remind
Remind (remind-mcp) is a generalized long-term memory layer for LLM-driven agents. It ingests “episodes” of experiences, consolidates them into generalized “concepts” (with confidence/conditions/exceptions), maintains an entity/knowledge graph, and supports semantic/graph-based retrieval. It can be used via a local CLI/skills workflow with a project database, or via an MCP server for IDE/desktop agents, which also exposes a web UI and a small REST API.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
The provided README indicates local installation and local database storage, plus an MCP server with SSE and a REST API under /api/v1. It does not describe TLS, authn/authz, or scope controls for the MCP/REST endpoints, so network exposure could be risky if not limited to localhost. Secrets for upstream providers are placed in a local config file; there is no explicit documentation about redaction/logging safety (except a mention of optional debug logging to remind.log). Dependencies include filelock/fastmcp/uvicorn/starlette, but no CVE status is provided.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You want agent-friendly, persistent memory for a single project or local workspace, and you benefit from consolidation/generalization beyond basic RAG.
Avoid When
You need a fully specified, externally-hosted managed service with strong enterprise security guarantees and documented operational SLAs.
Use Cases
- • Long-term project memory for coding agents (decisions, specs, plans, outcome tracking)
- • Consolidating conversation logs into reusable generalized knowledge
- • IDE agent memory via MCP (Cursor/Claude Desktop) with a central local server
- • Entity-centric retrieval (files/functions/people/tools) and relationship exploration
- • Task tracking tied to memory items (plans/specs/dependencies)
- • Offline/local workflows using Ollama
Not For
- • High-scale, multi-tenant production memory services without self-hosting/ops
- • Strict compliance environments that require explicit audited controls not shown in the provided docs
- • Use cases needing a public cloud-hosted API with managed uptime/SLA
Interface
Authentication
The provided README shows API key configuration for upstream model providers, but does not describe authentication/authorization for the MCP server or REST API endpoints (it appears to be local by default).
Pricing
Open-source tooling; costs depend on underlying LLM/embedding provider usage.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Consolidation/ingestion may be asynchronous (background/background workers are mentioned), so agents may need to wait for processing completion before expecting updated recall results.
- ⚠ Local server defaults imply no built-in network authentication; expose carefully if binding beyond localhost.
- ⚠ LLM provider API keys are configured locally; missing/invalid keys will block consolidation/ingestion.
