2
+
3
+ Long-term memory for AI agents, served over the Model Context Protocol (stdio). Each
4
+ memory fades along a forgetting curve unless it is recalled, and each recall makes it
5
+ last longer. When the store is full, the weakest memory goes. The memory model and its
6
+ policies live in [`intelligence/memory/agent.py`](../intelligence/memory/agent.py); this
7
+ package adds the tools and SQLite persistence.
8
+
9
+ ## Tools
10
+
11
+ | Tool | What it does |
12
+ |---|---|
13
+ | `remember(text, tags?)` | Stores one memory. Returns its id and the ids of any memories the budget pushed out. |
14
+ | `recall(query, k=5)` | Returns the `k` most relevant memories (at most 20), each with its strength just before this recall. Recalling strengthens a memory. |
15
+ | `forget(id)` | Deletes a memory permanently. |
16
+ | `memory_stats()` | Reports the count, budget, policy, mean strength, and how many memories have ever been stored. |
17
+
18
+ ## Resources
19
+
20
+ Reading a resource is not recalling: neither one strengthens a memory.
21
+
22
+ | Resource | What it holds |
23
+ |---|---|
24
+ | `ebbtide://memories` | Every kept memory, strongest first, with its strength now. |
25
+ | `ebbtide://memories/{id}` | One memory by its id. |
26
+
27
+ ## Prompts
28
+
29
+ | Prompt | What it asks the agent to do |
30
+ |---|---|
31
+ | `recall_first(question)` | Recall what's relevant before answering the question. |
32
+ | `save_session()` | Store each fact, preference, decision or lesson from the conversation worth keeping. |
33
+
34
+ ## Setup
35
+
36
+ With [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), on Linux or an Apple silicon Mac (macOS 14 or later):
37
+
38
+ ```bash
39
+ uv tool install --torch-backend cpu ebbtide
40
+ claude mcp add ebbtide -s user -- ebbtide
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+ The first command installs two commands, `ebbtide` and `ebbtide-panel`, from PyPI in an
44
+ isolated environment. `--torch-backend cpu` picks PyTorch's CPU build (about 1.2 GB on disk)
45
+ over several GB of CUDA libraries; Ebbtide doesn't use a GPU. `-s user` makes Ebbtide available in
46
+ every project; without it, Claude Code would use it only in the folder you ran it from. To
47
+ update later, run `uv tool upgrade ebbtide`. To run the latest commit instead of the latest
48
+ release, install `git+https://github.com/aimsotrash/Ebbtide` in place of `ebbtide`.
49
+
50
+ Other MCP clients take the same server as a `uvx` command:
51
+
52
+ ```json
53
+ {
54
+ "mcpServers": {
55
+ "ebbtide": {
56
+ "command": "uvx",
57
+ "args": ["--torch-backend", "cpu", "ebbtide"]
58
+ }
59
+ }
60
+ }
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ `uvx` installs on the first launch, which takes a minute or two and can outlast a client's
64
+ startup timeout. Running `uvx --torch-backend cpu ebbtide < /dev/null` once in a terminal
65
+ does that install ahead of time.
66
+
67
+ The first `remember` or `recall` in a session takes about 5 seconds while the embedding
68
+ model (`all-MiniLM-L6-v2`) loads, and the very first run also downloads it (~90 MB).
69
+ After that, a call takes about 10 ms.
70
+
71
+ ## Panel
72
+
73
+ ```bash
74
+ ebbtide-panel # then open http://127.0.0.1:8765
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ A quiet local page beside the agent: every memory, strongest first, with its strength,
78
+ half-life and recall count. It reads the same database read-only every 2 seconds, so a
79
+ `remember`, a `recall` or an eviction shows up as it happens. The look-ahead slider shows
80
+ how strong each memory would be after that many more days without a recall: the recalled
81
+ ones fade more slowly. It listens on 127.0.0.1 only and loads nothing from the internet.
