Mengram Overview

Mengram provides a human-like memory system for AI agents supporting semantic facts, episodic events, and evolving procedural workflows. It includes native multilingual retrieval across 23 languages, a knowledge graph, and multi-user isolation. The server integrates with Claude Code via hooks for auto-saving, auto-recall, and cognitive profile loading, enabling persistent memory that survives session clears and compaction.
