memg-core
The foundation of structured memory for AI agents.
memg-core is the deterministic, schema-driven memory engine at the heart of the larger MEMG system. It gives AI developers a fast, reliable, testable memory layer powered by:
- YAML-based schema definition (for custom memory types)
- Dual-store backend (Qdrant for vectors, Kuzu for graph queries)
- Public Python API for all memory operations
- Built-in support for auditability, structured workflows, and self-managed memory loops
It's designed for AI agents that build, debug, and improve themselves — and for humans who demand clean, explainable, memory-driven systems.
🧩 This is just the core. The full memg system builds on this to add multi-agent coordination, long-term memory policies, and deeper retrieval pipelines — currently in progress.
Features
- Vector Search: Fast semantic search with Qdrant
- Graph Storage: Optional relationship analysis with Kuzu
- Offline-First: 100% local embeddings with FastEmbed - no API keys needed
- Type-Agnostic: Configurable memory types via YAML schemas
- See Also Discovery: Knowledge graph-style associative memory retrieval
- Lightweight: Minimal dependencies, optimized for performance
Quick Start
Installation
pip install memg-core
Basic Usage
from memg_core.api.public import add_memory, search, delete_memory
# Add a note
note_hrid = add_memory(
memory_type="note",
payload={
"statement": "Set up Postgres with Docker for local development",
"project": "backend-setup"
},
user_id="demo_user"
)
print(f"Created note: {note_hrid}") # Returns HRID like "NOTE_AAA001"
# Search for memories
results = search(
query="postgres docker setup",
user_id="demo_user",
limit=5
)
for r in results:
print(f"[{r.memory.memory_type}] {r.memory.hrid}: {r.memory.payload['statement']} - Score: {r.score:.2f}")
Architecture
memg-core provides a deterministic, YAML-driven memory layer with dual storage:
- YAML-driven schema engine - Define custom memory types with zero hardcoded fields
- Qdrant/Kuzu dual-store - Vector similarity + graph relationships
- Public Python API - Clean interface for all memory operations
- Configurable schemas - Examples in
config/
for different use cases
In Scope
- ✅ YAML schema definition and validation
- ✅ Memory CRUD operations with dual storage
