Governed local memory for AI agents: facts are retired, not overwritten, and every call is audited.

Tools
This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.
Environment variables
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
AL_BUDDY_MEMORY_DBOptional | The SQLite memory file. A leading ~ is expanded. |
AL_BUDDY_MEMORY_OWNEROptional | Whose memory this is; the owner's policy applies to every call. |
AL_BUDDY_MEMORY_AUDITOptional | Optional JSONL file for the audit chain instead of the database's own table. One writing process per file. |
AL_BUDDY_MEMORY_AUDIT_KEYOptional, secret | Optional HMAC key for the audit chain. Keep it away from the trail. |
AL_BUDDY_MEMORY_SEMANTICOptional | Set to off for keyword-only recall; the on-device embedding model is then never downloaded. |
AL_BUDDY_MEMORY_MODEL_CACHEOptional | Where the on-device embedding model (about 90 MB, downloaded once) is kept. |
AL_BUDDY_MEMORY_INDEX_LIMITOptional | Most facts embedded in the background per start (0 skips it). |
