* fix: cancel async ops on bank delete via CASCADE FK + heartbeat checkpoints - Add migration e5f6g7h8i9j0: FK ON DELETE CASCADE from async_operations and webhooks to banks, so deleting a bank auto-removes all its ops/webhooks - Add _check_op_alive() helper: returns False if op row was deleted (cascade) - Add consolidation checkpoint: after each LLM batch commit, abort early if op was deleted mid-run (returns status='cancelled') - Add retain checkpoint: between sub-batches, abort early if op was deleted - _mark_operation_completed/failed/completed_and_fire_webhook: gracefully handle missing row (UPDATE 0) with log instead of silent error - Thread operation_id into run_consolidation_job() for checkpoint access - Fix y0t1u2v3w4x5 and a1b2c3d4e5f6 migrations: add IF NOT EXISTS to prevent failure on idempotent re-runs - Add 10 tests covering cascade delete, _check_op_alive, graceful mark methods, consolidation checkpoint, and retain checkpoint * refactor: use RETURNING + fetchrow instead of execute + string comparison * fix: add bank upsert before async_operations FK inserts and update tests - memory_engine.py: upsert bank in submit_async_retain before async_operations INSERT - http.py: upsert bank in api_create_webhook before webhooks INSERT - test_worker.py, test_async_batch_retain.py, test_webhooks.py: add _ensure_bank helper calls before direct async_operations/webhooks inserts to satisfy FK constraint * fix: mock bank_utils.get_bank_profile in unit test with mocked pool |

Hindsight API
Memory System for AI Agents — Temporal + Semantic + Entity Memory Architecture using PostgreSQL with pgvector.
Hindsight gives AI agents persistent memory that works like human memory: it stores facts, tracks entities and relationships, handles temporal reasoning ("what happened last spring?"), and forms opinions based on configurable disposition traits.
Installation
pip install hindsight-api
Quick Start
Run the Server
# Set your LLM provider
export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER=openai
export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxx
# Start the server (uses embedded PostgreSQL by default)
hindsight-api
The server starts at http://localhost:8888 with:
- REST API for memory operations
- MCP server at
/mcpfor tool-use integration
Use the Python API
from hindsight_api import MemoryEngine
# Create and initialize the memory engine
memory = MemoryEngine()
await memory.initialize()
# Create a memory bank for your agent
bank = await memory.create_memory_bank(
name="my-assistant",
background="A helpful coding assistant"
)
# Store a memory
await memory.retain(
memory_bank_id=bank.id,
content="The user prefers Python for data science projects"
)
# Recall memories
results = await memory.recall(
memory_bank_id=bank.id,
query="What programming language does the user prefer?"
)
# Reflect with reasoning
response = await memory.reflect(
memory_bank_id=bank.id,
query="Should I recommend Python or R for this ML project?"
)
CLI Options
hindsight-api --help
# Common options
hindsight-api --port 9000 # Custom port (default: 8888)
hindsight-api --host 127.0.0.1 # Bind to localhost only
hindsight-api --workers 4 # Multiple worker processes
hindsight-api --log-level debug # Verbose logging
Configuration
Configure via environment variables:
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL |
PostgreSQL connection string | pg0 (embedded) |
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER |
openai, anthropic, gemini, groq, ollama, lmstudio |
openai |
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY |
API key for LLM provider | - |
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_MODEL |
Model name | gpt-4o-mini |
HINDSIGHT_API_HOST |
Server bind address | 0.0.0.0 |
HINDSIGHT_API_PORT |
Server port | 8888 |
Example with External PostgreSQL
export HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/hindsight
export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER=groq
export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=gsk_xxxxxxxxxxxx
hindsight-api
Docker
docker run --rm -it -p 8888:8888 \
-e HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \
-v $HOME/.hindsight-docker:/home/hindsight/.pg0 \
ghcr.io/vectorize-io/hindsight:latest
MCP Server
For local MCP integration without running the full API server:
hindsight-local-mcp
This runs a stdio-based MCP server that can be used directly with MCP-compatible clients.
Key Features
- Multi-Strategy Retrieval (TEMPR) — Semantic, keyword, graph, and temporal search combined with RRF fusion
- Entity Graph — Automatic entity extraction and relationship tracking
- Temporal Reasoning — Native support for time-based queries
- Disposition Traits — Configurable skepticism, literalism, and empathy influence opinion formation
- Three Memory Types — World facts, bank actions, and formed opinions with confidence scores
