OpenMemory – Make your MCP clients more context-aware

Hey HN, we’re launching OpenMemory (https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/tree/main/openmemory), an open source tool that lets you run a personal, portable memory layer for LLMs. Fully self-hosted and under your control. It uses standard MCP protocol and plugs into any MCP client (like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, etc.) over Server-Sent Events (SSE). https://mem0.ai/blog/how-to-make-your-clients-more-context-a... is a complete tutorial that shows how to set it up locally, the underlying components involved, complete overview of architecture and…

  • An MCP server that gives LLMs temporal awareness and time calculation2025 · github.com · ▲91

    This is an open‑source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives any LLM a sense of the passage of time. Most MCP demos wire LLMs to external data stores. That’s useful, but MCP is also a chance to give models perception — extra senses beyond the prompt text. Six functions (`current_datetime`, `time_difference`, `timestamp_context`, etc.) give Claude&#x2F;GPT real temporal awareness: It can spot pauses, reason about rhythms, and even label a chat’s “three‑act structure”. Runs locally in <60 s (Python) or via a hosted demo. If time works, what else could we surface? - Location &#x2F;…

    Hey HN! We're Taranjeet and Deshraj, the founders of Mem0 (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mem0.ai). Mem0 adds a stateful memory layer to AI applications, allowing them to remember user interactions, preferences, and context over time. This enables AI apps to deliver increasingly personalized and intelligent experiences that evolve with every interaction. There’s a demo video at https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;VtRuBCTZL1o and a playground to try out at https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.mem0.ai&#x2F;playground. You'll need to sign up to use the playground – this helps ensure responses are more tailored to you by…

  • WhatsApp MCP Server2025 · github.com · ▲229

    Hi HN – I built an open-source, self-hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WhatsApp: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lharries&#x2F;whatsapp-mcp It connects to your personal WhatsApp account via the WhatsApp Web multi-device API (using whatsmeow from the Beeper team), and doesn't rely on third-party APIs. All messages are stored locally in SQLite. Nothing is sent to the cloud unless you explicitly allow your LLM to access the data via tools – so you maintain full control and privacy. The MCP server can: - Search your messages, contacts, and groups - Send WhatsApp messages to…

  • Core – open source memory graph for LLMs – shareable, user owned2025 · github.com · ▲112

    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:…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
