What it is

Local-first shared memory layer for AI coding agents across MCP clients, Git history, reasoning context, and project sessions.
— the description by AVIDS2

Summary from the brain’s metadata

Local-first shared memory layer for AI coding agents across MCP clients, Git history, reasoning context, and project sessions. One project memory system for Claude Code, Codex, CodeBuddy Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Grok Build, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Oh-my-Pi, Pi, Kiro, Antigravity, Trae, DeepSeek Harness, WorkBuddy, and any MCP-capable agent.

How it works

Memory model: Hybrid

AutoGineer overview, from the brain’s own files

Memory model: Hybrid. Folders: .github (agent config, 3 files); .windsurf (agent config, 2 files); assets (attachments, 32 files); docs (docs, 65 files); examples (examples, 4 files); packages (source code, 836 files); scripts (scripts, 18 files); src (source code, 382 files). The agent writes CLAUDE.md.

Memorix gives the AI coding agents you already use a shared, searchable project memory that survives new chats, IDE switches, terminal sessions, and handoffs. The memory lives under the Git project, not inside one chat window or one tool.

Use Claude Code today, Codex tomorrow, and Cursor in the afternoon. The agent can change; the project memory stays the same.

Use Memorix when you keep re-explaining the same project to a new agent session: the last session already figured something out, another IDE cannot see it, or a design decision is buried in a chat you cannot find anymore.

ProblemWhat Memorix adds
The next session forgets what the last session learnedProject-scoped memory, session summaries, timelines, and detail retrieval
Different agents know different thingsOne local memory pool available through MCP, hooks, CLI, SDK, and the bundled terminal agent
Git records what changed, but agents cannot recall it wellGit Memory turns commits into searchable engineering facts
Architecture decisions disappear into old chatsReasoning Memory stores why choices were made, with alternatives and trade-offs
Static rule files driftGotchas, fixes, and project skills evolve from real work
Parallel agent work gets messymemorix orchestrate coordinates task context, handoffs, locks, verification, and review loops

Memorix is local-first. SQLite is the canonical store. Small projects use the in-process Orama path; larger projects use a persistent SQLite FTS5 candidate index and, when available, an optional local LanceDB semantic shadow index. Both indexes are rebuildable and are never a limit on how many durable memories you can keep. LLM-backed formation and embedding remain optional.

Capabilities

Memorix is more than a memory store. It also installs agent integrations, keeps useful work events, turns commits into project facts, exposes a local control plane, and can coordinate multi-agent work when a task needs it.

Memorix connects through the interfaces each agent already supports: plugin packages, MCP, project rules, hooks, skills, or the bundled terminal agent. memorix setup chooses the right setup for each agent and keeps stdio MCP as the default transport.

See Integration Surfaces for the current support matrix and what each generated file means.

Use the same setup command without --global only when you intentionally want repo-local guidance, rules, or hooks in the current Git project.

CLI, MCP, and HTTP are different entry points:

  • memorix CLI is the direct command surface for setup, memory search/store, Git Memory, import/export, dashboard, orchestration, diagnostics, and automation.

  • memorix serve is the stdio MCP bridge used by IDEs and coding agents. Its default tool profile is micro, so agents see only the compact core tool set.

  • memorix background start / memorix serve-http run the HTTP service for a shared endpoint, dashboard, VPS Docker deployment, or multiple clients.

Multi-device store sync is opt-in and separate from HTTP sharing. It never uploads the live SQLite database or WAL files. By default it only relays qualified project-visible observations for the current Git project; personal, agent-targeted, candidate, and ephemeral records stay local. Pass --scope user to include every local project. Set MEMORIX_SYNC_PROVIDER and inspect memorix sync store status --json before the first push.

