Verbative Memory

Verbative Memory

On-device memory system for AI coding agents — a dual-layer engine (distilled facts + a lossless event ledger), automatically captured and injected, exposed over MCP. Shared across agents, persistent across sessions; stored as plain, human-readable files in your repo — no memory cloud, no vendor database.

This repository is the public home for docs, install help, and issues. The engine is closed-source and ships as a sealed, compiled package — there is no source code here.

How it works — capture everything, recall selectively

• Complete capture, in two layers. Underneath sits a lossless ledger: a mechanical, no-model record of every command, edit, and test result, so "what did we run" and "when did this test start failing" are exact, replayable facts. On top, an on-device model distills that stream into atomic, typed memories — decisions, conventions, and dead ends.
• Selective recall — the two layers fused. A single recall surfaces only the handful of distilled facts that matter (ranked by semantic search and a reranker) and interleaves them, by time, with the exact ledger record around them: what you decided next to what you actually did. One answer, not a dump of the whole history.
• Self-organizing. New facts reconcile against old ones, importance decays on per-type forgetting curves, frequently-recalled facts strengthen, and recurring specifics distill into higher-level insights.
• Yours, on-device. Memories live in human-readable files in your project. Recall makes zero cloud calls.

Requirements

• macOS (Apple silicon) or Windows 10/11 (x64). (Linux is on the roadmap.)
• A Verbative account — Memory is part of the Code Advanced plan and starts with a 14-day free trial. See the plans and the Terms.

Install

Claude Code CLI — automatic capture and recall:

claude mcp add verbative-memory -- npx -y verbative-memory

pip:

pip install verbative-memoryverbative-memory login      # sign in with your Verbative account

Any MCP client (mcp.json / stdio):

{ "mcpServers": { "verbative-memory": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "verbative-memory"] } } }

Automatic capture and injection are built for the Claude Code CLI and Codex; any other Model Context Protocol client can call the tools manually. The first run downloads the on-device engine and models once; after that, recall runs fully offline.

Privacy

Capture, embeddings, reranking, and the knowledge graph all run locally. Your code and memories are not uploaded; the memory files stay in your project and leave your machine only if you choose to share them.
