Hipocampo Overview

carrasquelalex1/hipocampo MCP server stores and retrieves agent memories in PostgreSQL 17 with pgvector, separating technical records from personal profile data. It exposes tools for hybrid search, direct retrieval, saving, updating, compression, graph navigation, project indexing, and database maintenance. Streamable HTTP is the recommended remote transport, with a local Python entry point also available. Reach for it when an agent needs persistent cross-session context, searchable project knowledge, or structured memory lifecycle operations.

Primary Use Cases for Hipocampo:
  • Persist technical decisions across agent sessions
  • Search indexed project source files by meaning and metadata
  • Store and retrieve user profile preferences
  • Compress retrieved memories before sending them to another model
