StartenA production-grade persistent memory service for AI agents. Agents forget everything between sessions by default — memex fixes that. It stores, retrieves, and ranks conversation memory using semantic search with recency decay, so agents surface what's relevant and recent, not just what's semantically closest.
POST /v1/memories → store a memory, embed it, persist to Postgres
POST /v1/memories/search → retrieve top-k memories ranked by similarity + recency
DELETE /v1/memories/{id} → forget a specific memory
GET /v1/memories/count → how many memories does this agent/user have
GET /health → liveness + DB connectivity check
GET /metrics → Prometheus metrics

Write path: content → fastembed ONNX inference (local, ~12 ms CPU, BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5) → INSERT with 384-dim vector → return memory ID.
Read path: query → embed → pgvector cosine search (top_k × 3 candidates) → re-rank with recency decay in Python → return top_k results with scores.
Pure vector similarity returns the most semantically similar memories, not the most useful ones. A fact from 90 days ago that's a 0.95 similarity match is often less useful than a 0.80 match from yesterday.
Score formula:
score = α × cosine_similarity + (1 − α) × exp(−λ × age_days)
Where λ = ln(2) / half_life_days (default: 30 days, so a 30-day-old memory has 50% recency weight).
α is configurable per request (default 0.7). Task-focused agents use higher α (semantic dominates). Conversational agents use lower α (recency matters more).
The pgvector query returns top_k × 3 candidates sorted by pure similarity. Python re-ranks with the decay formula and slices to top_k. This prevents recency decay from starving high-similarity older memories — they're still in the candidate pool.
At 10× scale (>1M memories per agent): push the scoring into a Postgres function using pg_proc to eliminate the Python re-ranking round-trip.
SQLAlchemy adds ORM overhead on every query. The hot retrieval path — embed, query, re-rank — needs to be tight. asyncpg gives direct control over pool min/max (same instinct as tuning HikariCP in Java). pgvector queries require raw SQL for the <=> operator anyway.
Pool defaults: min=5, max=20. Right-size for a single-instance deployment. Override via DB_MAX_POOL_SIZE env var.
Sliding window counter via upsert. One fewer dependency. Correct under concurrent requests (transactional upsert). At 10× scale with distributed deployments: replace with Redis INCR + EXPIRE — atomic operations, no lock contention.
ivfflat has lower build cost and lower memory footprint — the right tradeoff at small-to-medium scale (<1M vectors). lists=100 works well up to ~1M rows. At 10× scale: switch to HNSW (m=16, ef_construction=64) for better recall at the cost of higher memory and build time.
Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose. No API keys required — the entire stack runs locally.

Run on a MacBook M-series, Docker Desktop, single Postgres instance:
locust -f scripts/load_test.py --host=http://localhost:8000 \
--headless -u 50 -r 10 -t 60s
Realistic load (50 users, 100–300 ms think time — models actual agent traffic):
Saturation test (500 users, minimal think time — finds the throughput ceiling):
Run on MacBook M-series, Docker Desktop (4 CPUs), 4 uvicorn workers, 16 threads/worker.
Embeddings: local ONNX (BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5) — zero external API calls, zero cost.
Why the ceiling is ~120 RPS:
Every write and every search requires one ONNX inference (~10–15 ms on CPU). With 4 Docker CPUs: 4 cores / 12 ms ≈ 333 embeddings/s theoretical max. After Python overhead, DB queries, and asyncio scheduling: ~120 RPS actual.

docker compose up starts Prometheus and Grafana alongside the API:
The Grafana dashboard is provisioned automatically. Panels:

memex exposes itself as an MCP server so any MCP-aware agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, custom agents) can store and retrieve memories without custom HTTP integration.
Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP 2024-11-05 spec). Single-worker process on port 8001 — session state is in-process, so a separate service avoids sticky-session complexity while keeping the REST API's multi-worker throughput.
Tools:
Add to ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"memex": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "http://localhost:8001/mcp/"
}
}
}
claude mcp add --transport http memex http://localhost:8001/mcp/
The MCP Streamable HTTP transport is session-stateful — initialize, tools/list, and tools/call must all reach the same server process. The REST API runs 4 uvicorn workers with round-robin routing; routing different MCP requests to different workers breaks session state.
Running a dedicated single-worker MCP service on port 8001 avoids sticky-session infrastructure (nginx ip_hash, Redis session store) while keeping the REST API fully multi-worker.
Runs as a background asyncio task on a configurable interval (default: every 5 minutes). Finds any (agent_id, user_id) pair where episodic memory count exceeds a threshold, condenses the oldest batch into a single semantic memory, then deletes the originals. Fully local — no LLM API calls.
How it summarises: Pure Python extractive algorithm. Sentences are deduplicated by Jaccard similarity (≥ 0.7 threshold), scored by word frequency (TF), and the top-N are returned in original order. ~1 ms per summarisation, zero dependencies beyond the standard library.
Why episodic-only: Episodic memories are conversation events with natural time-based obsolescence. Semantic and procedural memories encode facts and skills — silently condensing them risks precision loss; they age out via recency decay instead.
Concurrency safety: Uses pg_try_advisory_xact_lock keyed on hashtext(agent_id|user_id). The lock is held only during the DB write transaction, not during the embedding call.
