AMP – open-source memory server for AI agents (MCP, SQLite, D3.js)

Hi HN, I’m Akshay. I built AMP because I was tired of my AI agents having "amnesia" the moment I closed the terminal. Like many of you, I use Claude/Cursor daily. RAG is great for searching documentation, but it’s terrible for continuity. It chunks text blindly, losing the narrative. When I asked my agent "Why did we decide to use FastAPI last week?", it would hallucinate or just give me generic pros/cons because the specific context of our decision was lost in a vector soup. So I decided to build a proper *Hippocampus* for my agents. *What is it?* AMP is a local-first memory…

What it does

AMP: The Agent Memory Protocol — Open source, MCP-native memory server for AI agents. Give your LLMs a hippocampus. - akshayaggarwal99/amp

I was tired of building AI agents that forgot everything the moment I closed the terminal. RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) is great for documents, but terrible for experience . It chunks text blindly, losing the narrative. When I asked my agents "Why did we decide this yesterday?", they gave me hallucinated nonsense. So I built AMP . It's not just a database; it's a Hippocampus for your agents. It mimics the human brain's distinction between Working Memory (Short-term context) and episodic Long-Term Memory , giving your agents a continuous, evolving sense of self. Don't just guess what your agent knows. See it. AMP comes with a local dashboard. Watch memories form constellations in…from github.com

    This is a project that I have been building for a while now, YourMemory is a solution to agentic memory which focuses on pruning of noise rather than hoarding of data. In the current state of agentic memory most of the context is stored in the form of a MD file or is derived through a RAG model where you store each and everything. Both of the solution leads to bloated context which does not optimize the usage of any tokens. In this system we only keep relevant data in our memory and prune all the unnecessary data. The relevance of a data is derived through multiple factors such as recall…

    Hi Hacker News, This is definitely out of my comfort zone. I just wanted to show you guys because I'm super proud of it. It's a 100% faithful recreation based off of the schematics, patents, and ROMs that were found online. So please watch the video and tell me what you think https://youtu.be/auOlZXI1VxA The reason why I think this is relevant is because I've been a programmer for 25 years and AI scares the shit out of me. I'm not a programmer anymore. I'm something else now. I don't know what it is but it's multi-disciplinary, and it doesn't involve writing code myself--for…

    I keep running in the same problem of each AI app “remembers” me in its own silo. ChatGPT knows my project details, Cursor forgets them, Claude starts from zero… so I end up re-explaining myself dozens of times a day across these apps. The deeper problem 1. Not portable – context is vendor-locked; nothing travels across tools. 2. Not relational – most memory systems store only the latest fact (“sticky notes”) with no history or provenance. 3. Not yours – your AI memory is sensitive first-party data, yet you have no control over where it lives or how it’s queried. Demo video:…

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
