Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when an agent or robot needs persistent local context, especially when memory storage and retrieval should not depend on LLM API calls. Choose the documented MCP or HTTP route for chat agents; the project also names Zenoh and ROS 2 for robotics.
Who it is for
- AI agent developers who need context to persist between sessions.
- Robotics developers exploring persistent context between missions.
- Teams seeking local memory storage and retrieval without LLM calls for memory operations.
Documented uses
- Connect an agent to memory it can use across sessions.
- Capture chat-agent session context through the documented Claude Code hooks.
- Retrieve related memories and construct knowledge-graph relationships locally.
- Explore carrying persistent context between robot missions through the named robotics integrations.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and licensed under Apache-2.0. The README documents a single-binary setup and a Docker option; it does not establish specific operating-system compatibility.
- Memory storage and recall are described as LLM-free, using local algorithms and models.
- The project describes usage-based memory strengthening and decay of irrelevant context.
- The documented agent interfaces are MCP and HTTP; robotics integrations named are Zenoh and ROS 2.
- The README provides both a single-binary setup and a Docker route for production or shared servers.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Connect Claude Code to Shodh Memory through MCP
Add the Shodh Memory MCP server to Claude Code, with optional automatic context capture.
Before you start
- Claude Code
- The documented
@shodh/memory-mcppackage and its required runtime
Steps
Run
claude mcp add shodh-memory -- npx -y @shodh/memory-mcpto add the MCP server.Optionally run the command below to install Claude Code hooks for automatic session-context capture.
npx @shodh/memory-mcp setup-hooks
Expected outcome
Claude Code can use Shodh Memory tools; the optional hooks capture context from sessions automatically.
Guide limitations
- The setup instructions do not establish compatibility with other agent clients.
- Automatic capture is an optional additional setup step.
