## 5. PR Template for Awesome Lists
Use this template when submitting to GitHub awesome lists:
```markdown
## Add MemoryGraph to Memory/Knowledge Graph section
### Description
MemoryGraph is a graph-based MCP memory server that provides intelligent,
relationship-aware memory for Claude Code and other MCP clients. Unlike
vector-based memory, it uses graph databases (Neo4j, Memgraph, FalkorDB, or SQLite)
to capture how information connects.
**NEW in v0.11**: Python SDK (`memorygraphsdk`) for LlamaIndex, LangChain, CrewAI, and AutoGen integration!
### Key Features
- **Zero-config installation**: `pip install memorygraphMCP` with SQLite default
- **🆕 Python SDK**: Native integrations for popular AI agent frameworks
- LlamaIndex: `MemoryGraphChatMemory`, `MemoryGraphRetriever`
- LangChain: `MemoryGraphMemory` with session support
- CrewAI: `MemoryGraphCrewMemory` for multi-agent crews
- AutoGen: `MemoryGraphAutoGenHistory`
- **Cloud Backend**: Sync across devices with memorygraph.dev
- **Graph-based storage**: Captures relationships between memories
- **Pattern recognition**: Learns from past solutions and decisions
- **Automatic context extraction**: Extracts structure from natural language
- **Multi-backend support**: SQLite (default), Neo4j, Memgraph, FalkorDB, Cloud
- **Docker deployment**: One-command setup for all modes
- **Comprehensive testing**: 1,200+ passing tests
### Why This Server?
This server uses graph relationships to understand *how* information connects,
enabling queries like:
- "What solutions worked for similar problems?"
- "What decisions led to this outcome?"
- "What patterns exist across my projects?"
Perfect for developers using Claude Code who want persistent, intelligent memory
that learns from context and understands relationships.

## Notes
- This workplan focuses on **developer reach**, not paid marketing
- Timing matters: Tuesday-Thursday mornings are best for developer content
- Quality > Quantity: Better to have 2 great posts than 5 mediocre ones
- Be genuine: Engage with feedback, don't just broadcast
- Iterate: Update messaging based on what resonates
