maasv Memory

Structured long-term memory for OpenClaw agents, powered by maasv.

Replaces the default memory backend with a cognition layer that includes 3-signal retrieval (semantic + keyword + knowledge graph), entity extraction, temporal versioning, and experiential learning.

maasv is entirely self-hosted. There is no maasv cloud service. You run the server on your own machine, and all data is stored in a SQLite file on your local disk that you own and control. Nothing is sent to maasv.

Install

This skill requires the

@maasv/openclaw-memory
plugin and a running maasv server.

1. Start the server

pip install "maasv[server,anthropic,voyage]"
cp server.env.example .env  # fill in API keys (see below)
maasv-server

2. Install the plugin

openclaw plugins install @maasv/openclaw-memory

3. Activate

// ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
{
  plugins: {
    slots: { memory: "memory-maasv" },
    entries: {
      "memory-maasv": {
        enabled: true,
        config: {
          serverUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:18790",
          autoRecall: true,
          autoCapture: true,
          enableGraph: true
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Required Credentials

The maasv server needs an LLM provider (for entity extraction) and an embedding provider (for semantic search). Configure these in your

.env
file:

VariableRequiredPurpose
MAASV_LLM_PROVIDER
Yes
anthropic
or
openai
MAASV_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
If using AnthropicLLM calls for entity extraction
MAASV_OPENAI_API_KEY
If using OpenAILLM calls for entity extraction
MAASV_EMBED_PROVIDER
Yes
voyage
,
openai
, or
ollama
MAASV_VOYAGE_API_KEY
If using VoyageEmbedding generation
MAASV_API_KEY
OptionalProtects maasv server endpoints with auth

For fully local operation (no cloud calls), use

ollama
as your embed provider and a local LLM. maasv is optimized for Qwen3-Embedding-8B via Ollama, with built-in Matryoshka dimension truncation. See the maasv README for local setup.

Data & Network Behavior

  • maasv has no cloud service. The server runs on your machine, the database is a SQLite file on your disk. You own all of it.
  • The only external calls are to your own LLM/embedding provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Voyage) — using your own API keys, from your own machine. If you use
    ollama
    , zero data leaves your machine.
  • The plugin talks only to localhost (
    127.0.0.1:18790
    ). It makes no external network calls.
  • autoCapture sends conversation summaries to your local maasv server for entity extraction. Extracted entities are stored in your local SQLite database.
  • autoRecall reads from your local SQLite database and injects relevant memories into the agent's context.
  • No telemetry, no analytics, no phone-home. maasv does not collect or transmit any data.
