mengram-ai

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.ask("what's my tech stack?")          # → synthesized answer + citations
m.episodes(query="deployment")          # → events
m.procedures(query="deploy")            # → workflows that evolve from failures

Native multilingual: ask in Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese — Mengram retrieves and answers across 23 languages (Cohere multilingual embeddings + rerank).

Install in one prompt (any AI tool)

Paste this into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, or Windsurf — the agent reads our setup guide, installs the SDK, configures the MCP server, and verifies the round-trip end-to-end. No terminal context-switching.

Install Mengram for me. Fetch the canonical install guide at
https://mengram.io/agent-install.txt and follow it precisely.
My email is YOUR_EMAIL_HERE.

Works in any agent with shell + file-edit + web-fetch tools. Prefer doing it manually? See the plain-text guide — it's structured for human eyes too.

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

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: [...]}

<b>File Upload (PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD)</b>

# 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"

<b>JavaScript / TypeScript</b>

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: [...] }

<b>REST API (curl)</b>

# 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

Ask Your Memory (RAG built-in)

m.ask() returns a synthesized answer with citations — not a raw fact list. Mengram embeds your query, retrieves the top relevant facts, and uses Cohere Chat to write a grounded answer with native source attribution.

result = m.ask("what programming languages do I use?")

print(result["answer"])
# 'You use Python and Rust. Python is your daily language [1] and
#  Rust is your favorite [2]. You also know Java for enterprise
#  systems [3].'

for cit in result["citations"]:
    print(f'  "{cit["text"]}" → {cit["sources"][0]["fact"]}')
# "Python and Rust" → uses Python daily for backend development
# "favorite [2]"   → Rust is favorite language
# "Java"           → specializes in Java/Spring Boot

Multilingual: ask in any of 23 languages, get an answer in the same language with citations linking back to facts in the original language they were stored. Premium feature (Pro / Growth / Business).

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.

Multi-User Isolation

One API key, many users — each sees only their own data:

m.add([...], user_id="alice")
m.add([...], user_id="bob")

m.search_all("preferences", user_id="alice")  # Only Alice's memories
m.get_profile(user_id="alice")                 # Alice's cognitive profile

Async Client

Non-blocking Python client built on httpx:

from mengram import AsyncMengram

async with AsyncMengram() as m:
    await m.add([{"role": "user", "content": "I use async/await"}])
    results = await m.search("async")
    profile = await m.get_profile()

Install with pip install mengram-ai[async].

Metadata Filters

Filter search results by metadata:

results = m.search("config", filters={"agent_id": "support-bot", "app_id": "prod"})

Webhooks

Get notified when memories change:

m.create_webhook(
    url="https://your-app.com/hook",
    event_types=["memory_add", "memory_update"],
)

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
