A persistent memory server that implements a local knowledge graph using Kuzu

Knowledge Graph Memory Server

A basic implementation of persistent memory using a local knowledge graph powered by Kuzu embedded graph database.

Core Concepts

Entities

Entities are the primary nodes in the knowledge graph. Each entity has:

  • A unique name (identifier)
  • An entity type (e.g., "person", "organization", "event")
  • A list of observations

Example:

{
  "name": "John_Smith",
  "entityType": "person",
  "observations": ["Speaks fluent Spanish"]
}

Relations

Relations define directed connections between entities. They are always stored in active voice and describe how entities interact or relate to each other.

Example:

{
  "from": "John_Smith",
  "to": "Anthropic",
  "relationType": "works_at"
}

Observations

Observations are discrete pieces of information about an entity. They are:

  • Stored as strings
  • Attached to specific entities
  • Can be added or removed independently
  • Should be atomic (one fact per observation)

Example:

{
  "entityName": "John_Smith",
  "observations": ["Speaks fluent Spanish", "Graduated in 2019", "Prefers morning meetings"]
}

Tags

Tags provide a flexible way to categorize and organize entities and observations. They enable:

  • Cross-cutting classification of entities and observations
  • Easy filtering and discovery of related information
  • Hierarchical organization with optional categories
  • Metadata storage with descriptions

Example:

{
  "name": "high-priority",
  "category": "priority",
  "description": "Items requiring immediate attention"
}

Tags can be applied to:

  • Entities: For categorizing people, projects, concepts, etc.
  • Observations: For marking specific facts with metadata like confidence, source, or relevance

API

Tools

  • create_entities

    • Create multiple new entities in the knowledge graph
    • Input: entities (array of objects)
      • Each object contains:
        • name (string): Entity identifier
        • entityType (string): Type classification
        • observations (string[]): Associated observations
    • Ignores entities with existing names
  • create_relations

    • Create multiple new relations between entities
    • Input: relations (array of objects)
      • Each object contains:
        • from (string): Source entity name
        • to (string): Target entity name
        • relationType (string): Relationship type in active voice
    • Skips duplicate relations
  • add_observations

    • Add new observations to existing entities
    • Input: observations (array of objects)
      • Each object contains:
        • entityName (string): Target entity
        • contents (string[]): New observations to add
    • Returns added observations per entity
    • Fails if entity doesn't exist
  • delete_entities

    • Remove entities and their relations
    • Input: entityNames (string[])
    • Cascading deletion of associated relations
    • Silent operation if entity doesn't exist
  • delete_observations

    • Remove specific observations from entities
    • Input: deletions (array of objects)
      • Each object contains:
        • entityName (string): Target entity
        • observations (string[]): Observations to remove
    • Silent operation if observation doesn't exist
  • delete_relations

    • Remove specific relations from the graph
    • Input: relations (array of objects)
      • Each object contains:
        • from (string): Source entity name

    • No input required
    • Returns complete graph structure with all entities and relations
  • search_nodes

    • Search for nodes based on query
    • Input: query (string)
    • Searches across:
      • Entity names
      • Entity types
      • Observation content
    • Returns matching entities and their relations
  • open_nodes

    • Retrieve specific nodes by name
    • Input: names (string[])
    • Returns:
      • Requested entities
      • Relations between requested entities
    • Silently skips non-existent nodes
  • tag_entity

    • Add tags to entities
    • Input: entityName (string), tagNames (string[])
    • Creates tags if they don't exist
    • Returns array of successfully added tags
  • tag_observation

    • Add tags to specific observations
    • Input: entityName (string), observationContent (string), tagNames (string[])
    • Creates tags if they don't exist
    • Returns array of successfully added tags
  • get_entities_by_tag

    • Find entities with a specific tag
    • Input: tagName (string)
    • Returns entities and their relations that have the specified tag
  • get_all_tags

    • List all available tags
    • No input required
    • Returns all tags with their categories and descriptions
  • get_tag_usage

    • Get usage statistics for tags
    • No input required

Try it

Create an entity for 'Project Alpha' with the type 'project' and add an observation that it is currently in the planning phase.
Create a relation between 'John_Smith' and 'Project Alpha' with the type 'leads'.
Search for all nodes related to 'planning' to see what projects are currently active.
Tag the 'Project Alpha' entity with 'high-priority'.
List all tags currently used in the knowledge graph to see how information is organized.
