supermemory

---

Supermemory is the memory and context layer for AI. #1 on LongMemEval, LoCoMo, and ConvoMem — the three major benchmarks for AI memory.

We are a research lab building the engine, plugins and tools around it.

Your AI forgets everything between conversations. Supermemory fixes that.

It automatically learns from conversations, extracts facts, builds user profiles, handles knowledge updates and contradictions, forgets expired information, and delivers the right context at the right time. Full RAG, connectors, file processing — the entire context stack, one system.

🧠 Memory	Extracts facts from conversations. Handles temporal changes, contradictions, and automatic forgetting.
👤 User Profiles	Auto-maintained user context — stable facts + recent activity. One call, ~50ms.
🔍 Hybrid Search	RAG + Memory in a single query. Knowledge base docs and personalized context together.
🔌 Connectors	Google Drive · Gmail · Notion · OneDrive · GitHub — auto-sync with real-time webhooks.
📄 Multi-modal Extractors	PDFs, images (OCR), videos (transcription), code (AST-aware chunking). Upload and it works.

All of this is in our single memory structure and ontology.

What your AI gets

Tool	What it does
memory	Save or forget information. Your AI calls this automatically when you share something worth remembering.
recall	Search memories by query. Returns relevant memories + your user profile summary.
context	Injects your full profile (preferences, recent activity) into the conversation at start. In Cursor and Claude Code, just type /context.

How it works

Once installed, Supermemory runs in the background:

1. You talk to your AI normally. Share preferences, mention projects, discuss problems.
2. Supermemory extracts and stores the important stuff. Facts, preferences, project context — not noise.
3. Next conversation, your AI already knows you. It recalls what you're working on, how you like things, what you discussed before.

Memory is scoped with projects (container tags) so you can separate work and personal context, or organize by client, repo, or anything else.

Supported clients

Claude Desktop · Cursor · Windsurf · VS Code · Claude Code · OpenCode · OpenClaw · Hermes

The MCP server is open source — view the source.

Manual configuration

Add this to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supermemory": {
      "url": "https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Build with Supermemory (API)

If you're building AI agents or apps, Supermemory gives you the entire context stack through one API — memory, RAG, user profiles, connectors, and file processing.

Install

npm install supermemory    # or: pip install supermemory

Quickstart

import Supermemory from "supermemory";

const client = new Supermemory();

// Store a conversation
await client.add({
  content: "User loves TypeScript and prefers functional patterns",
  containerTag: "user_123",
});

// Get user profile + relevant memories in one call
const { profile, searchResults } = await client.profile({
  containerTag: "user_123",
  q: "What programming style does the user prefer?",
});

// profile.static  → ["Loves TypeScript", "Prefers functional patterns"]
// profile.dynamic → ["Working on API integration"]
// searchResults   → Relevant memories ranked by similarity

from supermemory import Supermemory

client = Supermemory()

client.add(
    content="User loves TypeScript and prefers functional patterns",
    container_tag="user_123"
)

result = client.profile(container_tag="user_123", q="programming style")

print(result.profile.static)   # Long-term facts
print(result.profile.dynamic)  # Recent context

Supermemory automatically extracts memories, builds user profiles, and returns relevant context. No embedding pipelines, no vector DB config, no chunking strategies.

Framework integrations

Drop-in wrappers for every major AI framework:

// Vercel AI SDK
import { withSupermemory } from "@supermemory/tools/ai-sdk";
const model = withSupermemory(openai("gpt-4o"), { containerTag: "user_123", customId: "conv-1" });

// Mastra
import { withSupermemory } from "@supermemory/tools/mastra";
const agent = new Agent(withSupermemory(config, "user-123", { mode: "full" }));

Vercel AI SDK · LangChain · LangGraph · OpenAI Agents SDK · Mastra · Agno · Claude Memory Tool · n8n

Search modes

// Hybrid (default) — RAG + Memory in one query
const results = await client.search({
  q: "how do I deploy?",
  containerTag: "user_123",
  searchMode: "hybrid",
});
// Returns deployment docs (RAG) + user's deploy preferences (Memory)

// Memories only
const results = await client.search({
  q: "user preferences",
  containerTag: "user_123",
  searchMode: "memories",
});

User profiles

Traditional memory relies on search — you need to know what to ask for. Supermemory automatically maintains a profile for every user:

const { profile } = await client.profile({ containerTag: "user_123" });

// profile.static  → ["Senior engineer at Acme", "Prefers dark mode", "Uses Vim"]
// profile.dynamic → ["Working on auth migration", "Debugging rate limits"]

One call. ~50ms. Inject into your system prompt and your agent instantly knows who it's talking to.

Connectors

Auto-sync external data into your knowledge base:

Google Drive · Gmail · Notion · OneDrive · GitHub · Web Crawler

Real-time webhooks. Documents automatically processed, chunked, and searchable.

