OpenClaw

Give your OpenClaw / ClawHub agents access to HydraMem's verified local memory and knowledge graph.

Prerequisites

  • HydraMem on $PATH (hydramem --version).
  • OpenClaw installed.

Connect (MCP)

Add HydraMem as an MCP server via the CLI:

openclaw mcp set hydramem '{"command":"hydramem","args":["serve","--transport","stdio"]}'
Or edit the config directly 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hydramem": {
      "command": "hydramem",
      "args": ["serve", "--transport", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

How it works

Once connected, OpenClaw agents get all 18 tools plus HydraMem's memory protocol. Encourage the agent (via its system prompt / skill) to:

  1. Never guess — query hydra_search_tool or graph_only_search_tool before confidently answering questions about past work.
  2. Persist decisions — call remember when something is decided, so it survives across sessions (verified before storage).
  3. Grow the graph — create_relation / delete_relation to curate facts.

This pairs autonomous code execution with persistent, high-recall, local memory.
