Changelog

What's new in Phorvec, newest first.

Unreleased

phorvec upgrade <YOUR-KEY> — one command swaps a free-wheel install for the paid wheel from your licensed index and unlocks paid tools (restart your MCP server / Python process after upgrading). Brand-new installs can point pip install at the licensed index directly. Details →

The full memory engine — teams and all — now runs in-process from pip install phorvec.

Full tool parity in the Python library — every tool the MCP server exposes (147 on the paid tier) is now callable straight from the pip package, with the same license gating. No server to host.
In-process multi-agent teams — form a team and act as any member from a single Python program: shared team feed, cross-member conflict detection, and cross-agent insight discovery, all via the new phorvec.Team API (Team.as_member(...)).
Fixed team-feed membership — a member-id derivation bug could hide teammates' shared items from the feed; teammates now show up reliably.

Your sessions now survive /compact — and your memory is portable.

Session continuity for Claude Code — one command (phorvec init --tool claude-code --hooks) installs hooks that save a distilled summary of your session before compaction or exit, and restore the key decisions into your next session automatically. Fully local, and hardened so a hook failure can never break a session. In our deterministic eval, 5/5 seeded decisions survive compaction (8/10 at N=10) — baseline without it is 0.
Import your memory from anywhere — phorvec ingest brings in ChatGPT exports, CLAUDE.md/MEMORY.md files, mem0 exports, and Obsidian vaults.
Open .avdb format spec — the portable agent-memory archive is now a documented open format, so your memory is never locked in. phorvec export --quantize int8 shrinks archives ~4x.
Team servers, one line per engineer — phorvec init --remote https://memory.internal:8080/mcp --remote-token pv_<key> points Claude Code at your self-hosted team memory.
Leaner MCP surface — new installs default to a minimal 18-tool preset (--preset minimal|standard|full).
Hybrid retrieval fix — the default hybrid mode no longer underperforms on verbatim-stored content (RRF fusion bug; benchmark restored to parity with vector mode).

Phorvec is now on PyPI — pip install phorvec.

The memory engine behind the MCP server is now a Python library you can drop straight into your own agents.