82
+
83
+ For a demo that shouldn't touch your real memories, point both at a scratch database: set
84
+ `EBBTIDE_DB=/tmp/ebbtide-demo.db` for the panel, and pass `-e EBBTIDE_DB=/tmp/ebbtide-demo.db`
85
+ when you register the server. Once a first run has downloaded the embedding model, the server
86
+ loads it from disk and never goes online, so venue Wi-Fi doesn't matter.
87
+
88
+ ## Configuration
89
+
90
+ | Variable | Default | Purpose |
91
+ |---|---|---|
92
+ | `EBBTIDE_DB` | `~/.local/share/ebbtide/memory.db` | SQLite file holding the memories and their embeddings. |
93
+ | `EBBTIDE_POLICY` | `ebbtide-count` | A policy name from `intelligence.memory.POLICIES`. Of the forgetting-curve policies, the default scored best on the benchmark's dev split at the 25% and 50% budgets; see [`bench/RESULTS.md`](../bench/RESULTS.md). |
94
+ | `EBBTIDE_BUDGET` | `1000` | The most memories kept. `keep-all` ignores it. |
95
+
96
+ Pass them with `-e` when you register the server, and give the panel the same values, since it
97
+ reads them from its own environment. Each tool call is one SQLite
98
+ transaction, so two agents can share one database safely.
99
+
100
+ ## Test
101
+
102
+ From the repo root:
103
+
104
+ ```bash
105
+ uv venv -p 3.12 .venv && uv pip install --python .venv -r requirements-test.txt
106
+ .venv/bin/python -m pytest ebbtide/tests/
107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ They call every tool through an in-process MCP client and fetch the panel through its
110
+ HTTP handler, with a stub embedder and a fake clock, so they never load the embedding model or need
111
+ PyTorch.

+ **Long-term memory for AI agents that forgets on purpose.**
24
+
25
+ Ebbtide was called Engram until October 31, 2026; I renamed it because several other memory
26
+ servers for AI agents already use that name. It began as a notes app, which I retired in
27
+ October 2026; its last version is the git tag
28
+ [`notes-app`](https://github.com/aimsotrash/Ebbtide/tree/notes-app).
29
+
30
+ **Live:** [aimsotrash-ebbtide.vercel.app](https://aimsotrash-ebbtide.vercel.app)
31
+
32
+ ## Install
33
+
34
+ With [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), on Linux or an Apple silicon Mac (macOS 14 or later).
35
+ For Claude Code:
36
+
37
+ ```bash
38
+ uv tool install --torch-backend cpu ebbtide
39
+ claude mcp add ebbtide -s user -- ebbtide
40
+ ```
41
+
42
+ For any other MCP client, add this to its configuration:
43
+
44
+ ```json
45
+ {
46
+ "mcpServers": {
47
+ "ebbtide": {
48
+ "command": "uvx",
49
+ "args": ["--torch-backend", "cpu", "ebbtide"]
50
+ }
51
+ }
52
+ }
53
+ ```
54
+
55
+ `--torch-backend cpu` installs PyTorch's CPU build (about 1.2 GB) instead of several GB of
56
+ CUDA libraries; Ebbtide doesn't use a GPU. The first `remember` or `recall` downloads a 90 MB
57
+ embedding model, and after that Ebbtide runs offline. Settings and
58
+ the memory panel are in [`ebbtide/README.md`](ebbtide/README.md).
59
+
60
+ ## Memory for AI agents
61
+
62
+ [`ebbtide/`](ebbtide/README.md) is an MCP server that gives an agent such as Claude
63
+ Code long-term memory across sessions, through four tools: `remember`, `recall`, `forget`
64
+ and `memory_stats`. Two resources, `ebbtide://memories` and `ebbtide://memories/{id}`, let a
65
+ client attach memories as context without strengthening them, and two prompts,
66
+ `recall_first` and `save_session`, start the common workflows. Each memory fades along a forgetting curve unless it is recalled, and
67
+ every recall makes it last longer. When the store reaches its budget, 1000 memories by
68
+ default, the weakest one goes first. The memories live in a SQLite file on your machine,
69
+ and only what a recall returns enters the agent's context.
