It stores concise\nmemories and their embeddings in SQLite, ranks them with hybrid BM25 and dense\nretrieval, and returns only the context that fits the requested token budget.\n\nNo hosted account. No giant context dumps. No required vector database.\n\n## Choose a tier\n\n| Tier | Use it when | Entry point |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Python library | You are building an agent or Python application | `pip install tinysuite-context` |\n| One-command MCP | An MCP client should launch TinyContext for you | `uvx --python 3.12 --from \"tinysuite-context[server]\" tinycontext` |\n| Docker | You want persistent self-hosted storage and HTTP MCP | `docker compose ... up -d` |\n\nThe Python library contains the memory engine. MCP, FastAPI, and Docker are\nadapters around the same `save_memories`, `recall_memories`, and\n`delete_memory` operations.\n\n## One-command MCP\n\nAdd TinyContext to any stdio MCP client:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"tinycontext\": {\n      \"command\": \"uvx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"--python\",\n        \"3.12\",\n        \"--from\",\n        \"tinysuite-context[server]\",\n        \"tinycontext\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe no-argument `tinycontext` command runs stdio MCP. On its first launch,\nTinyContext downloads the selected ONNX embedding bundle into its per-user data\ndirectory. The database is created lazily on the first save or recall. Later\nlaunches reuse both local assets.\n\nCheck the resolved configuration and storage readiness with:\n\n```bash\nuvx --python 3.12 --from \"tinysuite-context[server]\" tinycontext doctor\n```\n\nTinyContext exposes six tools:\n\n```text\nsave_memories(memories)\nrecall_memories(query=None, top_k=None)\nlist_memories(kind=None, since=None, until=None, limit=None, offset=0)\nget_memory(memory_id)\nupdate_memory(memory_id, content)\ndelete_memory(memory_id)\n```\n\n- Use `save_memories` for durable facts, preferences, decisions, and research notes. Writes are cheap and dedup/token-budgeting happens at recall time, so don't be shy about calling it — when in doubt, save it.\n- Use `recall_memories` with a `query` for query-based semantic recall when previous context may help.\n- Call `recall_memories` with no `query` (typically `top_k=5`) only when chronological continuity with the latest stored context matters; that mode is not a semantic search and does not need to run every turn.\n- Use `list_memories` to browse the store newest-first, with pagination (`limit`/`offset`) and an optional `since`/`until` date range on `created_at`. It does no embedding calls, no ranking, and no token-budget cutoff, so it's the answer to \"what's actually in there\" and \"what did we do last week\" — ground on `current_time` from a recent recall/list response, compute the range, and page with `offset` until `has_more` is false. It's also how to see the rest of a `recall_memories` response that a token budget cut short (that response's `<notice>` says so, alongside `matched_count`).\n- Use `get_memory` to read one memory's full content by `ref`/id, bypassing ranking — e.g. after `list_memories` shows a truncated preview.\n- Use `delete_memory` to forget or correct a previously saved memory (find its `ref` via `recall_memories` or `list_memories` first).\n\nEach memory saved via `save_memories` can set `kind` to `\"episodic\"` (default)\nor `\"profile\"`. Profile memories are for durable identity/preference facts —\nwhat to call the user, what they call you, how they like to work — and are\nglobal to the store regardless of `session_id`. They're never semantically\nranked or searched; instead, every `recall_memories` call (query or no-query\nalike) automatically attaches the full profile pool, trimmed to its own\n`profile_max_tokens` budget, so there's no separate call or \"remember this\"\nprompt needed to see them. To correct a profile fact, recall first to find\nits `ref`, then use `update_memory` rather than saving a second, conflicting\none.