<h2 id="install"><picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="assets/tags/light/section-install.svg"><img src="assets/tags/section-install.svg" alt="Install" height="32" /></picture></h2>

Requirements:

  • Node.js >=22.18.0

  • Git, because project identity is derived from the real Git root

Install and initialize:

npm install -g memorix
memorix init --global                   # optional defaults
memorix setup --agent claude --global   # or codex, copilot, cursor, pi, gemini-cli, opencode,
                                       # codebuddy, windsurf, kiro, antigravity, trae, openclaw, hermes, omp

memorix init is optional. It creates or updates TOML configuration:

  • ~/.memorix/config.toml for global defaults

  • <git-root>/memorix.toml for optional project overrides

Legacy memorix.yml, .env, and ~/.memorix/config.json are still read for compatibility, but new setup flows use TOML.

If you want repo-local guidance or hooks for a specific repository, run the same setup command from inside that repo without --global. Codex is the exception: its supported path is the user-level plugin install, so Memorix leaves project .codex configuration alone.

<h2 id="quick-start"><picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="assets/tags/light/section-quick-start.svg"><img src="assets/tags/section-quick-start.svg" alt="Quick Start" height="32" /></picture></h2>

Connect an existing agent

Use the setup command first. The global form is the normal one-time install:

memorix setup --agent claude --global
memorix setup --agent codex --global
memorix setup --agent copilot --global
memorix setup --agent cursor --global
memorix setup --agent pi --global
memorix setup --agent gemini-cli --global
memorix setup --agent opencode --global
memorix setup --agent windsurf --global
memorix setup --agent kiro --global
memorix setup --agent antigravity --global
memorix setup --agent trae --global
memorix setup --agent openclaw --global
memorix setup --agent hermes --global
memorix setup --agent codebuddy --global
memorix setup --agent omp --global
memorix setup --agent dsh --global
memorix setup --agent workbuddy --global
memorix setup --agent grok --global

What it installs depends on the target agent, but the goal is the same: make Memorix available wherever you open that agent without asking you to wire every repo by hand.

  • Claude Code: installs the Memorix plugin package, adds CLAUDE.md guidance, and enables hook capture when you do not pass --noHooks.

  • Codex: installs one user-level Memorix plugin with bundled stdio MCP, skills, and lifecycle hooks. It does not write project-local .codex config or change your model, approval, or sandbox settings. When Codex asks, review the plugin hook definition once with /hooks; --noHooks skips automatic capture.

  • GitHub Copilot CLI: installs the Copilot plugin package and official Memorix skills.

  • Pi: installs the Pi extension/skills package and native MCP config (Pi 1.0+): ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json with --global, or .pi/mcp.json for project setup.

  • Cursor: writes Cursor MCP/rules/config entries in the chosen scope.

  • Gemini CLI: installs the extension package, GEMINI.md context, hooks, and skills. Antigravity CLI has an official Gemini CLI migration path, but Gemini CLI remains an active standalone target.

  • OpenCode: installs the local plugin file, opencode.json, skills, and AGENTS.md guidance.

  • Windsurf, Kiro, Trae: write the MCP/rules/hooks files the target supports.

  • Antigravity: installs the official plugin package with plugin.json, mcp_config.json, hooks.json, rules, and skills under ~/.gemini/config/plugins/memorix or .agents/plugins/memorix.

  • OpenClaw: installs an OpenClaw-compatible bundle with .mcp.json, official skills, and an OpenClaw HOOK.md/handler.ts hook pack.

  • Hermes Agent: installs into Hermes home (%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes on native Windows, ~/.hermes elsewhere, or HERMES_HOME), enables the plugin in config.yaml, registers plugin hooks, slash/CLI commands, skills, and writes MCP config.

  • CodeBuddy Code: installs a user-scope local marketplace plugin under ~/.codebuddy/memorix-local with MCP, skills, and hooks. It does not change existing CodeBuddy model, permission, or settings files; CodeBuddy keeps third-party hook approval in its own /hooks flow.

  • Oh-my-Pi: installs an omp.extensions package with extension hook events, a memorix command, official skills, and writes MCP config.

