CogmemAi — Cognitive Memory for Any Ai System

Autonomous robots. Self-driving vehicles. Defense systems. Coding assistants. Any Ai system that needs to remember.

CogmemAi is a portable memory layer that gives any Ai system persistent recall across sessions, devices, users, and teams — and captures knowledge autonomously, even when your Ai forgets to save. 95.10% accuracy on LongMemEval — top published score on the field's hardest long-term memory benchmark. 91% on LoCoMo, above human performance (87.9%). Quantum-safe encryption. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, and any MCP-compatible tool. Switch editors, switch models, switch machines — your knowledge stays. Not just one score on a test — the most complete Ai memory system available.

What's New in v3

Loud Failures on Firewall Blocks (v3.20.0)

When a request to the CogmemAi backend is intercepted by an upstream firewall, CDN, or proxy, the response is HTML, not JSON. Earlier versions tried to JSON-parse it and threw a confusing `Unexpected token ' Skills.

CLI Commands

npx cogmemai-mcp setup          # Interactive setup wizard
npx cogmemai-mcp setup     # Setup with API key
npx cogmemai-mcp verify         # Test connection and show usage
npx cogmemai-mcp --version      # Show installed version
npx cogmemai-mcp help           # Show all commands

Manual Setup

If you prefer to configure manually instead of using `npx cogmemai-mcp setup`:

Option A — Per project (add `.mcp.json` to your project root):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cogmemai": {
      "command": "cogmemai-mcp",
      "env": {
        "COGMEMAI_API_KEY": "cm_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

For local mode (free API key required for registration, data stays local):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cogmemai": {
      "command": "cogmemai-mcp",
      "env": {
        "COGMEMAI_MODE": "local",
        "COGMEMAI_API_KEY": "cm_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option B — Global (available in every project):

# Cloud (default)
claude mcp add cogmemai cogmemai-mcp -e COGMEMAI_API_KEY=cm_your_api_key_here --scope user

# Local (free API key required, data stays local)
claude mcp add cogmemai cogmemai-mcp -e COGMEMAI_API_KEY=cm_your_api_key_here -e COGMEMAI_MODE=local --scope user

# Hybrid (both)
claude mcp add cogmemai cogmemai-mcp -e COGMEMAI_API_KEY=cm_your_api_key_here -e COGMEMAI_MODE=hybrid --scope user

Works With

Claude Code (Recommended)

Automatic setup:

npx cogmemai-mcp setup

Cursor

Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cogmemai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cogmemai-mcp"],
      "env": { "COGMEMAI_API_KEY": "cm_your_api_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cogmemai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cogmemai-mcp"],
      "env": { "COGMEMAI_API_KEY": "cm_your_api_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code)

Open VS Code Settings > Cline > MCP Servers, add:

{
  "cogmemai": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "cogmemai-mcp"],
    "env": { "COGMEMAI_API_KEY": "cm_your_api_key_here" }
  }
}

Continue

Add to `~/.continue/config.yaml`:

mcpServers:
  - name: cogmemai
    command: npx
    args: ["-y", "cogmemai-mcp"]
    env:
      COGMEMAI_API_KEY: cm_your_api_key_here

CogmemUI

CogmemUI is a free multi-model Ai workspace with built-in CogmemAi memory. Add your CogmemAi API key in Settings > API Keys and your memory is instantly available. CogmemUI also supports connecting any MCP-compatible tool server via Settings > MCP Servers — add endpoints, auto-discover tools, and use them in chat.

Tools

CogmemAi provides 35 tools that your Ai assistant uses automatically:

SDKs

Build your own integrations with the CogmemAi API:

• JavaScript/TypeScript: `npm install cogmemai-sdk` — npm · GitHub
• Python: `pip install cogmemai` — PyPI · GitHub

Memory Types

Memories are categorized for better organization and retrieval:

• identity — Who you are, your role, team
• preference — Coding style, tool choices, conventions
• architecture — System design, tech stack, file structure
• decision — Why you chose X over Y
• bug — Known issues, fixes, workarounds
• dependency — Version constraints, package notes
• pattern — Reusable patterns, conventions
• context — General project context
• task — Persistent tasks with status and priority tracking
• correction — Wrong approach → right approach patterns
• reminder — Next-session nudges that auto-expire
• rule — Mandatory directives that surface in every session, bypassing all scoring and decay

Scoping

• Project memories — Architecture, decisions, bugs specific to one repo. Auto-detected from your repository.
• Global memories — Your coding preferences, identity, tool choices. Available in every project.

Pricing

Start free. Upgrade when you need more. Or pay per operation with USDC on-chain — no credit card required.

Privacy & Security

• 🛡️ Quantum-safe encryption at rest. All memories are encrypted with quantum-resistant cryptography — in cloud mode and local mode. Protected against both current threats and future quantum computers.
• No source code leaves your machine. We store extracted facts (short sentences), never raw code.
• API keys cryptographically hashed (irreversible) server-side.
• All traffic over HTTPS.
• No model training on your data. Ever.
• Delete everything instantly via dashboard or MCP tool.
• No cross-user data sharing.
