Overview
Claude-Mem captures tool-usage observations through Claude Code lifecycle hooks, summarizes them, and stores them in a local SQLite database with Chroma for hybrid semantic and keyword search. Past context is injected into new sessions, and agents can query it through three MCP tools (search, timeline, get_observations) that filter an index before fetching full details. It also installs for OpenCode, T3 Code, Antigravity CLI, OMP, Pi, DeepSeek Harness and OpenClaw.
Who it is for: Claude Code users who want context carried across sessions
Strengths
- Local SQLite plus Chroma storage; worker exposes an HTTP API and web viewer
- Three-step MCP search (index, timeline, details) claims ~10x token savings
- One-command installer covers Claude Code, OpenCode, T3 Code, Pi, OpenClaw and others
- Privacy tags exclude marked content from storage; Apache-2.0 license
Weaknesses
- Default installer prompts for claude-mem account sign-in; opt-out needs a flag or env var
- Free trial of hosted observer; afterwards memory uses your Anthropic plan unless you subscribe
- Needs Node 20+, Bun and uv, auto-installed if missing
- npm install -g claude-mem gives the SDK only, not the plugin hooks
What it needs
- no GPU
- Docker + Compose
- Needs Node.js >=20, Bun, uv, SQLite, Chroma
- Models: Anthropic plan, OpenRouter, Gemini, claude-mem observer
