Description

Provena is an open-source, evidence-backed memory layer for AI agents. It records immutable events, turns durable facts into scoped claims, and preserves the evidence behind every memory. Codex, Claude, Gemini, and generic MCP clients can share context across sessions while users can inspect why a claim exists, review candidate memories, trace conflicts, and reverse decisions. Provena runs locally with PostgreSQL and supports local Ollama models, keeping memory auditable and under your control.

Could you build this?

Partial The basic data storage and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server interface are vibe-codeable, but building an immutable, cryptographic or verifiable evidence-backed memory layer across disparate agents requires advanced systems design.

What it would actually take: A legitimate evidence-backed agent memory layer needs an event-sourcing architecture (e.g., using append-only ledgers or verifiable hash trees) coupled with hybrid retrieval (vector search plus knowledge graphs). It requires implementing strict MCP protocol standards, robust entity-resolution heuristics, and deduplication logic to ensure durability without hallucination loops. This demands expertise in distributed database primitives, semantic graph databases, and LLM memory abstraction engineering.
