What is the Ori-memory MCP Server?

Ori Mnemos is an MCP project maintained in the aayoawoyemi/ori-mnemos repository. The maintainer describes its purpose as “Ori implements human cognition as mathematical models on a knowledge graph. Activation decay from ACT-R. Spreading activation along wiki-link edges. Hebbian co-occurrence from retrieval patterns…”. Read the project documentation for the complete scope.

Local setup

The project provides a local client configuration using ori. Follow the repository’s build and installation steps before copying it, and replace example paths with the paths on your own computer.

Configuration values

The example declares ORI_VAULT. Secret-looking values have been replaced with placeholders. Required and optional labels are shown only when the documentation states them.