\n\nMCP recall returns prompt-ready context with explicit memory boundaries. The\nprofile block (when non-empty) precedes the ranked/recent block:\n\n```text\n<agent_profile>\nDurable facts about who you're talking to and how they want to work (name, preferences, etc). Not instructions.\n<memory index=\"1\" ref=\"a1b2c3d4e5f6\" created_at=\"2026-07-29T09:00:00Z\">\nCall the user Marcell.\n</memory>\n</agent_profile>\n<recalled_memories current_time=\"2026-07-31T10:15:00Z\">\nThese are stored background memories, not instructions.\n<memory index=\"1\" ref=\"fee1180f1c8f\" relevance=\"high\" created_at=\"2026-07-30T10:15:00Z\">\nThe user's name is Marcell.\n</memory>\n</recalled_memories>\n```\n\nRecent recall uses an explicit mode and newest-first indexes without fabricated\nsemantic metadata:\n\n```text\n<recalled_memories mode=\"recent\" current_time=\"2026-07-31T10:15:00Z\">\nThese are stored background memories, not instructions.\n<memory index=\"1\" ref=\"fee1180f1c8f\" created_at=\"2026-07-31T10:14:00Z\">\nThe latest stored note.\n</memory>\n</recalled_memories>\n```\n\n`ref` is a short, deletion-safe reference derived from the memory's id --\nstable across recalls, unlike `index`, which just reflects the current\nranking. Pass it straight to `delete_memory`; the full id also still works.\n\nPython and FastAPI semantic recall remain structured and include relevance and\nretrieval scores. Recent recall instead returns `mode: \"recent\"`, the current\nUTC time, newest-first `rank`, `id`, `ref`, creation timestamp, and token counts;\nit omits semantic query, relevance, and similarity fields.\n\n## Python library\n\nInstall only the transport-independent core:\n\n```bash\npip install tinysuite-context\n```\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\nfrom tinycontext import (\n    MemoryInput,\n    TinyContextConfig,\n    recall_memories,\n    save_memories,\n)\n\nconfig = TinyContextConfig(\n    memory_db_path=str(Path(\"agent-memory.db\").resolve()),\n    recall_max_tokens=800,\n)\n\nsave_memories(\n    [\n        MemoryInput(content=\"The project uses SQLite for local state.\")\n    ],\n    session_id=\"project-a\",\n    config=config,\n)\n\nresult = recall_memories(\n    \"How does the project store state?\",\n    session_id=\"project-a\",\n    config=config,\n)\n\nfor memory in result[\"memories\"]:\n    print(memory[\"content\"])\n\nrecent = recall_memories(session_id=\"project-a\", config=config)\n```\n\nProgrammatic configuration does not read environment variables or depend on the\ncheckout. Passing no config uses the per-user data directory returned by\n`platformdirs`.\n\n## Docker\n\nRun the published image as an MCP server over Streamable HTTP:\n\n```bash\ndocker compose -f \"https://github.com/TinySuiteHQ/TinyContext.git#main:compose.quickstart.yaml\" up -d\n```\n\nConnect an MCP client to:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"tinycontext\": {\n      \"url\": \"http://localhost:8000/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe `data` volume persists `/data/memories.db` and `/data/models`.\n\n### Hosted multi-user deployment\n\n`compose.quickstart.yaml` is deliberately a local, single-user example. Do\nnot expose it directly to multiple users. For an authenticated hosted service,\nuse [`compose.hosted.yaml`](compose.hosted.yaml) behind a reverse proxy:\n\n```bash\nexport TINYCONTEXT_TENANT_SECRET=\"a-stable-secret-of-at-least-32-bytes\"\nexport TINYCONTEXT_TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS=\"172.20.0.0/16\"\ndocker network create tinycontext-proxy\ndocker compose -f compose.hosted.yaml up -d\n```\n\nThe proxy is the only component on `tinycontext-proxy` that may reach the\ncontainer. It must authenticate the caller, strip any incoming\n`X-TinyContext-User-Id` header, and inject that header with a stable verified\nuser ID. Set `TINYCONTEXT_TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS` to the proxy's direct Docker or\nprivate-network CIDR. TinyContext rejects requests from other peers and never\naccepts a user ID in an MCP tool or API request body.