Hosting

Local/self-hosted Python service or Hindsight Cloud

Transport

stdio for local MCP command; Streamable HTTP for API/Cloud endpoint

Endpoint

https://api.hindsight.vectorize.io/mcp (Cloud; bank ID and API key required); local deployments expose /mcp or /mcp/{bank_id}/

Authentication

Local MCP is unauthenticated by default unless API-key tenant authentication is enabled. Cloud configuration uses a Hindsight API key and bank ID.

Requirements

• Python package installation for the local stdio command, or Docker for the documented local full service.
• A configured LLM provider API key for local processing unless a supported local provider is configured.
• For Hindsight Cloud, an account/API key and bank ID.

Setup steps

1. For local MCP without running the full API server, install the official package with `pip install hindsight-api` and configure the client to launch `hindsight-local-mcp` over stdio.
2. For the full local service, follow the official Docker quick start; it starts the API/MCP service on port 8888 and requires a selected LLM provider configuration.
3. For Hindsight Cloud, configure remote Streamable HTTP at https://api.hindsight.vectorize.io/mcp; set Authorization: Bearer <HINDSIGHT_API_KEY> and X-Bank-Id: <HINDSIGHT_BANK_ID> using the client's secure secret/header settings.
4. Select a bank-specific endpoint when using local HTTP (`/mcp/{bank_id}/`) or set the documented bank header; review the official MCP server page for authentication and bank selection behavior.
5. Reconnect the MCP client and inspect tools/list. Do not call write/delete tools as a connection smoke test.

The publisher documents local MCP profiles with 27 tools in single-bank mode and 30 in multi-bank mode. Four base memory actions are stored here; actual profile and hosted availability may differ.

• retain

  Store information to long-term memory.

  Parameters: content, context, timestamp, tags, metadata, document_id
  01
• sync_retain

  Store information and wait until it is immediately available for recall.

  Parameters: content, context, timestamp, tags, metadata, document_id
  02
• recall

  Search memories using relevant retrieval filters.

  Parameters: query, max_tokens, budget, types, tags, tags_match, tag_groups, query_timestamp, min_scores, temporal_window, include_chunks, max_chunk_tokens, include_entities, max_entity_tokens, include_source_facts, max_source_facts_tokens
  03
• reflect

  Synthesize stored memories into reasoned analysis.

  Parameters: query, context, budget, max_tokens, response_schema, tags, tags_match, include_trace
  04

This server’s available tools can vary by account, permissions, or configuration. The list shown is not its full runtime catalog.

• Cloud credentials and bank identity are required for the remote endpoint; the cloud key-creation workflow was not tested in this pass.
• Tool inventory and parameter availability vary by local/remote mode and bank-scoping endpoint.
• No MCP initialize, tools/list, or representative tool call was performed for this catalog entry.

• Official publisher README

  Documents local installation, hindsight-api and hindsight-local-mcp commands, default API port, MCP endpoint and local model-provider configuration.

• Official developer MCP documentation

  Official Hindsight developer MCP reference documents local and Cloud endpoint paths, auth modes, bank selection, 27 single-bank/30 multi-bank tools, and full parameters for tools including retain, recall, and reflect.

• Official product website and brand asset

  Confirms Hindsight product identity; official site favicon decoded as PNG and visually reviewed on light/dark backgrounds.

• official mcp reference

  Publisher reference describes distinct local profiles with 27 single-bank and 30 multi-bank tools; this catalog stores four base memory actions, not a complete profile inventory.
