RememberMe - CLI + MCP Server

A dual-mode tool providing long-term memory management for Claude Code and other MCP clients. Features both a CLI interface for direct commands and an MCP server for programmatic access.

Built on Qdrant vector database with semantic search and user/session isolation.

Table of Contents

Features

  • Dual-Mode: CLI commands + MCP server integration

  • Semantic Search - Natural language queries using vector similarity

  • Multi-User Support - User memory isolation via userId

  • Session Tracking - Associate memories with specific agent sessions via runId

  • Content Deduplication - MD5 hash to detect duplicate memories

  • Auto-Vectorization - OpenAI-compatible embedding service integration

Quick Start

# Install
pip install -e .

# CLI usage
rememberme add "User prefers dark mode"
rememberme search "preferences" --limit 5
rememberme status

# MCP mode (for Claude Code)
python -m rememberme

Installation

This guide walks you through setting up RememberMe from downloading the repository to your first command.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+

  • Qdrant (vector database) - Install via Docker

  • Embedding API (OpenAI-compatible) - e.g., Doubao, OpenAI, LocalAI

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/JoeXie/remember-me.git
cd remember-me

Or download and extract the archive from GitHub.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

pip install -e .

This installs RememberMe in development mode and creates the rememberme command.

Step 3: Configure Environment

Create the config directory and copy the example env file:

mkdir -p ~/.config/rememberme/
cp .env.example ~/.config/rememberme/.env

Edit ~/.config/rememberme/.env with your settings:

# Required: Your embedding API credentials
EMBEDDING_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/coding/v3

# Required: Embedding model configuration
EMBEDDING_MODEL=doubao-embedding-vision
EMBEDDING_DIMENSIONS=2048

# Optional: Qdrant connection (defaults shown)
QDRANT_HOST=localhost
QDRANT_PORT=6333
QDRANT_COLLECTION_NAME=memories

# Optional: Default user ID
DEFAULT_USER_ID=user_default

Step 4: Start Qdrant

Make sure Qdrant is running:

# Using Docker
docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 qdrant/qdrant

# Or using Podman
podman run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 qdrant/qdrant

Step 5: Verify Installation

Check that everything is connected:

rememberme status

Expected output:

## RememberMe Status

- **Qdrant**: `Connected`
  - Host: `localhost:6333`
  - Collection: `memories`
- **Memories**: `0` stored

Step 6: Try Your First Command

# Add a memory
rememberme add "User prefers dark mode theme"

# Search memories
rememberme search "preferences"

# Get help
rememberme --help

Troubleshooting

Issue

Solution

QdrantOfflineError

Ensure Qdrant is running (docker run -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant)

ValidationError

Check EMBEDDING_API_KEY and OPENAI_BASE_URL in ~/.config/rememberme/.env

Command not found

Re-run pip install -e . to create the rememberme command

Collection error

RememberMe auto-creates the collection on first run

Config not found

Ensure ~/.config/rememberme/.env exists (or will be auto-created)

CLI Commands

# Add a new memory
rememberme add "User prefers dark mode"

# Search memories
rememberme search "user preferences"
rememberme search "project decisions" --limit 10

# Check status
rememberme status

# Delete a memory
rememberme delete <memory_id>

# Delete all memories
rememberme delete-all --force

# JSON output (for programmatic use)
rememberme add "text" --json
rememberme search "query" --json

CLI Options

Option

Description

--user-id

User ID scope (defaults to DEFAULT_USER_ID env var)

--debug

Enable debug logging

MCP Server Integration

Method 1: Using claude code command

# Add MCP server
claude mcp add rememberme -- python -m rememberme

# Or specify working directory
claude mcp add rememberme -- bash -c "cd /path/to/RememberMe && python -m rememberme"

Method 2: Manual configuration (persistent)

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rememberme": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "rememberme"],
      "env": {
        "QDRANT_HOST": "<HOST>",
        "QDRANT_PORT": "<PORT>",
        "EMBEDDING_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>",
        "EMBEDDING_MODEL": "<EMBEDDING_MODEL>",
        "EMBEDDING_DIMENSIONS": "<EMBEDDING_DIMENSIONS>",
        "OPENAI_BASE_URL": "<OPENAI_BASE_URL>",
        "DEFAULT_USER_ID": "<DEFAULT_USER_ID>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available MCP Tools

  • add_memory - Add a memory

  • search_memories - Semantic search

  • get_memory - Get a single memory

  • update_memory - Update a memory

  • delete_memory - Delete a memory

  • delete_all_memories - Clear all memories

OpenClaw Skill Integration

For OpenClaw agents, install the RememberMe skill to enable auto-recall and auto-storage:

# Install skill from local repository
/skill install path/to/RememberMe/skills/using-rememberme-cli --always true

Important: When installing, set always: true to enable automatic pre-execution recall and post-response storage on every conversation.

The skill provides:

  • Auto-Recall: Automatically searches memory before responding based on context

  • Auto-Storage: Evaluates and stores new facts after responding

Configuration

Configuration is loaded from ~/.config/rememberme/.env by default.

If this file doesn't exist, it will be created automatically (the directory will be created if needed).

To set up:

mkdir -p ~/.config/rememberme/
cp .env.example ~/.config/rememberme/.env

Then edit ~/.config/rememberme/.env with your settings.

Note: Environment variables (e.g., when running via MCP with env in ~/.claude/settings.json) take precedence over the .env file.