API at a glance

Method	Purpose
client.add()	Store content — text, conversations, URLs, HTML
client.profile()	User profile + optional search in one call
client.search()	Hybrid search across memories and documents (searchMode)
client.search.documents()	Document search with metadata filters (legacy v3 response shape)
client.documents.uploadFile()	Upload PDFs, images, videos, code
client.documents.list()	List and filter documents
client.settings.update()	Configure memory extraction and chunking

Supermemory local — run it yourself

State-of-the-art memory, on your machine. One binary. Zero config.

curl -fsSL https://supermemory.ai/install | bash
# or
npx supermemory local

supermemory-server

First boot sets up the embedded Supermemory graph engine, local embeddings, and your credentials, then prints an API key. The full Memory API — documents, memories, user profiles, hybrid search — runs against http://localhost:6767.

const client = new Supermemory({
  apiKey: "sm_...",
  baseURL: "http://localhost:6767", // that's the only change
});

• Bring any model — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. An interactive wizard walks you through it on first boot.
• Embeddings — local Xenova/bge-base-en-v1.5 by default (no API key); optionally OpenAI, Gemini, or Ollama. Same provider stack as cloud.
• Offline text memories if you want — point it at Ollama (gpt-oss:20b works great), disable telemetry with SUPERMEMORY_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1, and use local text or file inputs after the first embedding-model download. URL ingestion uses a hosted reader service.
• Your data, one directory — everything lives in ~/.supermemory, easy to back up or move.
• Same API as the platform — prototype locally, ship on the hosted platform by changing baseURL.

Run with Docker

Prebuilt images support Linux amd64 and arm64. You don’t need to build or clone the server source.

For a new installation, run these commands in an empty directory and set your own LLM provider key:

release_url=https://github.com/supermemoryai/supermemory/releases
curl -fL "$release_url/download/server-v0.0.9/compose.yaml" -o compose.yaml
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
export SUPERMEMORY_VERSION=0.0.9
docker compose up -d --wait --wait-timeout 180

The API listens on http://localhost:6767. Data and credentials persist in the supermemory_supermemory-data volume. Get your local API key with docker compose exec supermemory cat /data/api-key; requests require it even on localhost.

Read the Docker setup and upgrade instructions for persistent provider configuration, backups and upgrades. Keep the existing volume and keys when upgrading; don’t run docker compose down -v.

Read the self-hosting docs — quickstart, configuration, embeddings, and local vs. Enterprise.

Benchmarks

Supermemory is state of the art across all major AI memory benchmarks:

Benchmark	What it measures	Result
LongMemEval	Long-term memory across sessions with knowledge updates	#1
LoCoMo	Fact recall across extended conversations (single-hop, multi-hop, temporal, adversarial)	#1
ConvoMem	Personalization and preference learning	#1

On LongMemEval, supermemory reaches 95% Recall@15 while adding only ~720 tokens of context — a 99.4% context reduction (99.6% at @10, 99.8% at @5). Recall by category: Knowledge Updates 99%, Assistant recall 100%, User recall 97%, Multi-session 93%, Temporal Reasoning 91%, Preference 90%.

We also built the Supermemory Filesystem (SMFS), which uses 3.0× fewer tokens on Claude (24M vs 72M) and 1.75× fewer on Codex across the 110-question xAFS benchmark. See the full write-ups on our research page.

We also built MemoryBench — an open-source framework for standardized, reproducible benchmarks of memory providers. Compare Supermemory, Mem0, Zep, and others head-to-head:

bun run src/index.ts run -p supermemory -b longmemeval -j gpt-4o -r my-run

Benchmarking your own memory solution

We provide an Agent skill for companies to benchmark their own context and memory solutions against supermemory.

How memory works under the hood

Your app / AI tool
        ↓
   Supermemory
        │
        ├── Memory Engine     Extracts facts, tracks updates, resolves contradictions,
        │                     auto-forgets expired info
        ├── User Profiles     Static facts + dynamic context built from engine, always fresh
        ├── Hybrid Search     RAG + Memory in one query
        ├── Connectors        Real-time sync from Google Drive, Gmail, Notion, GitHub...
        └── File Processing   PDFs, images, videos, code → searchable chunks

Memory is not RAG. RAG retrieves document chunks — stateless, same results for everyone. Memory extracts and tracks facts about users over time. It understands that "I just moved to SF" supersedes "I live in NYC." Supermemory runs both together by default, so you get knowledge base retrieval and personalized context in every query. Read more about this here - https://supermemory.ai/docs/concepts/memory-vs-rag

Automatic forgetting. Supermemory knows when memories become irrelevant. Temporary facts ("I have an exam tomorrow") expire after the date passes. Contradictions are resolved automatically. Noise never becomes permanent memory.
