MegaMemory

Persistent project knowledge graph for coding agents.

---

An MCP server that lets your coding agent build and query a graph of concepts, architecture, and decisions — so it remembers across sessions.

The LLM is the indexer. No AST parsing. No static analysis. Your agent reads code, writes concepts in its own words, and queries them before future tasks. The graph stores concepts — features, modules, patterns, decisions — not code symbols.

The Loop

understand → work → update

1. Session start — agent calls list_roots to orient itself
2. Before a task — agent calls understand with a natural language query
3. After a task — agent calls create_concept or update_concept to record what it built

Everything persists in a per-project SQLite database at .megamemory/knowledge.db.

Installation

npm install -g megamemory

Note

Requires Node.js >= 18. The embedding model (~23MB) downloads automatically on first use.

Quick Start

megamemory install

Interactive installer — choose your editor:

With opencode

megamemory install --target opencode

One command configures everything:

• MCP server in ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
• Workflow instructions in ~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md
• Skill tool plugin at ~/.config/opencode/tool/megamemory.ts
• Bootstrap command /user:bootstrap-memory for initial graph population
• Save command /user:save-memory to persist session knowledge

Restart opencode after running install.

With Claude Code

megamemory install --target claudecode

Configures:

• MCP server in ~/.claude.json
• Workflow instructions in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md
• Commands in ~/.claude/commands/

With Antigravity

megamemory install --target antigravity

Configures:

• MCP server in ./mcp_config.json (workspace-level)

With other MCP clients

Add megamemory as a stdio MCP server. The command is just megamemory (no arguments). It reads/writes .megamemory/knowledge.db relative to the working directory, or set MEGAMEMORY_DB_PATH to override.

{
  "megamemory": {
    "type": "local",
    "command": ["megamemory"],
    "enabled": true
  }
}

MCP Tools

Tool	Description
understand	Semantic search over the knowledge graph. Returns matched concepts with children, edges, and parent context.
create_concept	Add a new concept with optional edges and file references.
update_concept	Update fields on an existing concept. Regenerates embeddings automatically.
link	Create a typed relationship between two concepts.
remove_concept	Soft-delete a concept with a reason. History preserved.
list_roots	List all top-level concepts with direct children.
list_conflicts	List unresolved merge conflicts grouped by merge group.
resolve_conflict	Resolve a merge conflict by providing verified, correct content based on the current codebase.

Concept kinds: feature · module · pattern · config · decision · component

Relationship types: connects_to · depends_on · implements · calls · configured_by

Knowledge Graph

---

Web Explorer

Visualize the knowledge graph in your browser:

megamemory serve

• Nodes colored by kind, sized by edge count
• Dashed edges for parent-child, solid for relationships
• Click-to-inspect detail panel with summary, files, and edges
• Search with highlight/dim filtering
• Interactive port selection if default (4321) is taken

megamemory serve --port 8080   # custom port

---

CLI

Command	Description
megamemory	Start the MCP stdio server
megamemory install	Configure editor/agent integration
megamemory serve	Launch the web graph explorer
megamemory merge	Merge two knowledge.db files
megamemory conflicts	List unresolved merge conflicts
megamemory resolve	Resolve a merge conflict
megamemory --help	Show help
megamemory --version	Show version

---

Merging Knowledge Graphs

When multiple git branches diverge, each may modify .megamemory/knowledge.db independently. Since SQLite files can't be auto-merged by git, megamemory provides a dedicated merge system.

Merge two databases

megamemory merge main.db feature.db --into merged.db

The merge compares concepts by ID. Identical concepts are deduplicated. Concepts with the same ID but different content are flagged as conflicts — both versions are kept with ::left/::right suffixed IDs and a shared merge group UUID. Use --left-label and --right-label to tag versions with branch names instead of the defaults.

megamemory merge main.db feature.db --into merged.db --left-label main --right-label feature-xyz

View conflicts

megamemory conflicts            # human-readable summary
megamemory conflicts --json     # machine-readable output
megamemory conflicts --db path  # specify database path

Resolve conflicts manually

megamemory resolve <merge-group-uuid> --keep left    # keep the left version
megamemory resolve <merge-group-uuid> --keep right   # keep the right version
megamemory resolve <merge-group-uuid> --keep both    # keep both as separate concepts

AI-assisted resolution

When an AI agent runs /merge, it:

1. Calls list_conflicts to get all unresolved conflict groups
2. For each conflict, reads both versions and the actual source files referenced in file_refs
3. Verifies what the code actually does now and writes the correct resolved content
4. Calls resolve_conflict with resolved: {summary, why?, file_refs?} and a reason explaining what was verified

The agent does NOT just pick a side — it reads the code and writes the truth. The resolved object provides the correct summary, rationale, and file references based on the current codebase state.

How It Works

src/
  index.ts       CLI entry + MCP server (8 tools)
  tools.ts       Tool handlers (understand, create, update, link, remove, list_conflicts, resolve_conflict)
  db.ts          SQLite persistence (libsql, WAL mode, schema v2)
  embeddings.ts  In-process embeddings (all-MiniLM-L6-v2, 384 dims)
  merge.ts       Two-way merge engine for knowledge.db files
  merge-cli.ts   CLI handlers for merge, conflicts, resolve commands
  types.ts       TypeScript types
  cli-utils.ts   Colored output + interactive prompts
  install.ts     multi-target installer (opencode, Claude Code, Antigravity)
  web.ts         HTTP server for graph explorer
plugin/
  megamemory.ts  Opencode skill tool plugin
commands/
  bootstrap-memory.md  /user command for initial population
  save-memory.md       /user command to save session knowledge

  index.html     Single-file graph visualization (Cytoscape.js)

• Embeddings — In-process via Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (ONNX, quantized). No API keys. No network calls after first model download.
• Storage — SQLite with WAL mode, soft-delete with history, schema migrations (currently v2).
• Search — Brute-force cosine similarity over all node embeddings. Fast enough for knowledge graphs with <10k nodes.
• Merge — Two-way merge with conflict detection. Concepts compared by ID; conflicts get suffixed IDs and shared merge group UUIDs. AI-assisted resolution via MCP tools.