  • DeepSeek Harness: writes a Memorix @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client row into $DSH_HOME/cordis.patch.yml (default ~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml), appends guidance to the harness AGENTS.md, and installs official skills under $DSH_HOME/skills. The row follows DSH's own shipped Memorix reference, so tools appear as mcp__memorix__*.

  • WorkBuddy: writes a Memorix MCP server row into ~/.workbuddy/mcp.json (or <project>/.workbuddy/mcp.json for project installs) and appends guidance to AGENTS.md. Tools appear as mcp__memorix__*; there is no hooks surface.

  • Grok Build: installs native lifecycle hooks under ~/.grok/hooks/memorix.json and guidance in ~/.grok/AGENTS.md. MCP stays host-owned by default; pass --mcp http to write [mcp_servers.memorix] with url = "http://localhost:3211/mcp". Project-local hooks require Grok /hooks-trust, while global hooks are trusted. Set GROK_HOME to use a custom Grok home.

Need a quieter install? Add --noHooks for targets where setup can control hook capture separately from the host's official package entry. It keeps MCP and guidance, but skips Memorix hook capture.

If you intentionally want repo-local guidance or hooks, run the same command inside that repository without --global.

If your agent only needs a manual MCP entry, use stdio:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memorix": {
      "command": "memorix",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

For an npm-based MCP client or registry tester, use the complete command npx -y memorix serve. The serve argument matters: memorix without arguments opens the bundled memcode terminal agent when run by a human, while MCP clients should start the stdio server explicitly.

For a manually managed Claude Code entry, add "alwaysLoad": true inside the memorix server object. This lets Claude Code expose Memorix tools during print-mode startup; memorix doctor agents --agent claude can detect and repair a missing setting.

HTTP is not required for normal setup. Use it only when you intentionally want a shared background service, dashboard, VPS Docker deployment, or multiple clients using the same endpoint. Local development uses the Node service directly and does not require Docker:

memorix background start

Then point the client at:

http://localhost:3211/mcp

In HTTP mode, agents should bind the active repo explicitly with memorix_session_start(projectRoot=...) when the client can provide the workspace path. Git remains the final source of truth for project identity.

Uninstall

Preview what will be removed:

memorix uninstall --dry-run

Stop the background service and remove hooks:

memorix uninstall --background --hooks

Full cleanup:

memorix uninstall --yes --background --hooks --purge-data
npm uninstall -g memorix

memorix uninstall reports MCP config entries for manual cleanup instead of silently editing every MCP file it finds.

The CLI is direct and does not depend on an MCP session. It binds to the current Git project, or to the project supplied with --cwd. Without an active identity it reads, writes, and exports project-visible memory only. Use memorix identity join or memorix identity use --agent-id <id> only when you intentionally need personal/team memory or coordinated task actions; memorix identity clear returns the terminal to project scope. --as <active-agent-id> is the one-command alternative for scripts. Both camelCase and kebab-case flags are accepted.

Manage controlled media

Media is opt-in. An explicit local import is copied into Memorix's local data directory, hashed, and kept outside the Git worktree. It becomes normal memory only when you attach it. Memorix never captures every screenshot or tool output. An asset may be up to the configured media limit (100 MiB by default). Automatic vision analysis is deliberately capped at 20 MiB; a larger image is still kept and can be attached, but Memorix records a clear text fallback instead of sending an oversized payload to a model provider.

memorix media import --path ./architecture.png --json
memorix media attach --asset <asset-id> --title "Architecture diagram" --json
memorix media list --kind image --json
memorix media show --asset <asset-id> --json
memorix media remove --asset <asset-id> --force --json

# Controlled derivations: explicit, bounded, and attachable to memory.
memorix media derive-pdf --asset <asset-id> --attach --json
memorix media derive-audio --asset <asset-id> --attach --json

# Legacy image analysis now uses the same controlled asset lifecycle.
memorix ingest image --path ./architecture.png --json

MiniMax image generation is a deliberate CLI operation. Video generation returns a durable job immediately; inspect or cancel that job rather than waiting in an agent request.

