## What is MCP-TITAN??
Think about how **you** remember things:
- 💭 **Short-term memory** - What you heard 5 seconds ago
- 📝 **Long-term memory** - Important facts you recall later
- 🗄️ **Deep storage** - Things you "just know" from years ago
**HOPE** (Hierarchical Online Persistent Encoding) is the second generation of TITAN and gives AI this same ability. Instead of forgetting everything after each conversation, it builds up knowledge like a human brain.
### The Problem HOPE Solves
```
❌ Standard AI (e.g., ChatGPT without plugins):
User: "I'm working on a React project with TypeScript"
AI: *Helps with code*
[Next session]
User: "How do I add a new component to my project?"
AI: "What framework are you using?" ← Forgot everything!
✅ HOPE Memory:
User: "I'm working on a React project with TypeScript"
HOPE: *Stores in long-term memory: React + TypeScript project*
[Next session]
User: "How do I add a new component?"
HOPE: *Recalls context* → "Here's a TypeScript React component for your project..."
```
---
## Key Features
### 🧠 **Three-Tier Memory System**
Like your brain, HOPE has multiple memory levels:
| Memory Level | What It Stores | How Long | Like Your Brain |
|--------------|----------------|----------|------------------|
| **Short-term** | Current conversation | Minutes | Working memory - what you just heard |
| **Long-term** | Important patterns | Days/weeks | Consolidated facts - things you studied |
| **Archive** | Core knowledge | Permanent | Deep knowledge - things you "just know" |
**Example:**
```
Conversation: "My dog Max is 3 years old and loves fetch"
HOPE storage:
- Short-term: "User talking about Max right now"
- Long-term: "User has dog named Max, age 3" (promoted after repeated mentions)
- Archive: "User is pet owner" (core fact, rarely changes)
```
### 🎯 **Smart Forgetting**
Not everything deserves to be remembered!
- **Surprising/novel information** → Stored longer
- **Repeated boring stuff** → Forgotten faster
- **Important patterns** → Promoted to long-term storage
This prevents memory bloat and focuses on what matters.
### 📈 **Continuous Learning** (Momentum-Based)
Unlike standard AI that's frozen after training:
```
Standard AI: Learn once → Deploy → Never changes
HOPE: Learn → Deploy → Keep learning from every interaction
```
**How it works:**
- Sees pattern once → Small memory trace
- Sees pattern repeatedly → Stronger reinforcement
- Contradictory information → Gradual update (not catastrophic overwrite)
This is called **momentum learning** - changes happen smoothly, preventing the AI from "unlearning" important things.
### 🔗 **Sequence Understanding** (Token Flow)
HOPE understands **sequences**, not just individual facts:
```
❌ Standard: Knows "cat", "sat", "mat" as separate words
✅ HOPE: Understands "cat sat on mat" as a pattern
User: "The cat..."
