🦞 Enhanced OpenClaw with MemOS Plugin

• 72% lower token usage – intelligent memory retrieval instead of loading full chat history
• Multi-agent memory sharing – multi-instance agents share memory via same user_id. Automatic context handoff.

🦞 Your lobster now has a working memory system.

📌 MemOS: Memory Operating System for AI Agents

MemOS is a Memory Operating System for LLMs and AI agents that unifies store / retrieve / manage for long-term memory, enabling context-aware and personalized interactions with KB, multi-modal, tool memory, and enterprise-grade optimizations built in.

Key Features

• Unified Memory API: A single API to add, retrieve, edit, and delete memory—structured as a graph, inspectable and editable by design, not a black-box embedding store.
• Multi-Modal Memory: Natively supports text, images, tool traces, and personas, retrieved and reasoned together in one memory system.
• Multi-Cube Knowledge Base Management: Manage multiple knowledge bases as composable memory cubes, enabling isolation, controlled sharing, and dynamic composition across users, projects, and agents.
• Asynchronous Ingestion via MemScheduler: Run memory operations asynchronously with millisecond-level latency for production stability under high concurrency.
• Memory Feedback & Correction: Refine memory with natural-language feedback—correcting, supplementing, or replacing existing memories over time.

News

🖥️ 2、Self-Hosted (Local/Private)

1. Get the repository.

    git clone https://github.com/MemTensor/MemOS.git
    cd MemOS
    pip install -r ./docker/requirements.txt

2. Configure docker/.env.example and copy to MemOS/.env

• The OPENAI_API_KEY,MOS_EMBEDDER_API_KEY,MEMRADER_API_KEY and others can be applied for through BaiLian.
• Fill in the corresponding configuration in the MemOS/.env file.

3. Start the service.

• Launch via Docker

###### Tips: Please ensure that Docker Compose is installed successfully and that you have navigated to the docker directory (via cd docker) before executing the following command.

  # Enter docker directory
  docker compose up

##### For detailed steps, see theDocker Reference.

• Launch via the uvicorn command line interface (CLI)

###### Tips: Please ensure that Neo4j and Qdrant are running before executing the following command.

  cd src
  uvicorn memos.api.server_api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8001 --workers 1

##### For detailed integration steps, see the CLI Reference.

Basic Usage (Self-Hosted)

• Add User Message

    import requests
    import json
    
    data = {
        "user_id": "8736b16e-1d20-4163-980b-a5063c3facdc",
        "mem_cube_id": "b32d0977-435d-4828-a86f-4f47f8b55bca",
        "messages": [
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "I like strawberry"
            }
        ],
        "async_mode": "sync"
    }
    headers = {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    url = "http://localhost:8000/product/add"
    
    res = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))
    print(f"result: {res.json()}")

• Search User Memory

    import requests
    import json
    
    data = {
        "query": "What do I like",
        "user_id": "8736b16e-1d20-4163-980b-a5063c3facdc",
        "mem_cube_id": "b32d0977-435d-4828-a86f-4f47f8b55bca"
    }
    headers = {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    url = "http://localhost:8000/product/search"
    
    res = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))
    print(f"result: {res.json()}")
