A structured memory system for AI assistants to enhance coding capabilities using database integration utilizing Claude Desktop and MCP Servers.
This system leverages multiple database types to create a comprehensive memory system for coding assistance:
- Qdrant Vector Database: For semantic search and retrieval of code patterns
- SQLite Database: For structured algorithm storage and versioning
- Knowledge Graph: For representing relationships between coding concepts
For storing and retrieving code snippets, patterns, and solutions by semantic meaning.
What to store:
- Reusable code patterns with explanations
- Solutions to complex problems
- Best practices and design patterns
- Documentation fragments and explanations
Enhanced Metadata:
- Language and framework details
- Complexity level (simple, intermediate, advanced)
- Dependencies and requirements
- Quality metrics (cyclomatic complexity, documentation coverage)
- User feedback and ratings
Example Usage:
# Storing a code pattern
information = {
"type": "code_pattern",
"language": "python",
"name": "Context Manager Pattern",
"code": "class MyContextManager:\n def __enter__(self):\n # Setup code\n return self\n def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):\n # Cleanup code\n pass",
"explanation": "Context managers provide a clean way to manage resources like file handles.",
"tags": ["python", "resource management", "context manager"],
"complexity": "intermediate",
"quality_metrics": {
"cyclomatic_complexity": 2,
"documentation_coverage": 0.85
},
"user_rating": 4.5
}
# Store in Qdrant
For maintaining a structured catalog of algorithms with proper versioning.
Database Schema:
algorithms
: Basic algorithm information (name, description)algorithm_versions
: Different versions of algorithm implementationsalgorithm_categories
: Categories like Sorting, Searching, Graph, etc.performance_metrics
: Performance data for different implementationsimprovements
: Tracked improvements between versionschange_logs
: Detailed logs of changes with rationale and context
Version Diffing:
- Store diffs between algorithm versions
- Track performance improvements across versions
- Document rationale behind changes
Example Query:
-- Find all sorting algorithms with performance metrics
SELECT a.name, a.description, v.version_number, p.time_complexity, p.space_complexity
FROM algorithms a
JOIN algorithm_versions v ON a.id = v.algorithm_id
JOIN performance_metrics p ON v.id = p.version_id
JOIN algorithm_category_mapping m ON a.id = m.algorithm_id
JOIN algorithm_categories c ON m.category_id = c.id
WHERE c.name = 'Sorting'
ORDER BY a.name, v.version_number DESC;
-- Get change logs for a specific algorithm
SELECT v.version_number, c.change_description, c.rationale, c.created_at
FROM algorithm_versions v
JOIN change_logs c ON v.id = c.version_id
WHERE v.algorithm_id = 5
ORDER BY v.version_number;
For representing complex relationships between coding concepts, patterns, and solutions.