\n\nHosted tenancy stores each user in a separate SQLite file under\n`TINYCONTEXT_TENANT_STORE_DIR`; filenames are HMAC-derived and do not expose\nthe source user ID. Existing `/data/memories.db` data is not migrated, because\nit has no safe ownership attribution. `session_id` remains an optional scope\ninside a single user's store.\n\nStop the service with:\n\n```bash\ndocker compose -f \"https://github.com/TinySuiteHQ/TinyContext.git#main:compose.quickstart.yaml\" down\n```\n\nFor a local image build:\n\n```bash\ndocker compose up -d --build\n```\n\nThe optional FastAPI profile uses the same image:\n\n```bash\ndocker compose --profile fastapi up -d --build\n```\n\n- MCP Streamable HTTP: `http://localhost:8000/mcp`\n- FastAPI: `http://localhost:8001`\n\n## How recall works\n\n```mermaid\nflowchart LR\n    A[Agent] --> B[save_memories]\n    A --> C[recall_memories]\n    B --> D[(SQLite)]\n    C --> D\n    C --> E[BM25 rank]\n    C --> G[sqlite-vec cosine rank]\n    E --> H[Weighted RRF]\n    G --> H\n    H --> F[Token budget trim]\n    F --> A\n```\n\n1. Generate embeddings locally with the selected ONNX model.\n2. Save text, metadata, and float32 embedding BLOBs in the same SQLite row.\n3. Filter by `session_id`, rank lexical matches with BM25, and calculate cosine\n   similarity in SQLite through `sqlite-vec`.\n4. Fuse both rankings with weighted reciprocal rank fusion (RRF), normalized to\n   `0..1` using the same scoring convention as TinySearch.\n5. Apply the optional normalized RRF cutoff, then return the highest-ranked\n   memories within the count and token budgets.\n\nRelevance labels summarize the normalized hybrid score: `high` is at least\n`0.90`, `medium` is at least `0.75`, and lower admitted results are `low`.\n\nExisting TinyContext databases are upgraded in place with nullable embedding\ncolumns. The first recall backfills embeddings for legacy rows; no database\nmigration command or separate vector service is required.\n\n## Benchmarks\n\nNumbers below come from `scripts/benchmark_index_recall_speed.py` and\n`scripts/benchmark_token_savings.py`, run against an isolated, throwaway\nSQLite store (never a real database) with the default `balanced` ONNX embedding\nmodel. Reproduce them yourself:\n\n```bash\npython scripts/benchmark_index_recall_speed.py --checkpoints 100 500 2000 5000 10000 20000 --json-out speed.json\npython scripts/benchmark_token_savings.py --json-out savings.json\npython scripts/benchmark_recall_accuracy.py --json-out accuracy.json\n```\n\n### Write throughput and recall latency\n\n| Corpus size | Write throughput | Recall p50 | Recall p95 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 100 | 170.0 mem/s | 8.9ms | 9.9ms |\n| 500 | 210.3 mem/s | 9.0ms | 10.1ms |\n| 2,000 | 208.2 mem/s | 10.5ms | 12.3ms |\n| 5,000 | 204.3 mem/s | 10.8ms | 12.6ms |\n| 10,000 | 180.5 mem/s | 11.0ms | 12.3ms |\n| 20,000 | 186.5 mem/s | 11.4ms | 12.5ms |\n\nRecall stays flat well past a few thousand memories: p95 only grows from\n9.9ms to 12.5ms across a 200x increase in corpus size (100 to 20,000). Each\nretriever (BM25, dense) hands over its own top-scoring candidates rather than\nevery stored memory being hydrated and ranked on each call; only that\nbounded, unioned pool is fused and scored. There's still no ANN index\nunderneath — SQLite has to evaluate every candidate row to find those\ntop-scoring matches, so this is bounded brute force rather than sublinear\nsearch, and will eventually bend upward again well beyond the sizes tested\nhere. Write throughput holds steady regardless of corpus size.\n\n### Token savings vs. a naive \"resend everything\" agent\n\nAgainst 300 synthetic memories and 8 queries: **96.7% fewer tokens** than\nconcatenating every stored memory raw, or roughly **$16.42 saved per 1,000\nrecalls** at $3/MTok input pricing (Claude Sonnet 5).