# Configure MINIMAX_API_KEY in your user environment or .env, never in Git.
memorix media generate image --prompt "A clean system architecture diagram" --json
# Image-to-image with a reference image (MiniMax image-01 / image-01-live):
memorix media generate image --prompt "Keep the subject, change the background" --image ./reference.png --json
memorix media generate video --prompt "A short product walkthrough" --json
memorix media status --job <media-job-id> --json
memorix media cancel --job <media-job-id> --json

memorix_media is the compact MCP companion in every profile, including micro. It supports import, attach, list, show, PDF/audio derivations, generation, and job status. MCP image and video generation are disabled by default because they may incur provider costs. Set MEMORIX_MCP_MEDIA_GENERATION=1 only after you deliberately want an agent to request billed MiniMax output. The normal OpenRouter text embedding lane is still text-only; media vectors are created only by a provider that explicitly declares support for that modality. Text descriptions and attachments remain a useful ordinary retrieval fallback.

Curated Long-term Memoryreviewed episodic events, stable facts, or reusable procedures with evidence"What should this agent still know or do later?"
Compact Continuityrecent host-native compact summaries or lifecycle markers"What survived the last context compaction?"

Search is project-scoped by default. scope="global" searches across projects. The search boosts Git Memory for "what changed" questions and reasoning records for "why" questions.

Long-term memory is deliberately not an automatic dump of every note. A source observation, Claim, workflow, session, and code snapshot keep their existing roles. An agent may ask memorix_store to create an additional long-term record; an explicit request auto-qualifies and enters task briefs as a durable anchor, while hook-captured or Git-derived candidates stay pending until qualified. Approval stays an explicit operator review. Use memorix memory long-term approve|archive|supersede to record the evidence-backed lifecycle. Only a manually created or user-confirmed user + portable item may be considered in another local project; project code, Git facts, tests, workflows, sessions, and observations cannot be promoted into portable user memory.

memorix context "..." is the default Memory Autopilot entry. It builds a compact task-lensed brief for agents: bugfix tasks lean toward tests and repros, release tasks lean toward package/changelog/build checks, onboarding tasks lean toward docs and entry points, and stale or unrelated memories stay in warning lanes instead of flooding the prompt. Use --fallback --brief-json when MCP is unavailable and a CLI fallback needs the same bounded brief plus a receipt of what was selected or omitted; --json remains the detailed diagnostic form. A normal new task does not receive an old-session dump. For an explicit continuation, memorix resume "..." adds only the latest useful session summary, up to three readable durable anchors, and at most one recent source-labelled host compact checkpoint. A durable anchor carries a durable:<id> reference, so an agent can expand the full reviewed record through memorix_detail only when needed. Keyword matches stay primary; when no reviewed durable item matches and an embedding provider is configured, Memorix makes one 1.8-second, no-retry semantic fallback for paraphrases or cross-language tasks. A slow or unavailable provider simply leaves the normal keyword-only Workset intact. A checkpoint is lifecycle evidence, not durable memory or a transcript backup. Agents should read the suggested files before trusting stored memory.

memorix serve defaults to --mode micro (9 tools) to keep MCP tool schemas small for agents. memorix setup writes --mode lite (21 tools) into the installed MCP config so the normal memory, continuity, and session surface is reachable. Use --mode team (29 tools) for coordination tools, or --mode full (48 tools) for advanced and compatibility tools such as checkpoint inspection.

Shortcuts and aliases: memorix search / remember / recent are direct query shortcuts, bg/bs start the background service, hook runs the hook launcher, and memorix config get|path|migrate inspects or migrates config files.

memorix orchestrate uses the current checkout for single-worker runs. When running multiple workers, it creates task worktrees under .worktrees/ and merges successful task branches back. Use --isolated to force worktree isolation for one worker, --no-worktree to disable it, --allow-dirty to run with uncommitted changes, and --no-auto-merge to preserve task worktrees for manual review.

