notmemory

Deterministic memory observability for long-lived AI agents.

What is notmemory?

notmemory is an open-source Python SDK that gives AI agents auditable, reversible, GDPR-compliant memory.

Every memory write is cryptographically hash-chained — like Git commits for agent state. Every mistake can be rolled back. Every deletion leaves a forensic trail. Every read is logged.

Built for production AI systems where trust, compliance, and debuggability are non-negotiable.

Why notmemory?

Problem	notmemory solution
Agent hallucinates and corrupts memory	rollback(transaction_id) undoes it
GDPR deletion request	forget(bank_id) tombstones with audit trail
Can't debug what agent remembered	get_audit_trail(cycle_id) forensic replay
Memory grows stale over time	Confidence decay c = c₀ · 2^(-t/30)
Need semantic search too	Mem0 / SuperMemory sync-layer adapters
Want Claude/Cursor to use agent memory	MCP server adapter

---

Features

• Cryptographic audit trail — SHA-256 hash chaining on every write
• Git-like rollback — undo any transaction by ID
• Conflict detection — duplicate detection with health score 0–100
• GDPR tombstoning — compliant deletion with forensic trail
• Full-text search — SQLite FTS5 keyword search
• Confidence decay — exponential half-life c = c₀ · 2^(-t/30)
• LangGraph checkpointer — drop-in replacement for MemorySaver
• LangChain chat history — BaseChatMessageHistory implementation
• Mem0 sidecar — semantic search via Mem0
• SuperMemory sidecar — semantic search via SuperMemory
• MCP server — Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf integration

Quickstart

import asyncio
from notmemory import AgentMemory, MemoryConfig

async def main():
    async with AgentMemory() as memory:

        # Store a memory
        entry = await memory.retain(
            bank_id="facts",
            content={"fact": "The Eiffel Tower is in Paris"},
            source="user",
        )
        print(f"Stored: {entry.id}")

        # Search memory
        result = await memory.recall(
            bank_id="facts",
            query="Eiffel Tower",
        )
        for e in result.entries:
            print(e.content)

        # Rollback a bad write
        await memory.rollback(entry.transaction_id)

        # GDPR delete entire bank
        await memory.forget("facts")

asyncio.run(main())

Core API

AgentMemory

from notmemory import AgentMemory, MemoryConfig

config = MemoryConfig(db_url="sqlite+aiosqlite:///./myagent.db")

async with AgentMemory(config=config) as memory:
    ...

Method	Returns	Description
retain(*, bank_id, content, ...)	MemoryEntry	Store with hash chain
recall(*, bank_id, query, ...)	RecallResult	Keyword / temporal search
rollback(transaction_id)	RollbackResult	Tombstone a transaction
detect_conflicts(*, bank_id)	ConflictReport	Find duplicates, health score
log_cycle_event(*, cycle_id, ...)	CycleEvent	DAG audit event
get_audit_trail(*, cycle_id)	AuditTrail	Forensic reconstruction
verify_integrity(bank_id)	bool	Verify SHA-256 hash chain
forget(bank_id, *, entry_ids)	int	GDPR tombstone

---

Confidence Decay

Memories lose confidence over time using exponential half-life decay: c(t) = c₀ · 2^(-t / half_life_days)

Age	Confidence (from 1.0)
0 days	1.000
30 days	0.500
60 days	0.250
90 days	0.125

from notmemory.memory.decay import decayed_confidence, filter_fresh

# Current decayed score
score = decayed_confidence(entry, half_life_days=30.0)

# Filter stale entries out, sort fresh ones by score
fresh = filter_fresh(entries, half_life_days=30.0, deprecation_threshold=0.05)

Adapters

LangChain / LangGraph

from notmemory.adapters.langchain import (
    NotMemoryCheckpointer,
    NotMemoryChatHistory,
)

# Drop-in for MemorySaver — adds hash-chained audit trail
checkpointer = NotMemoryCheckpointer()
graph = builder.compile(checkpointer=checkpointer)

async with checkpointer:
    result = await graph.ainvoke(inputs, config)

# Chat history with GDPR tombstoning
history = NotMemoryChatHistory(session_id="user-42")
async with history:
    await history.aadd_messages(messages)
    msgs = await history.aget_messages()

Mem0

from notmemory.adapters.mem0 import NotMemoryMem0Adapter
import os

adapter = NotMemoryMem0Adapter(
    mem0_api_key=os.environ["MEM0_API_KEY"],
    user_id="agent-1",
)
async with adapter:
    # Writes to SQLite + mirrors to Mem0
    await adapter.retain(bank_id="facts", content={"fact": "..."})

    # Keyword search (SQLite)
    result = await adapter.recall(bank_id="facts", query="Paris")

    # Semantic search (Mem0)
    results = await adapter.semantic_recall("European capitals")

SuperMemory

from notmemory.adapters.supermemory import NotMemorySuperMemoryAdapter
import os

adapter = NotMemorySuperMemoryAdapter(
    api_key=os.environ["SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY"],
    user_id="agent-1",
)
async with adapter:
    await adapter.retain(bank_id="facts", content={"fact": "..."})
    results = await adapter.semantic_recall("European capitals")

MCP Server (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf)

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notmemory": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "notmemory.adapters.mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NOTMEMORY_DB_URL": "sqlite+aiosqlite:///./notmemory.db"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available tools: notmemory_retain, notmemory_recall, notmemory_rollback, notmemory_forget, notmemory_health
