Roadmap (current = Phase 3 / v2.x)

PhaseVersionStatusHighlights
Phase 1v1.xShippedTyped memory(action="capture") (6 context_types + dedup) -- RRF (k=60) hybrid fusion + cross-encoder rerank + temporal decay -- importance x recency archive policy + restore -- Alembic migrations -- multi-provider LLM dispatch -- plugin trinity (recall-context + memory-commit skills, SessionStart + opt-in PostToolUse hooks)
Phase 2v1.x+1ShippedLLM-driven compression of older memories + Passport sync (encrypted import/export bundle for cross-machine bootstrap) -- AES-256-GCM + Argon2id, S3 / R2 / B2 / MinIO + GDrive backends, delta-sync with LWW per row
Phase 3v2.0.0Shipped (BREAKING)Temporal knowledge graph -- bitemporal valid_from / valid_to columns -- entity resolution via embedding KNN -- entity_search / entity_graph / history actions -- KG-aware passport bundle sections -- KG_AUTO_ENABLED opt-in auto-extract on capture

Features

  • Hybrid retrieval -- FTS5 + sqlite-vec, fused via Reciprocal Rank Fusion (k=60), then re-ranked by a configurable rerank chain (RERANK_MODELS, order = litellm fallback; empty -> local qwen3-reranker) with temporal decay and importance boost
  • Typed capture -- memory(action="capture") with 6 context_types (conversation/fact/preference/skill/task/decision), embedding-based dedup, and a configurable LLM chain (LLM_MODELS, order = litellm fallback)
  • Knowledge graph -- Automatic entity extraction and relation tracking; top results boosted by graph proximity
  • Importance scoring + archive policy -- LLM-scored 0.0-1.0 importance; soft-archive when recency_factor * (1 - importance) > 1.0; restore action available
  • Auto-archive trigger -- Background sweep every Nth capture (default 100) -- no cron required
  • STM-to-LTM consolidation -- LLM summarization of related memories in a category
  • Duplicate detection -- Warns before adding semantically similar memories
  • Zero config -- Built-in local Qwen3 ONNX embedding + reranking, no API keys needed. Optional cloud providers (Jina AI, Gemini, OpenAI, Cohere)
  • Multi-machine sync -- JSONL-based merge sync via Google Drive (bundled Desktop OAuth public client)
  • Plugin trinity -- Ships /recall-context + /memory-commit skills and SessionStart + opt-in PostToolUse hooks (see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md)
  • Proactive memory -- Tool descriptions and skills guide AI to save preferences, decisions, facts at the right moment
  • LLM compression -- Per-turn compression via the multi-provider dispatcher targets ~3x token reduction at >=0.9 fact retention; graceful skip when no provider configured (see docs/compression.md)
  • Encrypted passport sync -- AES-256-GCM bundles + Argon2id KDF, S3 (R2 / B2 / MinIO) and Google Drive backends, delta-sync with last-write-wins per row (see docs/passport.md). Bootstrap via the passport-bootstrap skill.
  • Temporal knowledge graph -- Bitemporal columns (valid_from / valid_to / superseded_by) on every memory + entity-resolution dedup (embedding KNN at default 0.85 cosine threshold) + audit trail (memory_audit table with prev/new state hashes) + new actions (entity_search / entity_graph / history) + opt-in KG_AUTO_ENABLED auto-extract on capture. BREAKING for clients that called memory.get expecting historical-inclusive results: pass as_of for time-travel; default now filters to current-state (valid_to IS NULL).

Status

2026-05-02 -- Architecture stabilization update

Past months saw significant churn around credential handling and the daemon-bridge auto-spawn pattern. This caused multi-process races, browser tab spam, and inconsistent setup UX across plugins. The architecture is now stable: 2 clean modes (stdio + HTTP), no daemon-bridge layer, no auto-spawn from stdio.

Apologies for the instability period. If you encountered issues with prior versions, please update to the latest release and follow the current setup docs -- most prior workarounds are no longer needed.

All plugins share the same architecture -- install once, learn pattern transfers.

Tools

15 MCP tools, 17 memory actions. The memory surface is exposed both as 11 specialized single-purpose tools and a legacy memory dispatcher (same actions), plus config, help, and config__open_relay:

Deploy to Cloudflare

Deploy to Cloudflare

Run your own mnemo instance serverless on Cloudflare (Containers + D1 + Vectorize + KV).

Prerequisites: a Cloudflare account on the Workers Paid plan — required for Containers, D1, and Vectorize (the Cloudflare free tier does not include them) — and the wrangler CLI.

  1. git clone https://github.com/n24q02m/mnemo-mcp && cd mnemo-mcp
  2. wrangler login
  3. Provision the storage bindings mnemo uses -- the memories database, the embedding index, and the encrypted credential store:
    wrangler d1 create mnemo-memories
    wrangler vectorize create mnemo-memory-vectors --dimensions 768 --metric cosine
    wrangler kv namespace create mnemo-kv
    
    Paste the returned D1 database ID and KV namespace ID into wrangler.jsonc (the Vectorize index binds by name, so no ID is needed). The memories schema (tables + FTS5 full-text) is created by the container on first boot -- there is no separate migration step.
  4. Push the container image to your Cloudflare managed registry (CF Containers cannot pull from external registries directly), then set <YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID> in wrangler.jsonc:
    docker pull ghcr.io/n24q02m/mnemo-mcp:beta
    docker tag ghcr.io/n24q02m/mnemo-mcp:beta mnemo-mcp:beta
    wrangler containers push mnemo-mcp:beta   # prints registry.cloudflare.com/<ACCOUNT_ID>/mnemo-mcp:beta
    
  5. Set <YOUR_PUBLIC_URL> (e.g. https://mnemo.example.com) and <YOUR_WORKER_DOMAIN> (e.g. mnemo.example.com) in wrangler.jsonc, then set the secrets:
    wrangler secret put CREDENTIAL_SECRET              # per-user vault key (encrypts the cf-kv credential store)
    wrangler secret put MCP_RELAY_PASSWORD             # shared password gating the browser setup form
    wrangler secret put MCP_DCR_SERVER_SECRET          # required once PUBLIC_URL is set (multi-user, per-JWT-sub)
    wrangler secret put JINA_AI_API_KEY                # EMBEDDING_MODELS + RERANK_MODELS (cloud embed / rerank)
    wrangler secret put GOOGLE_VERTEX_EXPRESS_API_KEY  # LLM_MODELS (graph extraction, importance, consolidation)
    
  6. wrangler deploy and complete setup in the browser relay form at your Worker domain.

Storage maps to Cloudflare via MCP_STORAGE_BACKEND=cf-kv (credentials / tokens, encrypted), DOCS_DB_BACKEND=cf-d1 (the memories database + FTS5 full-text), and Vectorize (embeddings, cosine). Embedding and reranking are forced cloud through the EMBEDDING_MODELS / RERANK_MODELS chains (jina_ai/...) so the container never downloads the local Qwen3 ONNX models, and graph / LLM features run through the LLM_MODELS chain (vertex_express/...).
