python-memory-mcp-server

MCP.Pizza Chef: evangstav

The python-memory-mcp-server is an MCP server that implements a knowledge graph in memory, designed to manage entities, relations, and observations with strict validation rules. It ensures data consistency by enforcing naming conventions and type constraints on entities such as persons, concepts, projects, documents, tools, organizations, locations, and events. This server is ideal for applications requiring structured, validated context storage and retrieval in real-time, supporting complex reasoning and interaction workflows within the Model Context Protocol ecosystem. Installation is straightforward, and it integrates seamlessly with platforms like Claude Desktop.

Usage

The server provides tools for managing a knowledge graph:

Get Entity

result = await session.call_tool("get_entity", {
    "entity_name": "example"
})
if not result.success:
    if result.error_type == "NOT_FOUND":
        print(f"Entity not found: {result.error}")
    elif result.error_type == "VALIDATION_ERROR":
        print(f"Invalid input: {result.error}")
    else:
        print(f"Error: {result.error}")
else:
    entity = result.data
    print(f"Found entity: {entity}")

Get Graph

result = await session.call_tool("get_graph", {})
if result.success:
    graph = result.data
    print(f"Graph data: {graph}")
else:
    print(f"Error retrieving graph: {result.error}")

Create Entities

# Valid entity creation
entities = [
    Entity(
        name="python-project",  # Lowercase with hyphens
        entityType="project",   # Must be a valid type
        observations=["Started development on 2024-01-29"]
    ),
    Entity(
        name="john-doe",
        entityType="person",
        observations=["Software engineer", "Joined team in 2024"]
    )
]
result = await session.call_tool("create_entities", {
    "entities": entities
})
if not result.success:
    if result.error_type == "VALIDATION_ERROR":
        print(f"Invalid entity data: {result.error}")
    else:
        print(f"Error creating entities: {result.error}")

Add Observation

# Valid observation
result = await session.call_tool("add_observation", {
    "entity": "python-project",
    "observation": "Completed initial prototype"  # Must be unique for entity
})
if not result.success:
    if result.error_type == "NOT_FOUND":
        print(f"Entity not found: {result.error}")
    elif result.error_type == "VALIDATION_ERROR":
        print(f"Invalid observation: {result.error}")
    else:
        print(f"Error adding observation: {result.error}")

Create Relation

# Valid relation
result = await session.call_tool("create_relation", {
    "from_entity": "john-doe",
    "to_entity": "python-project",
    "relation_type": "created"  # Must be a valid type
})
if not result.success:
    if result.error_type == "NOT_FOUND":
        print(f"Entity not found: {result.error}")
    elif result.error_type == "VALIDATION_ERROR":
        print(f"Invalid relation data: {result.error}")
    else:
        print(f"Error creating relation: {result.error}")

Search Memory

result = await session.call_tool("search_memory", {
    "query": "most recent workout"  # Supports natural language queries
})
if result.success:
    if result.error_type == "NO_RESULTS":
        print(f"No results found: {result.error}")
    else:
        results = result.data
        print(f"Search results: {results}")

The search functionality supports:

  • Temporal queries (e.g., "most recent", "last", "latest")
  • Activity queries (e.g., "workout", "exercise")
  • General entity searches
  • Fuzzy matching with 80% similarity threshold

Flush Memory

result = await session.call_tool("flush_memory", {})
if not result.success:
    print(f"Error flushing memory: {result.error}")

Error Types

The server uses the following error types:

  • NOT_FOUND: Entity or resource not found
  • VALIDATION_ERROR: Invalid input data
  • INTERNAL_ERROR: Server-side error
  • ALREADY_EXISTS: Resource already exists
  • INVALID_RELATION: Invalid relation between entities

    error_type: Optional[str] = None

GraphResponse

class GraphResponse(BaseModel):
    success: bool
    data: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None
    error: Optional[str] = None
    error_type: Optional[str] = None

OperationResponse

class OperationResponse(BaseModel):

    error: Optional[str] = None
    error_type: Optional[str] = None
