Best for
  • Claude Code users who want their agent to stop repeating mistakes
  • Developers who want honest measurement of memory effectiveness
  • Privacy-conscious users requiring local storage
  • Teams adopting structured memory layers (episodic, semantic, procedural, etc.)
  • Biomedical researchers
  • Clinicians
  • AI agents that need efficient access to biomedical literature and data analysis
Not for
  • Scenarios requiring real-time or high-throughput memory retrieval
  • Users wanting fully automatic memory management without manual session loop
  • Projects needing cloud sync or multi-user collaboration
  • Users requiring advanced retrieval performance like BM25 indexing
  • Users needing to write to upstream databases (read-only)
  • Users requiring direct access to closed datasets (e.g., COSMIC is not directly integrated)
  • Users expecting all advanced features without API keys
Required permissions
  • Read and write local filesystem (default path ~/.agent-recall/)
  • Execute local commands (e.g., CLI tools)
  • Optional: OpenAI API usage if OPENAI_API_KEY is set for vector search
  • Optional: Supabase mirror for remote sync
  • Requires internet access to query public biomedical APIs
  • Optional API keys (NCBI, Semantic Scholar, OpenFDA, etc.) to improve rate limits or unlock features
  • Local read/write access for skills, cache, and local study data (e.g., `~/.local/share/biomcp`)
Risks and side effects
  • Memory content may contain sensitive information; ensure access control despite local storage
  • The measurement instrument may produce misleading data (e.g., defaulted to "heeded" bias); interpret cautiously
  • The automatic session loop requires user compliance with session start/end protocols; otherwise memory may be incomplete
  • Experimental components (e.g., dream consolidation, recurrence harness) may be unstable
  • Dependency on npm package execution poses supply-chain risk (verify source)
  • Upstream API rate limits may affect performance
  • Some data sources (e.g., KEGG) have licensing terms that restrict non-academic use
  • Features requiring API keys (e.g., OncoKB) may be incomplete without them
  • Local binary installations need regular updates for compatibility