Minimal ~/.memorix/config.toml:

[agent]
provider = "openai"
model = "gpt-4o"
api_key = "..."

[memory.llm]
provider = "openai"
model = "gpt-4o-mini"
api_key = "..."

[embedding]
provider = "auto"

[memory]
inject = "minimal"
formation = "active"

Use [memory.llm] and [embedding] for Memorix memory quality and retrieval. Use [agent] for the model memcode talks to while coding. Keep credentials in global config or environment variables, and do not commit secrets.

For the optional Atlas Cloud memory preset, run memorix init and choose Atlas Cloud, or set provider = "atlascloud" in [memory.llm]. It uses the OpenAI-compatible https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1 endpoint and reads ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY or the explicit MEMORIX_LLM_API_KEY.

For OpenRouter embeddings, use provider = "api", base_url = "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1", and model = "qwen/qwen3-embedding-8b". Memorix accepts OPENROUTER_API_KEY for that embedding endpoint; MEMORIX_EMBEDDING_API_KEY remains the explicit override.

For Requesty, choose Requesty in memorix init or set provider = "requesty" in [memory.llm] (endpoint https://router.requesty.ai/v1, key from REQUESTY_API_KEY or MEMORIX_LLM_API_KEY). Requesty embeddings use provider = "api", base_url = "https://router.requesty.ai/v1", and model = "openai/text-embedding-3-small" with REQUESTY_API_KEY.

For API Route, choose API Route in memorix init or set provider = "apiroute" in [memory.llm]. The preset uses https://global.api-route.com/v1 and deepseek-v4.1-flash, with your own API_ROUTE_API_KEY or MEMORIX_LLM_API_KEY. It is opt-in memory LLM processing; embeddings and memcode's model registry are configured separately. See configuration.

For Cheaper Inference, choose Cheaper Inference in memorix init or set provider = "cheaperinference" in [memory.llm]. The preset uses https://api.cheaperinference.com/v1 and gpt-5.4-mini, with your own CHEAPER_INFERENCE_API_KEY or MEMORIX_LLM_API_KEY. It is opt-in memory LLM processing; embeddings and memcode's model registry are configured separately. See configuration.

For Runcrate, choose Runcrate in memorix init or set provider = "runcrate" in [memory.llm]. The preset uses https://api.runcrate.ai/v1 and the open-weight deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, with your own RUNCRATE_API_KEY or MEMORIX_LLM_API_KEY. It is opt-in memory LLM processing; embeddings and memcode's model registry are configured separately. See configuration.

For controlled MiniMax media generation, set MINIMAX_API_KEY (global) or MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY (China region) in your environment or .env. The media library never stores that key, a signed output URL, or base64 payloads. CLI generation is explicit; MCP generation additionally requires MEMORIX_MCP_MEDIA_GENERATION=1.

Memorix 1.3.3: Multimodal Media and Stateless-Ready MCP

Why this release exists

Memorix can already turn an image into a text observation, but the image itself is discarded. That is useful as a one-off note, not as a trustworthy multimedia memory system. It also cannot safely distinguish a generated image URL from a durable local asset, and it has no durable model for asynchronous video work.

1.3.3 adds the foundation that makes media a real part of project memory without turning every screenshot, URL, or model output into an opaque blob collection. The release contains five connected capabilities:

  1. a controlled local media asset lifecycle;

  2. MiniMax image generation as an explicit asset-producing operation;

  3. MiniMax asynchronous video generation as a durable job, not a blocking tool call;

  4. typed embedding inputs with honest capability and fallback behavior; and

  5. an MCP request boundary that keeps product state independent from the legacy transport session while preserving current clients.

These are one system. A provider response that cannot be stored, traced, retrieved, removed, and recovered is not a Memorix media feature.

