memvid-claude-brain is a Claude Code plugin that stores agent memory in one portable .mv2 file with a fast local Rust core.
About
memvid-claude-brain is a Claude Code plugin that gives your agent persistent, searchable memory packaged as a single.mv2 file. developers who hate maintaining Chroma, SQLite, or cloud vector stores can treat memory like any other artifact: add it to git, copy it over SSH, or hand it to a collaborator. The pitch is a Rust-backed engine with very fast local operations so recall stays invisible during normal coding. You reach for it when context window limits or fresh sessions keep erasing decisions, naming choices, and half-finished plans. It fits workflows where one person owns the repo and wants zero ops overhead. It does not replace structured docs or issue trackers; it complements them by capturing what was said and decided in agent conversations. Pair it with normal SKILL.md and CLAUDE.md hygiene so the brain file reinforces—not duplicates—your source of truth.
- Stores photographic-style session memory in one portable .mv2 file—no SQLite, ChromaDB, or hosted database

- Version-control friendly: commit, scp, or share the same brain file across machines
- Community listing: 1 plugin bundle in memvid/claude-brain (347 GitHub stars on catalog metadata)
- Portable memory layer for Claude Code, not a separate chat app
