VibeGit🤌: Auto-trace your prompts, context & code diffs.

MemoV is a memory layer for AI coding agents that provides traceable, Git-powered version control for prompts, context, and code diffs. It enables VibeGit - automatic versioning of AI coding sessions with branch exploration, rollback capabilities, and zero pollution to the standard .git repository.

| MemoV | Checkpoints | |-------|-------------| | Branch exploration | Linear timeline | | Cross-session | Session-bound | | Rollback preserves all | Rollback erases history | | Every jump tracked | No trajectory |

Features

• One-click MCP: Works with any AI coding agent
• VibeGit for Agents: Auto-trace prompts, context, and code diffs before git commits
• Version Control: Branch, rollback, replay any interaction
• Keep Git Clean: Shadow .mem timeline, files as context, zero pollution on .git
• Visual UI: Say "mem ui" in chat, and view at http://localhost:38888
• Private-first — Local, no database, no overhead. Use .memignore to exclude

Quick Start (MCP Installation)

Prerequisites

Install uv first:

# macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

# Install Git (if not installed)
winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget

Claude Code

Run in your project root directory:

claude mcp add mem-mcp --scope project -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/memovai/memov.git mem-mcp-launcher stdio $(pwd)

Codex

Run in your project root directory:

codex mcp add mem-mcp -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/memovai/memov.git mem-mcp-launcher stdio $(pwd)

VS Code

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "servers": {
    "mem-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/memovai/memov.git",
        "mem-mcp-launcher",
        "stdio",
        "${workspaceFolder}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Go to Files > Preferences > Cursor Settings > MCP, then add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mem-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/memovai/memov.git",
        "mem-mcp-launcher",
        "stdio",
        "${workspaceFolder}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Antigravity

> Note: Antigravity does not support "${workspaceFolder}" variable. Please manually enter the absolute path to your project directory.

Go to Settings > MCP, then add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mem-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/memovai/memov.git",
        "mem-mcp-launcher",
        "stdio",
        "/absolute/path/to/your/project"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace /absolute/path/to/your/project with the actual absolute path to your project directory (e.g., /Users/username/projects/my-project on macOS/Linux or C:\\Users\\username\\projects\\my-project on Windows).

With VectorDB (RAG mode) 🚧 WIP

To enable semantic search, validation, and debugging tools, install with [rag] extras:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add mem-mcp --scope project -- uvx --from "git+https://github.com/memovai/memov.git[rag]" mem-mcp-launcher stdio $(pwd)

VS Code / Cursor: Change the --from argument to:

"git+https://github.com/memovai/memov.git[rag]"

Important Tips

Add a Rule — To automatically save snapshots after each interaction, add a rule to your coding agents:

• Cursor: Cursor Settings > Rules
• Claude Code: CLAUDE.md
• Or the equivalent in your MCP client

Example rule:

After completing any interaction, always call `use mem snap` to save the snapshot.

Web UI, Just Say Use mem ui🤌

Just say "use mem ui" in the chat — opens at http://localhost:38888 with timeline view, branch filtering, diff viewer, and jump to any snapshot.

CLI Installation (Optional)

If you want to use the mem CLI tool directly (for manual tracking, history viewing, etc.):