Product model

                     |      ordinary observation + BM25 retrieval

                     |
                     v
             explicit attachment to memory

The image or video is never an instruction. Descriptions, OCR, file metadata, and provider output are treated as untrusted data. They may be searched and shown to an agent, but never become executable rules, hooks, commands, or workflow gates.

Goals

1. Controlled media assets

Add first-class MediaAsset records, separate from Observation text:

  • Bytes live only under the local Memorix data directory, outside the Git worktree.

  • A SHA-256 content hash is the canonical identity and provides deduplication.

  • The database stores relative storage path, byte size, MIME type, media kind, source type, creation time, optional safe source label, and provider/model provenance. It never persists signed download URLs, inline base64, or API credentials.

  • media_asset_links explicitly connects an asset to an observation or another durable consumer. Reference counts are derived from those links rather than trusted from an unprotected mutable counter.

  • Import accepts only a local, regular file under an explicit path. Generation downloads only provider output after response validation. Arbitrary external URLs are not a public ingestion route.

  • Quota cleanup is fail-closed: it removes only unlinked assets, oldest first, and leaves assets alone when link accounting cannot be read.

  • Removing an asset detaches its links and textual/vector derivations together; a linked asset requires an explicit --force operator action.

2. MiniMax image generation

memorix media generate image is a user-controlled creation command. It sends a prompt and declared options to MiniMax, validates the provider response, downloads each returned image into the controlled asset store, and reports asset IDs. It does not silently add model output to project memory.

An image enters memory only through memorix media attach --asset <id> or an explicit --attach flag. The attachment creates a normal source-backed observation with a small textual description and asset reference, allowing the ordinary memory pipeline to remain the retrieval source of truth.

The controlled asset limit is 100 MiB by default. Visual analysis is a separate 20 MiB bounded operation: a larger image can still be imported and attached, but it receives an explicit text fallback instead of an oversized chat request.

The provider configuration is environment/config driven. MINIMAX_API_KEY, base URL, and model are never stored in an asset, observation, or diagnostic. Provider output URLs are treated as temporary transport inputs and discarded after successful controlled storage.

3. MiniMax video generation

Video generation is asynchronous by contract. memorix media generate video creates a durable media-video-generation maintenance job with a Memorix mediaJobId, then returns immediately. The worker owns:

queued -> submitting -> provider-pending -> downloading -> completed
                                      \-> retry / failed / cancelled
  • The job payload contains only safe request parameters and the project ID. API keys come from current configuration at execution time.

  • The provider task ID and sanitized provider status are stored separately from the temporary output URL.

  • Polling has bounded backoff, leases, cancellation, and recovery after a host exit. Re-running the same requested job is deduplicated.

  • A finished video is stored like any other controlled asset. It is not attached to memory unless the caller requested attachment.

  • The initial release supports MiniMax's officially documented task creation and query flow. It does not claim video semantic embeddings before a provider capability is configured and tested.

4. Typed embeddings and retrieval

Text vectors and media vectors are not interchangeable. An embedding profile therefore records provider, model, dimensions, modality, task intent, and version. A query only compares vectors from the same compatible profile.

The public input shape is deliberately typed:

type EmbeddingInput =
  | { modality: 'text'; text: string }
  | { modality: 'image'; assetId: string }
  | { modality: 'audio'; assetId: string }
  | { modality: 'video'; assetId: string }
  | { modality: 'document'; assetId: string };

type EmbeddingIntent = 'query' | 'document';

The provider receives resolved local bytes only after the asset-store boundary has checked size and MIME type. It never receives an arbitrary user URL. Text providers expose text-only capability. A native multimodal provider may opt in for a declared media modality; an unsupported request returns a typed capability result rather than faking a vector.

Every media asset has a text fallback path. Image description/tags/OCR are stored as an observation and indexed in BM25. If visual embedding is disabled, slow, unavailable, or incompatible, normal text retrieval remains useful. This is the default behavior for the OpenRouter text embedding configuration used by most Memorix installations.