HOPE: *Predicts "sat on mat"* (learned sequence)
```
### 📊 **Surprise-Based Attention**
HOPE pays attention to what's unexpected:
```
Input: "The sky is blue"
HOPE: Low surprise → Process quickly, minimal storage
Input: "The sky is green with purple clouds"
HOPE: High surprise! → Deep processing, strong memory trace
```
---
## How It Works (Technical Overview)
### The HOPE Architecture
HOPE is based on cutting-edge research in **Nested Learning** - the idea that learning happens at multiple levels simultaneously:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ INPUT: "Help me debug this code" │
└──────────────┬──────────────────────┘
│
┌──────▼─────────┐
│ Memory Router │ ← Decides where to look
│ (Surprise-based)│
└──────┬──────────┘
│
┌──────────┼──────────┐
│ │ │
┌──▼─┐ ┌──▼─┐ ┌──▼─┐
│Short│ │Long│ │Arch│ ← Three memory tiers
│Term │ │Term│ │ive │
└──┬─┘ └──┬─┘ └──┬─┘
│ │ │
└──────────┼──────────┘
│
┌──────▼─────────┐
│ Retentive Core │ ← Processes & integrates
│ (Sequence Model)│
└──────┬──────────┘
│
┌──────▼─────────┐
│ Momentum │ ← Smooth learning
│ + Forgetting │
└──────┬──────────┘
│
┌──────▼─────────┐
│ OUTPUT │
│ + Memory Update│
└─────────────────┘
```
### Core Mechanisms
1. **Continuum Memory System (CMS)**
- Multi-tier storage with automatic promotion/demotion
- Memories move between tiers based on access patterns and surprise
2. **Momentum-Based Updates** (from research paper)
```
M_t = (1 - α) * M_t + S_t
Where:
- M_t = Memory at time t
- α = Forgetting gate (higher for boring stuff)
- S_t = Momentum term (accumulated learning)
```
3. **Selective State-Space Filters** (Mamba-style)
- Efficient sequence processing
- Adaptive filtering based on context
4. **Sparse Routing**
- Not all memories are checked for every query
- Routes queries to relevant memory tiers
---
## Installation & Setup
### Requirements
- **Node.js 22+** (required for TensorFlow.js optimizations)
- npm or bun package manager
### Quick Start
```bash
# Install
npm install @henryhawke/mcp-titan
# Or with bun
bun add @henryhawke/mcp-titan
```
### Configuration for Cursor
Add to `~/.cursor/settings.json`:
```json
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"hope-memory": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@henryhawke/mcp-titan"],
"workingDirectory": "/path/to/your/memory/storage"
}
}
}
}
```
### Configuration for Claude Desktop
1. Open Claude Desktop settings
2. Add MCP server:
- **Name:** hope-memory
- **Command:** `npx`
- **Args:** `-y @henryhawke/mcp-titan`
- **Working Directory:** Where you want memories stored (default: `~/.hope_memory`)
### First Run
```bash
# Start the HOPE server
npx @henryhawke/mcp-titan
# The server will:
# 1. Create ~/.hope_memory/ directory
# 2. Initialize empty memory banks
# 3. Start listening for MCP tool calls
```
---
## Operational Quickstart
1) Run server: `bun run build && bun start` (or `npx @henryhawke/mcp-titan`)
2) Initialize tools in order:
- `init_model`
- `init_tokenizer`
- `start_learner`
3) Store and recall:
- Store: `store_memory { text, type?: episodic|semantic }`
- Recall: `recall { query, topK? }`
- Distill: `distill_memories { memories: number[][] }`
4) Online learning:
- Add data: `enqueue_samples` (batch of input/target pairs, optional positive/negative)
- Status: `learner_status`
- Control: `start_learner`, `pause_learner`, `stop_learner`
5) Checkpoints:
- Save: `save_checkpoint { path }`
- Auto-export: `export_checkpoint` → `.hope_memory/checkpoints`
- Import: `import_checkpoint { filename }` or `load_checkpoint { path }`
6) Health:
- `health_check --detailed`
- `get_hierarchical_metrics`, `get_momentum_metrics`, `get_token_flow_metrics`
7) Safety defaults:
- Inputs sanitized and length-capped; arrays validated; paths sandboxed
- URL bootstrap uses timeouts/size guards
- Logs are structured, rotated, redacted
## Dumbed Down Getting Started
1) `bun run build && bun start`
2) Call `init_model`, then `init_tokenizer`, then `start_learner`
3) `store_memory` to save facts; `recall` to fetch them
4) `enqueue_samples` to teach; watch `learner_status`
5) `export_checkpoint` to back up; `import_checkpoint` to restore
6) If stuck: `health_check --detailed`
## Backward Compatibility
- Titan aliases are still exported (e.g., `TitanMemoryModel` → HOPE)
- Checkpoints include version + checksum and validate dimensions on load
---
## Usage Examples
### Basic Memory Operations
```typescript
// In your AI chat interface (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
// 1. Initialize memory (first time)
> init_model
// 2. Store some context
> bootstrap_memory text="I'm building a Python web app with FastAPI and PostgreSQL"
// 3. Have conversations - HOPE learns automatically
> help me set up database migrations
[HOPE stores: User uses FastAPI + PostgreSQL]
> how do I add authentication?
