SmartMemory
An MCP server that gives LLMs structured, verifiable memory by storing facts in a knowledge graph and enabling logic-based reasoning through natural dialogue.

[!CAUTION] Proof of Concept. SmartMemory is an experimental implementation of a neuro-symbolic architecture, built to explore how LLMs can interact with knowledge graphs to learn and apply rules. It is not intended for production use — treat it as a research and learning playground.
<!-- TODO: add a short GIF of the dashboard + knowledge graph here. A screenshot is worth a thousand commits on a PoC. -->
Why SmartMemory?
LLMs are brilliant talkers with no real memory. Across a conversation they forget, they can't explain why they concluded something, and they happily state things that were never verified.
SmartMemory adds the missing half: a symbolic brain.
- Facts you state are stored in an auditable knowledge graph (RDF), each with its provenance.
- Logic is captured as explicit, inspectable rules (SPARQL/OWL) — not hidden in weights.
- New conclusions are derived, traceable, and reversible — and ambiguous ones are sent back to you for validation.
The result is an assistant that doesn't just sound right — it can show its reasoning.
What it can do
SmartMemory turns your AI assistant into a domain expert that supports:
- Asynchronous reasoning — deductions run in the background (
InferenceManager) without slowing the conversation. - Uncertainty handling — ambiguous facts trigger a human-in-the-loop validation workflow.
- Smart NLP extraction — handles complex sentences, coreferences, and direct Turtle notation.
- Provenance & audit — every stored fact keeps its origin (UUID, source, timestamp).
- Dynamic rule engine — learns and applies new SPARQL rules on the fly.

The LLM is the language cortex (understanding and extraction); the knowledge graph and rule engine are the symbolic memory (storage, logic, proof). Neither alone is enough — together they are neuro-symbolic.
Two ways to use it
| 💬 Conversational Mode — the "Brain" | 🏗️ Supervision Mode — the "Factory" | |
|---|---|---|
| For | Individuals using an LLM client (Claude Desktop, etc.) | Teams, developers, heavy users |
| Goal | Let your assistant remember facts and learn logic as you chat | Extract thousands of rules from documents (PDFs) and visualize the graph |
| How | Configure it as an MCP server | Deploy the full dashboard via Docker |

Mode 1 — Conversational Setup (MCP)
Gives your LLM long-term memory and logical deduction.
Option A — Docker (recommended) 🐳
No Python required. The image is published on GitHub Container Registry.
Claude Desktop — edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"smart-memory": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "--rm", "-i", "ghcr.io/mauriceisrael/smart-memory:latest"]
}
}
}
The same block works for any MCP client (e.g. Cline) — just point it at your client's mcp_settings.json. Restart the client and you're done. ✅
Option B — Local server (from source) 🔒
Best for developers and privacy-conscious users.
git clone https://github.com/MauriceIsrael/SmartMemory
cd SmartMemory
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
Then point Claude Desktop at your local install:
{
"mcpServers": {
"smartmemory": {
"command": "/absolute/path/to/SmartMemory/venv/bin/python",
"args": ["-m", "smart_memory.server"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude and try: "I know Bob. He goes to work by car. Can he vote?" — see the demo below.
Mode 2 — Supervision Setup (Docker)
Runs the web dashboard and API server — ideal for visualizing the knowledge graph, extracting rules from PDFs, and hosting a shared memory for a team.
# Dashboard mode — example with Mistral
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
-e LLM_PROVIDER=mistral \
-e LLM_MODEL=mistral-large-latest \
-e LLM_API_KEY=your-api-key \
-v $(pwd)/brain:/app/data \
ghcr.io/mauriceisrael/smart-memory:latest dashboard
# Dashboard mode — example with a local model (Ollama)
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
-e LLM_PROVIDER=ollama \
-e LLM_MODEL=llama3 \
-e LLM_BASE_URL=http://172.17.0.1:11434 \
-v $(pwd)/brain:/app/data \
ghcr.io/mauriceisrael/smart-memory:latest dashboard
Add
dashboardto start the web server; without it the container starts in MCP mode. The-vvolume persists your knowledge graph and rules. Open the dashboard athttp://localhost:8080.
LLM configuration
SmartMemory uses an LLM to extract facts and rules from natural language and documents. Configure it via the dashboard Admin page or via environment variables (-e LLM_PROVIDER=…).
| Provider | Example models | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mistral | mistral-large-latest, mistral-small-latest |
European, La Plateforme API |
| Ollama (local, free) | llama3, qwen2.5-coder, mistral |
Runs offline |
| OpenAI | gpt-4, gpt-3.5-turbo |
|
| Anthropic | claude-3-5-sonnet |
|
gemini-1.5-pro |
Extracting rules from documents
- Upload a PDF (e.g.
Company_Policy.pdf). - Pick a provider — the server needs an API key (or a local Ollama) to read the document.
- Review & approve — the system proposes rules; you accept them in bulk from the dashboard.
Interactive demo — from facts to rules
What happens in Conversational Mode:
> I know Bob
LLM: ✦ I've recorded the fact: I know Bob.
> He goes to work by car
LLM: ✦ Noted: Bob goes to work by car.
> Can Bob vote?
LLM: ✦ I can't conclude yet — but since he drives, he is likely an adult.
May I add the rule "Drivers are adults"?
> yes
LLM: ✨ Rule 'drivers_are_adults' added.
May I also add "Adults can vote"?
> yes
LLM: ✨ Rule 'adults_can_vote' added.
✦ Therefore, yes — Bob can vote. (derived from 2 rules)
Every step is stored, attributed, and replayable — that's the point.