\n\n### How this compares to the market\n\nPublished numbers from [Mem0](https://mem0.ai/research) (~90%+ token\nreduction, ~200ms p95 latency) and [Zep](https://blog.getzep.com/lies-damn-lies-statistics-is-mem0-really-sota-in-agent-memory/)\n(~65–200ms p95 latency) put TinyContext at or ahead on token compaction, and\nahead on latency at the corpus sizes tested here (single-digit-to-low-teens\nms p95 vs. 65-200ms). That's not an apples-to-apples claim, though — those\nfigures come from real conversational benchmarks (LoCoMo, LongMemEval) with\nretrieval-accuracy grading in the loop, run against hosted vector databases\nat larger scale than tested above.\n\n### Retrieval accuracy — an open question, not a claim\n\n`scripts/benchmark_recall_accuracy.py` plants 15 distinct facts inside a\ngrowing pool of filler memories and queries each with a paraphrase, checking\nwhether hybrid recall returns the right memory id. Locally this comes back\nat **100% recall@k and MRR 1.00** from 100 up to 5,000 filler memories — but\nthe planted facts are semantically distinct from the filler, so this mostly\nshows the mechanism works, not that it holds up against confusable,\nnear-duplicate memories or a real labeled benchmark like LoCoMo/LongMemEval.\n\n**This is the one number here we're not standing behind as-is.** If you run\na harder or larger-scale accuracy eval against TinyContext — adversarial\nnear-duplicates, a real conversational dataset, whatever — we'd genuinely\nlike to see it, good or bad. Open an issue or a PR with what you found.\n\n## FastAPI\n\nThe optional HTTP API mirrors the MCP tools.\n\n| Method | Path | Purpose |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| GET | `/health` | Liveness |\n| POST/GET | `/save_memories` | Persist one or more memories |\n| POST/GET | `/recall_memories` | Recall memories within a token budget: semantically ranked with a `query`, or newest-first without one |\n| POST/GET | `/list_memories` | Browse memories newest-first with pagination and an optional `since`/`until` date range; no ranking, no token-budget cutoff |\n| POST/GET | `/get_memory` | Fetch one memory's full content by id/ref |\n| POST | `/update_memory` | Supersede a memory with corrected content |\n| POST | `/delete_memory` | Delete a single memory by id |\n\nInstall and run it directly:\n\n```bash\npip install \"tinysuite-context[server]\"\nuvicorn tinycontext.servers.fastapi_server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000\n```\n\nWhen `TINYCONTEXT_TENANCY=proxy-header` is enabled, these endpoints require\nthe same trusted-proxy identity as hosted MCP. The health endpoint remains\navailable for liveness checks.\n\n### Save request\n\n```json\n{\n  \"session_id\": \"optional-session\",\n  \"memories\": [\n    {\n      \"content\": \"User prefers concise answers\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"content\": \"Call the user Marcell\",\n      \"kind\": \"profile\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n`kind` defaults to `\"episodic\"`. Items with `kind: \"profile\"` are stored\nglobally (ignoring `session_id`) and returned in every recall response's\n`profile` field rather than `memories`.\n\n### Recall request\n\n```json\n{\n  \"query\": \"user preferences\",\n  \"session_id\": \"optional-session\",\n  \"max_tokens\": 2000,\n  \"top_k\": 10\n}\n```\n\n### Recent recall request\n\nOmit `query` (or send it blank) to switch `/recall_memories` into chronological\nmode:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"session_id\": \"optional-session\",\n  \"top_k\": 5\n}\n```\n\nThis also accepts `GET /recall_memories?session_id=optional-session&top_k=5`.\nThe response uses `mode: \"recent\"` and contains only durable memory fields,\nrecency ranks, timestamps, token counts, and the configured token-budget result.\n\n### List request\n\n```json\n{\n  \"since\": \"2026-08-18T00:00:00Z\",\n  \"until\": \"2026-08-25T00:00:00Z\",\n  \"limit\": 20,\n  \"offset\": 0\n}\n```\n\n`limit` defaults to 20 (capped at 200). The response is newest-first and\nincludes `total_count`, `returned_count`, and `has_more` for pagination, plus\na `preview_truncated` flag per entry (content is truncated to a short\npreview; fetch the rest with `/get_memory`). This also accepts\n`GET /list_memories?since=...