Mengram
Human-like memory layer for AI agents with semantic, episodic, and procedural memory types, cognitive profiling, knowledge graph, and 12 MCP tools.
pip install mengram-ai # or: npm install mengram-ai
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.episodes(query="deployment") # → events
m.procedures(query="deploy") # → workflows that evolve from failures
Claude Code — Zero-Config Memory
Two commands. Claude Code remembers everything across sessions automatically.
pip install mengram-ai
mengram setup # Sign up + install hooks (interactive)
Or manually: export MENGRAM_API_KEY=om-... → mengram hook install
What happens:
Session Start → Loads your cognitive profile (who you are, preferences, tech stack)
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.
mengram hook status # check what's installed
mengram hook uninstall # remove all hooks
Why Mengram?
Every AI memory tool stores facts. Mengram stores 3 types of memory — and procedures evolve when they fail.
| Mengram | claude-mem | Mem0 | Zep | Letta | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semantic memory (facts, preferences) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Episodic memory (events, decisions) | Yes | Partial | No | No | Partial |
| Procedural memory (workflows) | Yes | No | No | No | No |
| Procedures evolve from failures | Yes | No | No | No | No |
| Cognitive Profile | Yes | No | No | No | No |
| Multi-user isolation | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | No |
| Knowledge graph | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Claude Code hooks (auto-save/recall) | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
| LangChain + CrewAI + MCP | Yes | No | Partial | Partial | Partial |
| Import ChatGPT / Obsidian | Yes | No | No | No | No |
| Pricing | Free tier | Free / OSS | $19-249/mo | Enterprise | Self-host |
Get Started in 30 Seconds
1. Install
pip install mengram-ai
2. Setup (creates account + installs Claude Code hooks)
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: [...]}
File Upload (PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD)
# 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 "[email protected]" \
-F "user_id=default"
JavaScript / TypeScript
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: [...] }
REST API (curl)
# Add memory
curl -X POST https://mengram.io/v1/add \
-H "Authorization: Bearer om-..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "I prefer dark mode and vim keybindings"}]}'
# Search all 3 types
curl -X POST https://mengram.io/v1/search/all \
-H "Authorization: Bearer om-..." \
-d '{"query": "user preferences"}'
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
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
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 |
