Decision brief
Memory Library for Stateful Agents
Good fit when
- Requires managing long-term and contextual memory in AI agents for statefulness.
- Prefer open-source solutions under AGPL-3.0 that allow local deployment through Docker.
Avoid when
- Do not need complex SDK support or a customizable framework approach.
- Not interested in using stateful capabilities leveraging multiple APIs such as Gemini, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

Self-hosting
Honcho is open source under AGPL-3.0. You can run the full server locally with Docker, then point the SDKs at http://localhost:8000.
Quick start (Docker)
git clone https://github.com/plastic-labs/honcho.git
cd honcho
cp docker-compose.yml.example docker-compose.yml
cp .env.template .env # fill in LLM_GEMINI_API_KEY / LLM_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / LLM_OPENAI_API_KEY
docker compose up
Then point the SDKs at it:
honcho = Honcho(workspace_id="my-app-testing", base_url="http://localhost:8000")
