Hindsight Overview

The vectorize-io/hindsight MCP server provides long-term memory for AI agents, helping them retain information, retrieve relevant memories, and generate responses from stored context. Hindsight runs as a self-hosted service through Docker, pip, Helm, or an embedded Python mode, and exposes HTTP access for client applications. Reach for it when an agent needs memory across sessions rather than only conversation-history retrieval. It can use hosted, local, OpenAI-compatible, or gateway-based LLM providers.
