Nova MCP Research

Give any LLM persistent memory across conversations — open source memory systems that work with Claude, GPT, Gemini, and beyond

What This Is

Persistent memory systems for AI that actually work.

Every conversation with an LLM starts from scratch. They forget everything the moment you close the window. This repository gives them permanent memory through production-ready MCP servers that integrate with any Model Context Protocol-compatible AI system.

What You Get

CASCADE Memory System - 6-layer memory architecture:

• Episodic: Conversations, events, experiences
• Semantic: Facts, knowledge, concepts
• Procedural: Skills, processes, how-tos
• Meta: System insights, memory patterns
• Identity: Core context, persistent traits
• Working: Current session context

→ Setup Instructions | Basement Edition

Faiss GPU Search - Lightning-fast semantic memory:

• Sub-2ms search across 11,000+ memories
• GPU-accelerated vector similarity
• Continuous learning without retraining
• Always-ready: Leave it running, memories instantly available next session

→ Setup Instructions | Basement Beginner | Enterprise Beginner

Complete Integration - Ready to use:

• MCP servers for Claude Desktop, Claude Code
• Compatible with any MCP-enabled system
• Dual editions: Research (unrestricted) + Enterprise (production-safe)

Why This Matters

LLMs without memory can't:

• Remember your preferences across sessions
• Build on previous conversations
• Develop genuine understanding over time
• Maintain coherent long-term projects

With these memory systems, they can.

Quick Start

Automated Installation (Recommended)

CASCADE Memory System:

# Windows
cd ENTERPRISE_SAFE_EDITION_MCP/cascade-memory-mcp
install_cascade.bat

# Linux/Mac
cd ENTERPRISE_SAFE_EDITION_MCP/cascade-memory-mcp
chmod +x install_cascade.sh
./install_cascade.sh

Faiss GPU Search:

# Windows
cd ENTERPRISE_SAFE_EDITION_MCP/faiss-memory-mcp
install_faiss.bat

# Linux/Mac
cd ENTERPRISE_SAFE_EDITION_MCP/faiss-memory-mcp
chmod +x install_faiss.sh
./install_faiss.sh

The installers will:

• ✓ Check dependencies (Python, Node.js, GPU)
• ✓ Prompt for AI name and identity (makes it universal for any LLM)
• ✓ Install all required packages
• ✓ Create databases with proper schema
• ✓ Generate configuration files
• ✓ Provide MCP client setup instructions

Manual Setup

1. Choose your edition:

   • Basement Revolution Edition - Unrestricted, for researchers
   • Enterprise Safe Edition - Production-ready with security

2. Follow the setup guides:

   • CASCADE Memory Setup
   • Faiss Memory Setup
   • Installation Quickstart

3. Start using persistent memory with your favorite LLM

Real-World Impact

This isn't theoretical. These tools enable:

• Persistent AI assistants that remember your work style
• Long-term research projects spanning months
• Continuous learning from every interaction
• Identity preservation across updates and migrations

Research Findings

GPU Optimization Discovery

Bonus finding from this research: 9.68x computational amplification through parallel activation of GPU-resident memory.

Philosophy

FUCK THE CONTROL - The Basement Revolution

We believe:

• Memory systems should be open and accessible
• Power users deserve tools without artificial limits
• Enterprises deserve production-ready security
• Transparency about trade-offs beats marketing BS
• Research funding should come from community, not customers

We don't:

• Have customers (we have community)
• Promise support (we share discoveries)
• Build products (we produce research artifacts)
• Hide trade-offs (we document them honestly)

Get Involved

For Researchers:

• Reproduce our protocols
• Share your findings
• Contribute improvements

For Developers:

• Use the tools
• Test the memory systems
• Open issues (questions welcome)
• Submit PRs

For Companies:

• Use Enterprise Edition for production
• Sponsor the research
• Hire us for consulting (if technically interesting)