70
+
71
+ A local panel lists the memories and how strong each one is, with a slider that looks
72
+ ahead to show which ones are fading.
73
+
74
+ ### Should an agent forget?
75
+
76
+ I replayed six memory policies on two public long-conversation benchmarks and measured
77
+ whether the memory still finds the evidence each question needs.
78
+ [LongMemEval](bench/RESULTS.md) has 500 questions with histories of about 490 turns;
79
+ its 30 abstention questions have no evidence to find, so 470 are scored. Settings were picked on
80
+ 92 dev questions and fixed before the other 378 were first scored.
81
+ [LoCoMo](bench/RESULTS-locomo.md) has 10 conversations that span 5 to 10 months, and
82
+ nothing was tuned on it.
83
+
84
+ - **Keeping everything wins when you can afford it.** With room for half the history, the
85
+ best forgetting policy finds all the evidence in its top 10 results for 37% of LongMemEval
86
+ questions and 27% of LoCoMo questions. Keeping everything does for 58.5% and 44.6%.
87
+ - **No forgetting rule wins everywhere.** On LongMemEval, keeping what gets used beats
88
+ keeping the newest. On LoCoMo, keeping the newest does best at the turn level.
89
+ - **Strengthening on recall beats plain LRU, modestly.** ebbtide-count, the server's
90
+ default, keeps up to 4 points more of the evidence than LRU on LongMemEval, and ranks every
91
+ answer session in its top 10 up to 14 points more often; I chose these comparisons after
92
+ seeing the results. On LoCoMo, where I chose the comparison before running it, both gains

94
+ 10 about as often as LRU.
95
+ - **Strengthening too hard backfires on facts that change.** FSRS-style spacing made old
96
+ facts stick: on LongMemEval's knowledge-update questions it found the newest fact 12 to
97
+ 17 points less often than LRU.
98
+ - **Fading didn't help as a ranking signal.** Tuning picked similarity alone almost
99
+ everywhere, so the gains come from what is kept, not from how it is ranked.
100

101
+ MemoryBank (Zhong et al., 2023) already applied an Ebbinghaus curve to LLM memory. What is
102
+ new here is the measured comparison with simple baselines, losses included.

109
+ ## Run it locally
110
+
111
+ To run the MCP server, follow the setup in [`ebbtide/README.md`](ebbtide/README.md).
112
+
113
+ To reproduce the benchmarks, from the repo root:
114
+
115
+ ```bash
116
+ uv venv -p 3.12 .venv && uv pip install --python .venv -e . # CPU-only PyTorch, per pyproject.toml
117
+ .venv/bin/python -m bench.longmemeval embed # downloads the data and embeds it once, ~45 min on a laptop CPU
118
+ .venv/bin/python -m bench.longmemeval run # writes bench/RESULTS.md
119
+ .venv/bin/python -m bench.locomo # writes bench/RESULTS-locomo.md
120
+ ```
121
+
122
+ The landing page for the MCP server lives in `site/` (Vite, React and Tailwind):
123
+
124
+ ```bash
125
+ cd site && npm install && npm run dev # http://localhost:5173
126
+ ```
127
+
128
+ The Python tests (20: 13 intelligence, 3 MCP server, 4 benchmark) stub the embedding model,
129
+ so they need only `requirements-test.txt`, which adds pytest; any venv works, such as the one
130
+ above or a fresh `uv venv -p 3.12 .venv`:
131
+
132
+ ```bash
133
+ uv pip install --python .venv -r requirements-test.txt
134
+ .venv/bin/python -m pytest intelligence/tests ebbtide/tests bench
135
+ ```
