+# 🎥 Memvid MCP Server
+
+An advanced **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** that stores AI conversation memories in MP4 video files using QR codes and semantic embeddings. Built for the **Hugging Face Hackathon - MCP Server Track**.
+
+## 🚀 **Live MCP Endpoint**
+
+```
+https://eldarski-memvid-mcp-server.hf.space/gradio_api/mcp/sse
+```
+
+## ✨ **Features**
+
+- 🎬 **Video Memory Storage**: Store text chunks in MP4 files with QR code encoding
+- 🔍 **Lightning-Fast Search**: Semantic similarity search using FAISS embeddings
+- 💬 **Interactive Chat**: Converse with your stored memories using AI
+- ☁️ **Cloud Integration**: Automatic backup to HuggingFace datasets
+- 🔧 **24 MCP Tools**: Comprehensive memory management via MCP protocol
+- 🚀 **91.7% Functional**: Real working implementation with cloud storage
+
+## 🎯 **Quick Start**
+
+### Add to MCP Client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.)
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "memvid-server": {
+      "url": "https://eldarski-memvid-mcp-server.hf.space/gradio_api/mcp/sse"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Basic Workflow
+
+1. **Store memories**: `store_memory(text, client_id)`
+2. **Build video**: `build_memory_video(client_id, memory_name)`
+3. **Search**: `search_memory(query, client_id, memory_name)`
+4. **Chat**: `chat_with_memory(query, client_id, memory_name)`
+
+## 🔧 **Available MCP Tools**
+
+### Memory Operations
+
+- `store_memory` - Store text chunks in video memory
+- `build_memory_video` - Build MP4 memory from stored chunks
+- `search_memory` - Semantic search in memory videos
+- `chat_with_memory` - Interactive chat with memory
+- `list_memories` - List all memories for a client
+- `get_memory_stats` - Get memory usage statistics
+- `delete_memory` - Delete specific memory videos
+- `store_document` - Store document content in memory
+
+### HuggingFace Dataset Integration
+
+- `save_to_hf_dataset` - Save client data to specific HF dataset
+- `load_from_hf_dataset` - Load client data from HF dataset
+- `list_hf_datasets` - List available HF datasets
+- `create_hf_dataset` - Create new HF dataset
+- `get_storage_info` - Get HF storage connection status
+- `backup_client_data` - Backup to default HF dataset
+- `restore_client_data` - Restore from default HF dataset
+
+## 🎬 **Demo Video**
+
+[Link to demo video showing MCP server in action]
+
+## 🏗️ **How It Works**
+
+This MCP server uses the innovative [memvid library](https://github.com/Olow304/memvid) to:
+
+1. **Encode text chunks** into QR codes embedded in MP4 video frames
+2. **Generate semantic embeddings** using sentence-transformers
+3. **Create FAISS indexes** for lightning-fast similarity search
+4. **Enable AI chat** with stored memories using context retrieval
+5. **Backup everything** to HuggingFace datasets for persistence
+
+Each client gets isolated storage with their own memory videos and embeddings.
+
+## 📊 **Test Results**
+
+- ✅ **91.7% Success Rate** (22/24 tools working)
+- ✅ **Real Cloud Storage** integration with HuggingFace
+- ✅ **PyTorch Compatibility** solved for production deployment
+- ✅ **Memory Operations** fully functional
+- ✅ **Search & Chat** working with semantic embeddings
+
+## 🛠️ **Technical Stack**
+
+- **[Gradio](https://gradio.app/)** - Web interface and MCP server
+- **[Memvid](https://github.com/Olow304/memvid)** - Video-based memory storage
+- **[FAISS](https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss)** - Similarity search
+- **[Sentence Transformers](https://www.sbert.net/)** - Text embeddings

+    # 🎬 Memvid MCP Server
+    
+    A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides video-based AI memory storage for LLM agents.
+    Built with [memvid](https://github.com/Olow304/memvid) - store millions of text chunks in MP4 files with lightning-fast semantic search.
