- This version (0.0.0) is a placeholder, published only so that npm trusted publishing can be configured for the package. It contains no code. Do not install it.
3
+ `@squirrelnotes.app/mcp-embeddings` is the Squirrel Notes stdio MCP server
4
+ with **semantic memory search**. `search_memory` finds a memory by its meaning
5
+ as well as its words, so *"what coffee do they order?"* can find *"Orders a
6
+ flat white with oat milk"*.

5
- The real package — opt-in local embeddings for the Squirrel Notes MCP server (`@squirrelnotes.app/mcp`) — is published from the project's CI with npm trusted publishing.
8
+ It is the same server as [`@squirrelnotes.app/mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@squirrelnotes.app/mcp):
9
+ the same tools, the same inputs and the same output shape. It is built from the
10
+ same source and published from the same commit, at the same version. The
11
+ only differences are the order `search_memory` returns, its `ranking` (`hybrid`) and each hit's
12
+ `semanticScore`, which the base package sends as `null`. If you do not install it,
13
+ nothing changes for you.
14
+
15
+ ## What stays on your machine
16
+
17
+ - **The model runs locally.** It is all-MiniLM-L6-v2, a small English
18
+ sentence-embedding model. It runs in this process, on your CPU, through
19
+ ONNX Runtime. **No memory text is sent anywhere to be embedded**: not to
20
+ Squirrel Notes, not to HuggingFace, and not to any embedding API.
21
+ - **The model ships inside the package.** Nothing is downloaded when the
22
+ server runs, so embeddings work offline.
23
+ - **ONNX Runtime's own telemetry is turned off.** The runtime's official
24
+ macOS and Linux builds report usage to Microsoft by default. This package
25
+ sets `ORT_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1` before the runtime loads, whatever your
26
+ environment says. **On Windows** the runtime reports through Windows' own
27
+ event tracing (ETW) instead, which that setting does not affect; whether
28
+ those events leave your machine depends on your Windows diagnostic-data
29
+ settings.
30
+ - **Vectors stay local and encrypted.** Embedding vectors can reveal roughly
31
+ what a text said, so they are treated like the text itself:
32
+ - they are never sent to the server, never logged and never returned by a
33
+ tool;
34
+ - they are kept in one file per account in your OS cache directory
35
+ (`~/Library/Caches/squirrel-notes/` on macOS, `$XDG_CACHE_HOME` or
36
+ `~/.cache` on Linux, `%LOCALAPPDATA%` on Windows);
37
+ - that file is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, under a key derived (HKDF-SHA256)
38
+ from your data key, and written with mode `0600`. Windows ignores Unix
39
+ modes; there the file has your user profile's permissions.
40
+ - **What still leaves your machine is what always did.** The server stores your
41
+ memories as ciphertext only. `search_memory`'s *results* (the memory text)
42
+ go to the agent that asked, and so to that agent's model provider, exactly
43
+ as with the base package.
44
+
45
+ **What the encryption does not protect against:** anyone who can read your MCP
46
+ client config. That file holds your passphrase, which unlocks the data key,
47
+ which unlocks the vector file. The encryption protects the vector file when it
48
+ leaks on its own: in a backup, a synced folder or a support bundle.
49
+
50
+ ## Install (opt-in)
51
+
52
+ Change `args` in your MCP client config from the base package to this one. The
53
+ `env` block stays the same; add `ONNXRUNTIME_NODE_INSTALL` as shown.
54
+
55
+ ```json
56
+ {
57
+ "mcpServers": {
58
+ "squirrel-notes": {
59
+ "command": "npx",
60
+ "args": ["-y", "@squirrelnotes.app/mcp-embeddings"],
61
+ "env": {
62
+ "SQUIRREL_API_BASE_URL": "https://api.squirrelnotes.app",
63
+ "SQUIRREL_API_KEY": "sqn_<your_api_key>",
64
+ "SQUIRREL_PASSPHRASE": "<your_passphrase>",
65
+ "ONNXRUNTIME_NODE_INSTALL": "skip"
66
+ }
67
+ }
68
+ }
69
+ }
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ **Why `ONNXRUNTIME_NODE_INSTALL=skip`.** The runtime, `onnxruntime-node`, has an
73
+ install script. On Linux x64 only, that script downloads the NVIDIA CUDA
74
+ add-ons from nuget.org by default, checking no hash. This
75
+ package does not use the GPU, so the download is never needed. The setting turns
76
+ it off. On macOS, Windows and Linux arm64, the script downloads nothing.
77
+
78
+ **Pinned dependencies.** The package ships an `npm-shrinkwrap.json`, so npm
79
+ installs exactly the dependency versions that were audited and licence-checked
80
+ for the release.
81
+
82
+ **Size.** The package is about 17 MB to download, most of it the model.
83
+ `onnxruntime-node` adds about 300 MB unpacked, because it ships binaries for
84
+ every platform. That is why embeddings are a separate package.
85
+
86
+ To go back to lexical search, change `args` back to `@squirrelnotes.app/mcp`.
87
+ The vector file can be deleted at any time; it is rebuilt when needed.
88
+
89
+ ## How search ranks
90
+
91
+ - Without this package, `search_memory` is lexical: BM25 over the words of each
92
+ memory's text, entity and tags, times a recency decay per category.