5. Stateless-ready MCP boundary

Current released MCP SDK clients use legacy HTTP session headers and some clients still use Roots for project discovery. That is a transport compatibility layer, not Memorix product identity.

1.3.3 introduces a small RequestContext/binding resolver boundary:

  • Product operations receive a resolved project/workspace binding and explicit actor metadata; they do not read an HTTP session map directly.

  • The old Mcp-Session-Id map remains isolated in serve-http as a legacy adapter. A low-level server/discover adapter now covers the required 2026-07-28 discovery result without upgrading the pinned v1 SDK.

  • Asset IDs, media job IDs, project IDs, and attachment targets are explicit durable identifiers. They are never inferred from a live MCP connection.

  • New media tools work through stdio, legacy streamable HTTP, and direct CLI invocation with identical project binding behavior.

  • No release depends on the MCP TypeScript SDK v2. The current server remains compatible with existing legacy clients and supports versionless list/call through the v1 SDK's legacy envelopes. The adapter does not claim modern result caching, Tasks, subscriptions, or complete 2026 conformance.

Non-goals

  • No automatic capture of every screenshot, tool output, or browser image.

  • No remote URL ingestion, cloud object store, cross-machine media sync, or third-party account identity.

  • No claim that MiniMax generation itself provides multimodal embeddings.

  • No automatic audio/video transcription, frame extraction, or arbitrary media understanding in 1.3.3. The asset model makes those future derivations safe.

  • No forced migration to a protocol version that the published MCP TypeScript SDK does not yet support; discovery is a narrow compatibility adapter.

  • No additional swarm of low-level MCP tools; CLI is the complete management surface and MCP exposes only small agent-facing operations.

CLI and MCP surface

The CLI is canonical and supports JSON output for agents:

memorix media import --path ./architecture.png --json
memorix media list --kind image --json
memorix media show --asset <asset-id> --json
memorix media attach --asset <asset-id> --title "Architecture diagram" --json
memorix media remove --asset <asset-id> [--force] --json
memorix media cleanup --max-bytes 1073741824 --json

memorix media generate image --prompt "..." [--model image-01] [--attach] --json
memorix media generate video --prompt "..." [--model MiniMax-H3] [--attach] --json
memorix media status --job <media-job-id> --json
memorix media cancel --job <media-job-id> --json

The MCP profile adds only one high-level memorix_media operation with a discriminated action (import, attach, list, show, generate-image, generate-video, status). It uses the same services as the CLI. Destructive actions remain CLI-first and require an explicit operation. Generation is disabled in MCP by default and requires MEMORIX_MCP_MEDIA_GENERATION=1; this prevents an agent from creating billable provider output without an operator's explicit policy choice.

Security and resource rules

  1. Accept only regular local files. Reject directories, special files, symlinks escaping the supplied path, unknown MIME types, empty input, and assets over a configured maximum.

  2. Verify hash, byte length, and file magic/MIME consistency before commit.

  3. Generated output is downloaded with protocol, redirect, byte-limit, and content-type checks, then copied into local content-addressed storage.

  4. No API key, signed URL, full remote URL, or inline base64 enters SQLite, Orama, memory text, task payload, logs, or CLI JSON.

  5. Descriptions are clearly marked as derived data and subject to the same credential sanitization as observations.

  6. Cleanup never deletes linked assets. A corrupted link table stops cleanup rather than guessing.

  7. Media background work never blocks MCP tool response paths.

  8. Legacy base64 image input is canonical, bounded before decoding, and limited to 20 MiB for visual analysis. Provider descriptions and diagnostics are credential-sanitized before they enter durable media records.

Delivery phases

Phase A: contract and persistence

Create this specification, the asset domain types, additive SQLite schema, content-addressed storage service, and unit tests for import/dedup/remove/quota.

Phase B: text-backed asset retrieval

Convert the existing ingest image path to import a real asset, retain the current text analysis as a derivation, and create an attached observation. Verify that BM25 can find it without any media vector provider.

