Hippocampus 0.3.0: English and Portuguese end to end

Choose a tag to compare

@marcelinollima marcelinollima released this 29 Sep 16:27

Hippocampus now speaks English and Portuguese end to end, not only in the web UI.

Added

  • HIPPOCAMPUS_LANG (en | pt): default MCP instructions, tool replies and the
    context block injected into Claude in the chosen language.
  • /api/search accepts lang, so each client can ask for its own language.
  • Claude Code installer --lang: recall header and extracted memories in that language.
  • Web UI: EN/PT button; the choice is remembered in the browser.

Fixed

  • Recall hook on Windows: output is UTF-8, so accents no longer arrive as "�".

Documentation

  • README: a real example of the context block Claude receives, a comparison with
    vector-only memory, screenshots of search results and of a memory's links, and a
    list of known limitations.

Unchanged on purpose

  • Tool names, statuses, types and API fields are the same in every language.

Upgrading

Pull and reinstall (pip install ., or docker compose up -d --build). Re-run
python clients/claude-code/install.py ... with --lang pt if you want the
Portuguese recall header. Existing memories need no migration.

Full changelog: v0.2.0...v0.3.0

Hippocampus 0.2.0: run it on your own computer

@marcelinollima marcelinollima released this 28 Sep 01:00

Running Hippocampus on your own computer is now a first-class option:

pip install .
hippocampus init        # data folder + token in ~/.hippocampus
hippocampus autostart   # starts now and at every login, no admin rights
python clients/claude-code/install.py --url http://127.0.0.1:8765

Also new: docker-compose.local.yml for Docker without a domain, and a CI job that runs the whole local install on Windows and macOS. The default data folder moved to ~/.hippocampus/data; Docker and systemd installs are unaffected. Full list in the CHANGELOG.

Hippocampus 0.1.1

Fixes found while migrating a real 361-memory installation: vector search window sized in memories (a key memory could drop out of results on large indexes), import no longer duplicates a memory synced under a different file name, and the web UI zooms to fit. See CHANGELOG.

@marcelinollima marcelinollima released this 28 Sep 00:21

First public release of Hippocampus: self-hosted long-term memory for Claude Code.

Highlights

  • MCP server (streamable HTTP) with search, read, save, mark and pending-list tools
  • Hybrid search: BM25 + local multilingual embeddings (RRF) + one hop over hand-written [[links]]
  • Memory status (active · pending · resolved · superseded) with dated notes
  • Claude Code hooks: automatic recall on every prompt, background sync, end-of-session extraction
  • Constellation web UI (English / Português)
  • Docker Compose + Caddy (automatic HTTPS), or systemd

See the README to get started and docs/design.md for the reasoning behind each choice.
