pi-cognee
Cognee AI memory for Pi — your coding agent with persistent, queryable knowledge graph memory.
Two backends, one interface:
| Mode | How | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| SDK (default) | In-process via @cognee/cognee-ts |
Zero-infrastructure, works out of the box |
| MCP | Remote Cognee MCP server | Shared memory across agents, self-hosted |
Install
pi install npm:@kerryhatcher/pi-cognee
Quick Start (SDK mode)
SDK mode works immediately — no server needed. Just set your LLM API key:
# In pi:
/cognee-config llmApiKey sk-...
/cognee-config llmModel gpt-4o-mini
Then start using memory:
> Remember this: the project uses Postgres with Prisma ORM
> What database does this project use?
MCP Mode
If you run a Cognee MCP server, switch to MCP mode:
/cognee-mode mcp
/cognee-config mcpUrl http://localhost:8001/mcp