Phase C: typed embedding boundary

Adopt a reviewed, contributor-authored typed input foundation where correct. Add profiles and a media-vector store that cannot contaminate the current text vector space. Implement a truthful text fallback and capability tests.

Phase D: MiniMax image and video providers

Review contributor work before accepting it. Use its image provider only if its official request/response handling, response byte limits, and tests meet this contract. Implement video as durable job lifecycle, not synchronous generation.

Phase E: stateless-ready transport adapter

Extract binding resolution from HTTP session state, add tests proving a media operation works with explicit project binding, stdio, and legacy HTTP adapters, then document the 2026-07-28 migration boundary.

Phase F: 1.3.3 release gates
  • focused domain tests plus full typecheck/build/test;

  • mocked MiniMax success, failure, timeout, and recovery tests;

  • real local import/attach/search/remove CLI smoke on Windows;

  • packed-package install smoke;

  • no personal Codex/Claude/OpenCode configuration mutation;

  • documentation and changelog reviewed.

Phase G: 1.3.4 hardening (completed 2026-08-02)

1.3.4 exercised fresh install, Windows CLI windows-hide behavior, CLI/stdio/HTTP MCP routes, cancellation/restart of media jobs, quota cleanup, failure messages, and agent-facing UX. The resulting fixes are published in the 1.3.4 release notes and passed Windows and Ubuntu CI.

Phase H: 1.4 stable release (completed 2026-08-02)

1.4.0 was cut after the 1.3.3 and 1.3.4 gates were green, supported paths had packaged CLI evidence, and no high-severity data-loss, credential-retention, Windows-popup, or MCP binding regression was known. “Stable” means no known release blocker after these tests, not an impossible claim of mathematical perfection.

Acceptance criteria

  1. Importing the same local image twice produces one stored asset hash and two explicit links only when two attachments are requested.

  2. An image ingested through the existing command remains usable after restart; deleting the source file does not delete the controlled copy.

  3. Image-derived text is searchable through normal lexical memory retrieval with embeddings disabled.

  4. A text-only embedder never produces a pretend image vector; the returned capability/fallback state is explicit.

  5. Incompatible vector profile dimensions or modalities cannot be compared.

  6. MiniMax image output is retained only after download and hash validation; its temporary source URL never appears in a database dump or CLI JSON.

  7. A video job survives process restart, can be inspected/cancelled, retries boundedly, and produces an asset only after provider completion.

  8. No generated asset enters project memory without an explicit attach action.

  9. The same media action works through CLI and MCP using an explicit resolved project binding, independent of a legacy HTTP session identifier.

  10. 1.3.4 regression tests covered Windows, fresh package install, CLI, stdio, HTTP MCP, quota cleanup, and error UX before 1.4.0 was published.

Research and implementation basis

The design borrows the safe pieces of AgentMemory's managed image references, reference-count-aware cleanup, and modality provenance. It adopts the AI-Agents-in-Depth guidance that native multimodal encoding, text extraction, and tool-driven inspection are complementary rather than interchangeable. It uses the MCP 2026-07-28 direction by isolating legacy connection state now, without upgrading production code to an unpublished SDK API.

Contributor work remains contributor work: PR #134 is a potential typed embedding foundation, #165 a potential MiniMax image provider, and #153 a potential model-capability improvement. They are reviewed and merged with their authorship preserved only when their actual contract fits this design.

Advantages

  • Local-first: the memory stays in files or a database on your own machine (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files, evidence: README.md)
  • Works with 14 MCP clients (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files, evidence: README.md)
  • Open licence (Apache-2.0) (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files)

Limitations

  • Needs an API key (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, API_ROUTE_API_KEY, ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY) (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files, evidence: README.md)
  • Needs a database (LanceDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite) (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files, evidence: README.md)
  • Runs code automatically: review what it runs before you open it (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files)
  • No ZIP download: install it from its source (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files)
