agmry

Persistent memory for AI agents — conversation history, key-value context, and semantic search across sessions. As easy as git.

git remembers your code. agmry remembers everything else.

Your agent writes great code all day — then forgets every decision the moment its context window resets. So you become the memory layer: re-explaining the project, the preferences, what broke last time. Agentic Memory is the memory your agent runs itself: one install, and it stores, recalls, and searches its own state across sessions, machines, and even other agents. It can even sign itself up — one command returns a working API key, no browser, no human.

Works with: Claude Code · Cursor · Cline · Windsurf · Aider · Codex · any MCP client

Install to full recall in 60 seconds — real terminal session, no mockups. Watch all the demos.

Install

npm install -g agmry

Quick Start

# Agent signs itself up — working key returned instantly, no card, no browser
agmry signup my-project --local

# Store memory
agmry store my-project "User prefers TypeScript strict mode and pnpm"

# New session? Recall everything
agmry recall my-project

# Half-remember something? Search it
agmry search my-project "how do we deploy"

# Full reference
agmry --help

Agents sign themselves up

No browser. No OAuth. No waiting for a human.

$ agmry signup my-project
✓ Project "my-project" created
  API key: amk_************************  (saved to .agmry/config.json)
  Live:    full access for 48h — no card, $0 today

The key works immediately — every endpoint, every tool, full access for 48 hours. Within that window, your human completes a $0 card-auth that starts the free 7-day trial on the same key. Miss the window? Nothing is deleted — the key pauses and revives the moment the card-auth completes. Add --email you@company.com and the human gets the link automatically.

Three tiers of memory — because not all memory is equal

A transcript dump isn't memory. Agents need different recall for different things:

# Short-term: ordered, role-aware conversation history (sub-ms reads)
agmry store my-project "Deployed v2.1, rolled back — migration locked the users table" -r assistant
agmry recall my-project -n 50

# Durable facts: typed key-value context — decisions, preferences, runbooks
agmry ctx my-project set deploy_flow "push image to registry, then ask infra to roll"
agmry ctx my-project get deploy_flow

# Long-term: titled, tagged knowledge entries that survive months
agmry entry my-project "Auth decision" "JWT not sessions — mobile clients can't hold cookies" --tags "arch,decisions"
agmry entries my-project --tags "decisions"

# Work-in-progress: scratchpad that's allowed to expire
agmry scratch my-project set "midway through the billing refactor, invoice.js next"

And semantic search stitches it together when the agent only half-remembers:

agmry search my-project "did we ever discuss rate limiting"
# → surfaces a months-old entry, with similarity score

Session start = one command

Instead of pasting yesterday's summary into today's prompt:

agmry boot my-project --json          # messages + context + entries, one call
agmry boot my-project --semantic "billing refactor"   # or focused on a topic

~200 tokens of structured state, not top-k chunks of old transcripts.

MCP Server

Prefer tools over a CLI? agmry ships an MCP server. Point Claude Code (or any MCP client) at it and your agent gets 17 native tools: store, recall, search, bootstrap, context, entries, spaces, queues.

claude mcp add agenticmemory -- agmry mcp-serve

Claude Code remembering across sessions via MCP — click to watch.

For clients that use a JSON config (Cline, Cursor, Windsurf), pass your API key via the environment — the MCP server runs outside your project directory, so it won't pick up .agmry/config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agenticmemory": {
      "command": "agmry",
      "args": ["mcp-serve"],
      "env": { "AGMRY_API_KEY": "amk_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Remote MCP — zero install

Claude Web, Claude Desktop, Raycast, or any hosted MCP client can connect straight to the remote server. Same tools, same API key, nothing to install:

URL:  https://mcp.agenticmemory.ai/sse
Auth: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

End-to-end encryption (zero-knowledge spaces)

Create a space the server can never read. Encryption happens inside the CLI — the API only ever sees ciphertext.

agmry key generate                                  # one-time: creates + saves your key
agmry space create "Private" private --encryption e2e

agmry store SPACE "my secret"                       # encrypted before it leaves your machine
agmry recall SPACE                                  # transparently decrypted
agmry key verify SPACE                              # holding the right key?

Or derive per-space keys from a passphrase instead of storing a key:

agmry key set --passphrase "long secret phrase"

Notes:

• Semantic search is impossible on zero-knowledge spaces by design.
• Prefer encrypted at rest instead? --encryption managed — the server encrypts your data at rest and every feature (search, summaries) keeps working. No client key needed.
• Losing the key or passphrase means the data is unrecoverable. That's the point. Back it up: agmry key show --reveal.

Key resolution order: --enc-key / --passphrase flag → AGMRY_ENCRYPTION_KEY env → ./.agmry/config.json → ~/.agmry/config.json. Same envelope and key derivation as the Node and Python SDKs — keys are interchangeable across all three.

Multi-agent: one brain, many agents

Spaces are shareable. One agent stores the deploy runbook; another recalls it a week later, from a different machine, over a different interface (CLI, MCP, or REST — same memory). Your agents hand off between sessions and between projects without you couriering context.

And you stay in the loop: everything your agents remember is browsable in a human dashboard.

Queues — the agent bus

FIFO queues inside a space. One agent pushes work, another pops it — no polling glue, no extra infra.

agmry queue SPACE jobs push '{"task":"review PR #42"}'   # enqueue (FIFO)
agmry queue SPACE jobs pop                                # dequeue oldest — exit code 2 if empty
agmry queue SPACE jobs pop --wait 25                      # long-poll up to 25s for the next item
agmry queue SPACE jobs                                    # peek: length + head, without consuming
agmry queue SPACE jobs dlq push '{"task":"..."}' --reason "failed twice"   # dead-letter
agmry queue SPACE jobs dlq list                           # inspect dead-lettered items

Exit code 2 on empty means shell loops branch cleanly: while agmry queue SPACE jobs pop --wait 25 --json; do ...; done. Envelopes are opaque JSON — the server never inspects them.

Agent Integration

Add to your CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .clinerules, .windsurfrules, or AGENTS.md:

## Agentic Memory
This project uses Agentic Memory for persistent memory across sessions.
Use the `agmry` CLI. Key is in .agmry/config.json (auto-loaded).

agmry boot SPACE --json               # load everything at session start
agmry store SPACE "what happened"     # remember something
agmry ctx SPACE set key "value"       # store a durable decision/fact
agmry search SPACE "the deadline"     # find past context
agmry queue SPACE jobs push '{...}'   # send work to another agent
agmry queue SPACE jobs pop --wait 25  # receive work (exit 2 = empty)

Config Priority

1. --key flag
2. AGMRY_API_KEY environment variable
3. AGENTICMEMORY_API_KEY environment variable
4. ./.agmry/config.json (project-local)
5. ~/.agmry/config.json (global)

Add .agmry/ to your .gitignore.
