Vayl
Reconciling memory for AI agents: a changed fact retires the old value, with history and approval.
Que pouvez-vous faire avec Vayl ?
- Reconciles changes. A new value supersedes the old one, and "we stopped X" retracts X. A retired fact is never returned as current.
- Keeps history. Ask what is true now or what was true before. Every change goes on a signed, tamper-evident audit chain.
- Human approval where it matters. Mark slots such as medications as confirm-required, and changes wait in a queue.
check_before_actblocks an action that depends on a disputed, stale or just-changed fact. - Small and local. SQLite by default, Postgres for teams. One model call to store a fact and one to answer. Any OpenAI-compatible model, Anthropic, Groq or a local Ollama model.
- Built-in presets for clinical, support, finance, sales, coding and assistant memory.
Installation
Ajoutez ceci à la configuration MCP de votre client (Claude Desktop : claude_desktop_config.json ; Cursor : .cursor/mcp.json ; VS Code et les autres utilisent la même forme « mcpServers »).
vayl-mcpclaude mcp add vayl -e 'OPENAI_API_KEY=<your openai_api_key>' -e 'VAYL_DB=<VAYL_DB>' -- uvx vayl-mcp==0.10.0

Vayl
The reconciling memory layer for AI agents.
When a fact changes, most agent memory keeps both versions and lets the model guess which is current. Vayl replaces the old value, keeps it in history, and can hold high-stakes changes until a person approves them. It runs locally on SQLite and works with any MCP client: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, or your own agent.
A real run with gpt-6-luna and the clinical preset. The patient is fictional. Script: assets/demo/clinical_demo.py

Install
pip install vayl-mcp
Add it to Claude Code:
claude mcp add vayl -e LLM_PROVIDER=openai -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... -e VAYL_DB=$HOME/.vayl/vayl.db -- vayl-mcp
For Cursor, Claude Desktop and other clients, see the quickstart. Run vayl-demo to try reconciliation with no API key.
Use it from code
from vayl import Vayl
with Vayl(user_id="cust_5521") as m:
m.remember("Acme's invoice bounced. Account suspended until payment clears.")
print(m.recall("Is Acme's account in good standing?"))
# No. Acme's account is suspended until payment clears.
Integrations
Agent frameworks. Backends plug into the framework's own memory, so facts are stored and recalled on every turn. Tool adapters give the agent memory tools to call.
| Framework | Install | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Google ADK | pip install 'vayl-mcp[adk]' | from vayl.integrations.adk import VaylMemoryService (memory backend) |
| LlamaIndex | pip install 'vayl-mcp[llamaindex]' | from vayl.integrations.llamaindex import VaylMemory (memory block) |
| AutoGen | pip install 'vayl-mcp[autogen]' | from vayl.integrations.autogen import VaylMemory (memory backend) |
| LangGraph / LangChain | pip install 'vayl-mcp[langgraph]' | from vayl.integrations.langgraph import VaylMemory (tools) |
| OpenAI Agents SDK | pip install 'vayl-mcp[openai-agents]' | from vayl.integrations.openai_agents import VaylMemory (tools) |
| CrewAI | pip install 'vayl-mcp[crewai]' | from vayl.integrations.crewai import VaylMemory (tools) |
| Pydantic AI | pip install vayl-mcp 'pydantic-ai-slim[openai,mcp]' | MCPToolset over MCP, no adapter |
| Agno | pip install vayl-mcp agno openai | MCPTools over MCP, no adapter |
| Vercel AI SDK | npm i @vayl.dev/client ai zod | import { vaylTools } from "@vayl.dev/client/vercel" |
| Mastra | npm i @vayl.dev/client @mastra/core zod | import { vaylTools } from "@vayl.dev/client/mastra" |
Examples for each are in Agent frameworks.
MCP clients. Install vayl-mcp, then add it to your client: Claude Code · Cursor · VS Code · Windsurf · Zed · Cline · Continue · Codex CLI · Gemini CLI. For a shared team memory, run vayl-server and call it over MCP or REST.

See CONTRIBUTING.md. The unit tests run offline, with no API key. Good starting points are labeled good first issue.
Security
Data is encrypted at rest by default, and Vayl sends nothing anywhere except to the model endpoints you configure. Vayl is not certified for clinical use and has not been audited by a third party. Report vulnerabilities as described in SECURITY.md.