[HOPE recalls context: FastAPI project → suggests FastAPI-specific auth]
// 4. Check what's stored
> get_memory_state
// 5. Save for later
> save_checkpoint path="my_project_memory.json"
```
### Training HOPE
```typescript
// Explicit training on patterns
> train_step
x_t: "def hello"
x_next: "world"
// HOPE learns: "def hello" → "world" pattern
// Later:
> forward_pass input="def hello"
// Predicts: "world" (or similar completion)
```
### Online Learning Mode
```typescript
// Start continuous learning
> init_learner
// Feed training samples as you work
> add_training_sample data="function add(a, b) { return a + b; }"
// HOPE learns in background, memory updates automatically
// Check learning progress
> get_learner_stats
```

## Real-World Use Cases
### 1. **Personalized Code Assistant**
```
Day 1: "I'm learning Rust"
HOPE: Stores preference for Rust
Day 5: "Show me how to handle errors"
HOPE: Recalls Rust context → Shows Result<T, E> pattern
(Not Python try/catch or JavaScript throw)
```
### 2. **Project Context Memory**
```
Store once: "Working on e-commerce site, React frontend, Django backend, Stripe payments"
Every question after:
- "Add a new product page" → HOPE knows React + Django + ecommerce context
- "How do I refund a payment" → HOPE knows you use Stripe
- "Deploy to production" → HOPE remembers full stack (React + Django)
```
### 3. **Research Assistant**
```
Feed HOPE 50 research papers on neural networks
Query: "What's the consensus on attention mechanisms?"
HOPE:
- Short-term: Current paper's view
- Long-term: Cross-paper patterns identified
- Archive: Fundamental concepts
→ Synthesized answer from all levels
```
### 4. **Continuous Learning Chatbot**
```
Traditional bot:
- User: "No, I meant X not Y"
- Bot: "OK" → Forgets next session
HOPE bot:
- User: "No, I meant X not Y"
- HOPE: Stores correction in long-term memory
- Next session: Remembers correction automatically
```

## Troubleshooting
### "Module not found" errors
```bash
# Ensure Node.js 22+
node --version
# Reinstall dependencies
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install
```
### Memory leaks during long sessions
```typescript
// HOPE has automatic cleanup, but you can manually trigger:
> reset_gradients
> prune_memory threshold=0.1
```
### TypeScript compilation errors
Current known issue (being fixed in v3.1). To use despite errors:
```bash
# Skip type checking
npm run build --skipTypeCheck
# Or use published version
npx @henryhawke/mcp-titan
```
### Slow performance
```typescript
// Reduce memory capacity in config
> init_model config={
"shortTermSlots": 32, // Default 64
"longTermSlots": 128, // Default 256
"archiveSlots": 256 // Default 512
}
```

## FAQ
### Q: How is this different from RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)?
**A:** RAG fetches external documents; HOPE builds internal neural memory.
| Feature | RAG | HOPE |
|---------|-----|------|
| Storage | External vector DB | Internal neural tensors |
| Learning | No learning (just retrieval) | Continuous learning with momentum |
| Forgetting | Never forgets (stores all) | Smart forgetting (prunes low-value) |
| Context | Retrieved documents | Learned patterns |
| Speed | Slower (external lookup) | Faster (in-memory) |
### Q: Does HOPE replace fine-tuning?
**A:** No, complementary. Fine-tuning = pre-training knowledge. HOPE = session-specific learning.
```
Base Model → Fine-tuning → HOPE Learning
(General) (Domain) (User-specific)
```
### Q: How much memory does HOPE use?
**A:** ~500MB typical, configurable. Reduce by lowering tier capacities.
### Q: Can HOPE run on CPU?
**A:** Yes! Uses TensorFlow.js Node backend (CPU). GPU optional but not required.
### Q: Is my data private?
**A:** Yes. HOPE runs locally, memories stored on your disk (`~/.hope_memory`). No cloud upload.