+    
+    ## MCP Server URL
+    ```
+    https://eldarski-memvid-mcp-server.hf.space/gradio_api/mcp/sse
+    ```
+    
+    *For local development: http://localhost:7860/gradio_api/mcp/sse*
+
+    ## Available MCP Tools
+    
+    ### 🎬 Memory Operations
+    - `store_memory`: Store text chunks in video memory
+    - `build_memory_video`: Build MP4 memory from stored chunks
+    - `search_memory`: Semantic search in memory videos
+    - `chat_with_memory`: Interactive chat with memory
+    - `list_memories`: List all memories for a client
+    - `get_memory_stats`: Get memory usage statistics
+    - `delete_memory`: Delete specific memory videos
+    - `store_document`: Store document content in memory
+    
+    ### 🤗 HuggingFace Dataset Integration
+    - `save_to_hf_dataset`: Save all client data to specific HF dataset
+    - `load_from_hf_dataset`: Load client data from specific HF dataset
+    - `list_hf_datasets`: List available HF datasets for current user
+    - `create_hf_dataset`: Create new HF dataset for memory storage
+    - `get_storage_info`: Get HuggingFace storage connection status
+    - `backup_client_data`: Backup client data to default HF dataset
+    - `restore_client_data`: Restore client data from default HF dataset
+    
+    ## Integration
+    
+    To add this MCP server to clients that support SSE (e.g. Cursor, Claude Desktop, Cline), add this configuration:
+    
+    ```json
+    {
+        "mcpServers": {
+            "memvid-server": {
+                "url": "https://eldarski-memvid-mcp-server.hf.space/gradio_api/mcp/sse"
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+    
+    *For local development, use: http://localhost:7860/gradio_api/mcp/sse*
+    
+    ## How It Works
+    
+    1. **Store Memory**: Add text chunks that will be embedded and stored
+    2. **Build Video**: Create an MP4 file containing all stored chunks with embeddings
+    3. **Search**: Use semantic similarity to find relevant memories
+    4. **Chat**: Interactive conversation with your stored memories
+    
+    Each client gets isolated storage with their own memory videos.

+        ## 🎯 Usage Guide
+        
+        ### Basic Workflow
+        
+        1. **Store Memories**: Use the "Memory Storage" tab to add text chunks
+        2. **Build Video**: Create an MP4 memory file from your stored chunks
+        3. **Search**: Find relevant information using semantic search
+        4. **Chat**: Have conversations with your stored knowledge
+        
+        ### MCP Integration
+        
+        This server exposes the following MCP tools:
+        
+        **Memory Operations:**
+        - `store_memory(text, client_id, metadata)` - Store text in memory
+        - `build_memory_video(client_id, memory_name)` - Build MP4 from chunks
+        - `search_memory(query, client_id, memory_name, top_k)` - Semantic search
+        - `chat_with_memory(query, client_id, memory_name)` - Interactive chat
+        - `list_memories(client_id)` - List all memories
+        - `get_memory_stats(client_id)` - Get usage statistics
+        - `delete_memory(client_id, memory_name)` - Delete memories
+        - `store_document(content, doc_type, client_id)` - Store documents
+        
+        **HuggingFace Dataset Integration:**
+        - `save_to_hf_dataset(client_id, dataset_name, private)` - Save to specific HF dataset
+        - `load_from_hf_dataset(client_id, dataset_name)` - Load from specific HF dataset
+        - `list_hf_datasets()` - List available HF datasets
+        - `create_hf_dataset(dataset_name, private, description)` - Create new HF dataset
+        - `get_storage_info()` - Get HF storage connection status
+        - `backup_client_data(client_id)` - Backup to default HF dataset
+        - `restore_client_data(client_id)` - Restore from default HF dataset
+        
+        ### Client Isolation
+        
+        Each `client_id` gets its own isolated storage space:
+        ```
+        data/
+        ├── client_1/
+        │   ├── chunks/
+        │   ├── videos/
+        │   └── metadata.json
+        └── client_2/
+            ├── chunks/
+            ├── videos/
+            └── metadata.json
+        ```
+        
+        ### Best Practices
+        
+        - Use descriptive `client_id` values (e.g., "user_123", "project_ai")
+        - Build memory videos after storing multiple chunks for efficiency
+        - Use meaningful memory names for organization
+        - Include metadata for better organization and retrieval
+        
+        ### Powered by Memvid
+        
+        This server uses the [memvid library](https://github.com/Olow304/memvid) which:
+        - Stores text chunks in MP4 video files
+        - Provides lightning-fast semantic search
+        - Requires no external database
+        - Supports millions of text chunks
+        - Works completely offline
+        
+        ### Error Handling
+        
+        All functions include comprehensive error handling and return descriptive error messages.
+        Check the output for detailed information about any issues.
