LycheeMem is a lightweight long-term memory framework for LLM agents, combining working session context, a compact semantic memory store (SQLite FTS5 + LanceDB), and a procedural skill layer with HyDE retrieval. It integrates via a Python API, an HTTP MCP server, and native plugins for OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Hermes.

Use cases

  • give my llm agent long-term memory
  • remember conversations across chatbot sessions
  • add persistent memory to claude code
  • store and retrieve reusable skills for ai agents
  • run an mcp memory server
  • semantic memory store without neo4j
  • compress conversation history for agents

When to choose

  • you need lightweight long-term memory for LLM agents without heavy infrastructure like Neo4j
  • you want MCP or plugin integration with agent runtimes like OpenClaw or Claude Code
  • you want both semantic knowledge and procedural skill memory in one framework

When to avoid

  • you need a fully managed or hosted memory service
  • you require graph-based memory with complex entity relations
  • your stack is not Python-based and you cannot use MCP
