Features
- Memory Storage: Save and recall conversation messages
- Memory Abstracts: Maintain summarized memory context across conversations
- Recent History: Access recent conversations within configurable time windows
- Local Database: Uses SQLite for persistent storage without external dependencies
⚠️ Important
You must configure `MEMORY_DB_PATH` to a persistent location to avoid losing your conversation history when Claude Desktop closes. If not configured, the database defaults to ./memory.sqlite in a temporary location that may be cleared when the application restarts.
Configuration

Questions
What is the OpenMemory MCP server?
Simple standalone MCP server giving Claude the ability to remember your conversations and learn from them over time.

Is OpenMemory safe to connect to an agent?
