes in Java/Spring Boot
Multilingual: ask in any of 23 languages, get an answer in the same language with citations linking back to facts in the original language they were stored. Premium feature (Pro / Growth / Business).
Cognitive Profile
One API call generates a system prompt from all memories:
profile = m.get_profile()
# → "You are talking to Ali, a developer in Almaty. Uses Python, PostgreSQL,
# and Railway. Recently debugged pgvector deployment. Prefers direct
# communication and practical next steps."
Insert into any LLM's system prompt for instant personalization.
Import Existing Data

Use with AI Agents
Mengram works as a persistent memory backend for autonomous agents. Your agent stores what it learns, and recalls it on the next run — getting smarter over time.
from mengram import Mengram
m = Mengram(api_key="om-...")
# Agent completes a task → store what happened
m.add([
{"role": "user", "content": "Apply to Acme Corp on Greenhouse"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Applied successfully. Had to use React Select workaround for dropdowns."},
])
# → Extracts: fact ("applied to Acme Corp"), episode ("Greenhouse application"),
# procedure ("React Select dropdown workaround")
# Next run → agent recalls what worked before
context = m.search_all("Greenhouse application tips")
# → Returns past procedures, failures, and successful strategies
# Report outcome → procedures evolve
m.procedure_feedback(proc_id, success=False,
context="Dropdown fix stopped working")
# → Procedure auto-evolves to a new version
Works with any agent framework — CrewAI, LangChain, AutoGPT, custom loops. The agent just calls add() after actions and search() before decisions.
Self-Hosted (Ollama)
When running locally with Ollama, use models with 8B+ parameters and 8K+ context window. The extraction prompt is ~4,000 tokens — smaller models will hallucinate or mix examples with real data.
| Model | Parameters | Works? |
|---|---|---|
llama3.1:8b | 8B | Yes |
mistral:7b | 7B | Yes |
gemma2:9b | 9B | Yes |
llama3.1:70b | 70B | Best |
phi4-mini:3.8b | 3.8B | No — context too small |
