Historical — not hosted production

This guide documents the removed Python/Neo4j era. Agent Memory Labs hosted prod uses Rust am-server-rs, Ladybug, and SpacetimeDB. For the current path, start with the hosted quickstart.

Self-Hosted Legacy

Historical instructions for running the Python + Neo4j stack on your own infrastructure.

Architecture (historical)

The legacy self-hosted stack consisted of:

Neo4j — graph database with vector search
am-server — FastAPI backend for REST and MCP surfaces
agentic-memory CLI — local ingestion and stdio MCP server

1. Install dependencies

git clone https://github.com/jarmen423/agentic-memory.git
cd agentic-memory
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

2. Start Neo4j

docker-compose up -d neo4j

3. Configure environment

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Neo4j credentials and API keys

4. Start am-server

python -m am_server.server

The server started on http://127.0.0.1:8765 by default.

5. Verify health

curl http://127.0.0.1:8765/health
