What is lians_memory?

A memory connection for an AI assistant using the Model Context Protocol, a standard way for assistants to call external tools. It provides tools to save information and retrieve it later, and requires an API key to run.

Use it when an assistant needs to remember facts with `remember` and retrieve them with `recall`. It is configured through the listed environment variables and API key.

It gives the assistant a separate place to store and recall information instead of relying only on the current conversation. The connection is optional and only exposes the listed memory actions.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Lians-ai/Lians

Security

Grade A, and why

lians_memory scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
