widemem is a local-first memory layer for LLM apps. It extracts facts from conversations, ranks them by importance and recency, resolves contradictions in one LLM call, and tells your agent how confident it is before it answers. By default everything runs on your machine: Ollama for the LLM, sentence-transformers for embeddings, FAISS and SQLite for storage. Cloud providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) are optional add-ons.
Install
pip install "widemem-ai[local]" # FAISS, Ollama client, sentence-transformers ollama pull llama3.1:8b # the default local model, 4.9 GB
You need Ollama installed and running. The first run also downloads the all-MiniLM-L6-v2 embedding model (about 90 MB) from Hugging Face; after that, set HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1 and widemem runs fully offline. Python 3.10+.
What local costs: [local] pulls PyTorch through sentence-transformers (about 550 MB on macOS; more on Linux with CUDA wheels), and with the defaults each add() makes up to two LLM calls, extract then resolve. On an Apple M4 wit

3 read · 0 write · 1 destructive. Blast radius: 1 tool can delete or overwrite — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling this one.
| Tool | Risk | Description |
|---|---|---|
widemem_count | read | Count stored memories, optionally filtered by user. |
widemem_delete | destructive | Delete a memory by its ID. |
widemem_export | read | Export all stored memories as a JSON array, optionally filtered by user. |
widemem_health | read | Health check: verify the widemem server is running and responsive. |

Questions
What is the Widemem MCP server?
Local-first memory layer for LLM apps and agents. Runs offline on Ollama, sentence-transformers and FAISS; OpenAI and Anthropic optional. Importance scoring, contradiction resolution, confidence-aware retrieval.
What tools does Widemem expose?
4 in total: 3 read-only, 0 that write, and 1 that can delete or overwrite (widemem_delete). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Widemem safe to connect to an agent?
No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (69/100) and found 2 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on. Separately from the audit: 1 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.
What credentials does Widemem need?
It reads OPENAI_API_KEY and WIDEMEM_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Widemem run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as widemem-ai.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (fb547668d7a9), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
