acm-memory

Consented, local, auditable autobiographical memory for your AI assistant.

acm-memory is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives any MCP-capable assistant — Claude Desktop is the primary target — durable memory of the facts you choose to store. Tell your assistant where you keep the spare key today, and it still knows next month, in a new conversation, after a restart.

What makes it different

• Nothing is stored without your explicit confirmation. Every proposed memory is shown to you verbatim first — in Claude Desktop, as an interactive consent card. A statement that smells like an instruction rather than a fact is refused at commit time even after you say yes.
• Remembers how you like to be answered. Tell it your preferred tone, wording, or format, and it keeps each as an auditable, consented preference: shown verbatim, then stored as a normalized "prefers ..." line rather than a standing instruction planted in memory. Preferences on different style axes (tone, format, verbosity, vocabulary, language, examples) coexist; a newer preference on the same axis replaces the earlier one on that axis.
• Corrections supersede; history stays visible. When a fact changes, the old value is marked superseded, never silently overwritten — and you can ask to see the full history, or exactly what the model was shown, at any time.
• Forget means forget. Forgetting a fact tombstones its entire history through every rebuild, with a receipt. It cannot come back.
• Local by construction. Facts live on your machine. The only model acm-memory itself ever calls is a local judge (gemma4:12b via Ollama on loopback). No telemetry, no cloud calls of its own, no background capture — an MCP server only ever sees explicit tool calls.
• Auditable. A consent journal records every confirmation, denial, and forget — including how consent arrived (card click vs. model-relayed). Every read is access-logged per client.

Requirements

• Windows 10/11 (first tester round), 16 GB RAM minimum; a GPU with 8 GB+ VRAM is recommended (CPU-only works, slower).
• Ollama with the gemma4:12b model (~7.2 GB one-time download — acm-doctor --pull handles it).
• An MCP host (Claude Desktop recommended; consent cards render there).

Install

uv tool install acm-memory
acm-doctor --pull

Then register the server in your MCP host. For Claude Desktop, add to claude_desktop_config.json (use the absolute path to the installed shim, e.g. %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin\acm-memory-mcp.exe on Windows):

{ "mcpServers": { "acm-memory": { "command": "<absolute path to acm-memory-mcp>", "args": [] } } }

acm-doctor verifies the install end to end (doctor=PASS). Memory lives in ~/.acm/memory (override with ACM_WORKSPACE).

Status

Evaluation release for testers. The memory behavior behind this package was qualified against a measured production baseline (2,209/2,210 across twelve scenario arms) with a pinned local judge. Feedback via the in-chat report_issue tool.