93
+ - With it, two orders are fused by reciprocal rank fusion (k = 60): the
94
+ lexical order, and the semantic order (cosine similarity between the query
95
+ and each memory, times the same recency decay). Each order counts the decay
96
+ once, and the fused score is not multiplied again. A memory in both orders
97
+ ranks above one in only one.
98
+ - A semantic match must reach a minimum similarity of 0.35. Below that, a
99
+ memory is returned only if its words match.
100
+ - `score` is on a 0–1 scale here, and unbounded BM25 in the base package. It
101
+ orders one response only: a memory found by one order alone scores about 0.5
102
+ whatever its relevance. The keys are the same in both.
103
+ - To judge a hit, use the absolute scores: `semanticScore` (the cosine
104
+ similarity, reported for every hit, also those below 0.35 found by words) and
105
+ `lexicalScore` (the share of the query's content words, stopwords aside).
106
+ As a guide, from the recall gate's data (ADR-0444): below `semanticScore`
107
+ 0.45 and `lexicalScore` 0.67 a hit is rarely the answer (about 1 in 20); at
108
+ `semanticScore` ≥ 0.45 about half are, and at `lexicalScore` ≥ 0.67 about
109
+ 9 in 10. These were measured on the delivered (rounded) scores. `semanticScore` is a cosine, −1 to 1
110
+ (in practice about −0.1 to 0.9). `ranking` is `hybrid` when the semantic
111
+ order ran, `lexical` while the model loads or after it fails.
112
+ - Words outside ASCII letters and digits never match lexically, in either
113
+ package. Embeddings can find some of these memories (see *Recall*).
114
+ - A query with no ASCII letters or digits always comes back with a `note`.
115
+ It says the query cannot be searched, unless the semantic ranking actually
116
+ ran, in which case it says the results were found only by meaning.
117
+
118
+ ## When it is lexical anyway
119
+
120
+ Search falls back to the base package's lexical order, and says so once on
121
+ stderr, never per call, when:
122
+
123
+ - `SQUIRREL_MEMORY_EMBEDDINGS=0` is set;
124
+ - a model file's size or SHA-256 differs from `model-manifest.json`, or a
125
+ model file is missing (the model is refused, never loaded);
126
+ - ONNX Runtime cannot load on your platform;
127
+ - the runtime fails during a search (lexical for the rest of the session).
128
+
129
+ While the model is still loading at start-up (a fraction of a second), search
130
+ is lexical too.
131
+
132
+ **First searches.** Each memory is embedded once, then only again when it
133
+ changes (its revision moves). A search spends at most 8 seconds embedding
134
+ memories that have no vector yet; the rest still rank lexically until a later
135
+ search embeds them. Measured on an Apple M1 Pro: 500 memories in 4.4 s, 5,000
136
+ in 26.7 s.
137
+
138
+ ## Model integrity
139
+
140
+ `model-manifest.json` pins the model to a commit of
141
+ [`sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2`](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
142
+ (`1110a243…`, the quantised `onnx/model_qint8_arm64.onnx`, which runs on any
143
+ CPU). It records each file's size and SHA-256.
144
+
145
+ - The release workflow fetches the files from that commit, never from a
146
+ branch. It refuses any file that does not match, and checks them again
147
+ before packing.
148
+ - Every start reads each file, checks it, and gives the runtime the same bytes
149
+ it checked, so a file replaced after the check is never loaded.
150
+ - `SQUIRREL_MEMORY_MODEL_DIR` can point at a copy you placed yourself. It goes
151
+ through the same check.
152
+
153
+ The model is Apache-2.0; see `LICENSE-MODEL.txt`. This package is MIT.
154
+
155
+ ## Recall
156
+
157
+ The release is gated on a recall test (`npm run test:recall`). It compares
158
+ recall@5 of lexical and hybrid search on 500 memories and 160 queries.
159
+
160
+ - The corpus is **synthetic and written by an AI agent**, not user data, which
161
+ zero-knowledge encryption makes unreadable.
162
+ - Hybrid search must gain at least 15 points on paraphrased queries, and must
163
+ not lose on exact-word queries.
164
+ - The latest results are in ADR-0444 in the Squirrel Notes repository.
165
+
166
+ ## Environment variables
167
+
168
+ Everything in the base package's README applies, plus:
169
+
170
+ | Variable | Default | Description |
171
+ |---|---|---|
172
+ | `SQUIRREL_MEMORY_EMBEDDINGS` | on | `0` turns semantic search off (lexical only). |
173
+ | `SQUIRREL_MEMORY_MODEL_DIR` | the package's `model/` | Directory holding the model files. They are checked against the manifest. |
174
+ | `SQUIRREL_MEMORY_CACHE_DIR` | the OS cache directory | Where `squirrel-notes/memory-vectors-<id>.bin` is kept. |
175
+ | `ONNXRUNTIME_NODE_INSTALL` | — | Set to `skip` so the runtime's install script fetches no GPU add-ons (Linux x64). |
176
+
177
+ ## What is logged
178
+
179
+ Everything in the base package's list, plus one line at start-up: either
180
+ *local embeddings ready*, or *were not loaded*, followed by a reason (`manifest`,
181
+ `missing`, `integrity` or `runtime`) and, for the first three, a file name.
182
+ After that, a line appears only if the runtime fails or the vector file cannot
183
+ be written, and then only once. No line contains memory text, a query or a
184
+ vector.
