About Memory OS AI

Memory OS AI is a local-first memory system for AI agents that turns documents and chat history into searchable semantic memory. It provides MCP access to multi-format ingestion, cross-project linking, and cloud overflow storage.

Key features

  1. 01FAISS-based semantic search
  2. 02Ingest documents, images, and audio
  3. 03Extract and persist chat history
  4. 04Link memory across projects
  5. 05Overflow to cloud storage when local disk is low
  6. 0621 MCP tools and three transports

Use cases

  1. 01Find relevant information in local documents
  2. 02Create a memory briefing for a new session
  3. 03Share memory across project workspaces
  4. 04Back up memory to cloud when disk space is low

MCP support

The MCP server provides 21 tools for memory management, search, chat persistence, project linking, and cloud storage, plus memory:// resources. It supports stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
"mcpServers": {
"romainsantoli-web-memory-os-ai": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"memory-os-ai"
]
}
}
}
Run commanduvx memory-os-ai

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Memory OS AI

Adaptive memory system for AI agents — universal MCP server for Claude Code, Codex CLI, VS Code Copilot, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible client.

Concept

Memory OS AI transforms your local documents (PDF, DOCX, images, audio) into a semantic memory queryable by any AI model through the MCP (Model Context Protocol).

Features

  • 21 MCP tools for memory management, search, chat persistence, project linking, and cloud storage

Cloud Storage (v3.1.0)

When local disk runs low (< 500 MB free by default), memory data automatically overflows to a configured cloud backend.

# Or configure at runtime via MCP tool:
#   memory_cloud_configure(provider="s3", credentials={"bucket": "my-bucket", ...})
#   memory_cloud_status()       → local disk + cloud usage
#   memory_cloud_sync("push")   → backup to cloud
#   memory_cloud_sync("pull")   → restore from cloud
#   memory_cloud_sync("auto")   → offload if disk low

Part of the OpenClaw Ecosystem

Memory OS AI is designed to work alongside the OpenClaw agent infrastructure:

RepoDescription
setup-vs-agent-firmFactory for AI agent firms — 28 SKILL.md, 5 SOUL.md, 15 sectors
mcp-openclaw-extensions115 MCP tools — security audit, A2A bridge, fleet management
Memory OS AI (this repo)Semantic memory + chat persistence — universal MCP bridge

Together they form a complete stack: memory (this repo) → skills & souls (setup-vs-agent-firm) → security & orchestration (mcp-openclaw-extensions).

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
