Hindsight Overview

vectorize-io/hindsight connects MCP-compatible agents to Hindsight, a long-term memory system designed to help agents learn over time. Its core operations retain information, recall relevant memories, and reflect on queries with a disposition-aware response. Use it for agents that need persistent knowledge beyond a single conversation, with Hindsight available through self-hosted, embedded, or managed deployments.

Primary Use Cases for Hindsight:
  • Store user facts across conversations
  • Recall relevant project knowledge for an agent
  • Generate responses from accumulated memory
  • Give coding agents persistent context
