AI Agent Database Memory

AI coding agents forget your database schema every session. beads (14 hours old): Dolt-powered version-controlled SQL memory. Memori BYODB. Never re-explain your schema again.

14 Hours Old Dolt-Powered Schema Memory

The Database Memory Problem

AI coding agents that work with databases face a specific memory challenge:

Every new session = re-describing the database schema
Migrations get applied without understanding of previous schema decisions
Foreign key relationships, indexes, constraints — forgotten between sessions
No awareness of which migration scripts have been run
Claude Code can inspect database structure — but only during active sessions

beads — Dolt-Powered Version-Controlled SQL Memory (14 hours ago!)

"Beads: A memory upgrade for your coding agent. Dolt-Powered: Version-controlled SQL database with cell-level merge, native branching, and built-in sync via Dolt remotes. Agent-Optimized: JSON output for easy LLM parsing. Your agent remembers every schema change." — gastownhall/beads on GitHub, 14 hours ago

beads is the newest entry in AI agent memory — released just 14 hours ago. It uses Dolt (version-controlled SQL) to give coding agents persistent, version-aware database memory.

Why agent-memory Compliments Database Memory

beads handles SQL schema memory. agent-memory handles everything else — project architecture, API decisions, code patterns, tool usage. Together:

beads — remembers every SQL schema change, every migration, every table relationship
agent-memory — remembers project architecture, decisions, code patterns
AES-256 encryption — database credentials and schema stay encrypted
TTL auto-expiration — stale schema references auto-clean
MCP v3.2 native — works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, OpenHands

# Install agent-memory
pip install agent-memory

# Run MCP server for general project memory
python -m agent_memory.mcp_server \
  --storage json \
  --path ./project-memory.json

# Use beads for SQL schema memory
# Use agent-memory for everything else
# Combined: your AI agent remembers everything