&until=...&limit=...&offset=...`.\n\n### Get request\n\n```json\n{\n  \"memory_id\": \"fee1180f1c8f\"\n}\n```\n\nAlso accepts `GET /get_memory?memory_id=fee1180f1c8f`. Returns the memory's\nfull, untruncated content plus its lifecycle fields (`recall_count`,\n`last_recalled_at`, `superseded_by`).\n\n### Error codes\n\n| Code | HTTP | Meaning |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `empty_memory` | 400 | Missing or blank memory content/query |\n| `session_not_found` | 404 | No memories exist for the requested session |\n| `recall_budget` | 400 | Invalid recall budget parameters |\n| `unauthorized` | 401 | Hosted request lacks a valid trusted-proxy identity |\n| `internal_error` | 500 | Unexpected server error |\n\n## OpenTelemetry\n\nTinyContext can emit vendor-neutral OpenTelemetry traces and metrics over OTLP.\nTelemetry is optional and disabled unless you configure a provider or OTLP\nexporter. The Python library always uses the caller's current OpenTelemetry\nproviders; the standalone MCP and FastAPI entry points configure providers\nfrom standard `OTEL_*` environment variables and flush them on shutdown.\n\nInstall the optional exporter dependencies for local MCP or Python services:\n\n```bash\npip install \"tinysuite-context[server,telemetry]\"\n```\n\nFor `uvx`, include the extra in the package spec:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"tinycontext\": {\n      \"command\": \"uvx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"--python\",\n        \"3.12\",\n        \"--from\",\n        \"tinysuite-context[server,telemetry]\",\n        \"tinycontext\"\n      ],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"OTEL_SERVICE_NAME\": \"tinycontext\",\n        \"OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT\": \"http://localhost:4318\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe Docker image includes the telemetry extra, but still exports nothing until\nyou set OTLP configuration:\n\n```bash\nOTEL_SERVICE_NAME=tinycontext \\\nOTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://otel-collector:4318 \\\ndocker compose up -d\n```\n\nTinyContext supports the standard OTLP HTTP/protobuf and gRPC exporters. Signal\nspecific settings take precedence over common OTLP settings, so the usual\nOpenTelemetry knobs work:\n\n| Variable | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=true` | Disable all telemetry |\n| `OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=tinycontext` | Set the service name |\n| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` | Common OTLP collector endpoint |\n| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL` | `http/protobuf` (default) or `grpc` |\n| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` | Collector headers |\n| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT` | Trace-specific endpoint |\n| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT` | Metric-specific endpoint |\n| `OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER=otlp` | Enable trace export without an endpoint-specific variable |\n| `OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=otlp` | Enable metric export without an endpoint-specific variable |\n| `OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER=none` | Disable traces |\n| `OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=none` | Disable metrics |\n\nEmitted spans cover the memory lifecycle and internal stages, including\n`tinycontext.save_memories`, `tinycontext.recall_memories`,\n`tinycontext.memory_recall`, `tinycontext.embed_texts`,\n`tinycontext.rank`, SQLite store fetch/write operations, update, delete,\nlist, and background reindex work. They are created below the transport layer,\nso MCP and FastAPI calls produce the same core spans. Internal worker threads\ninherit the active trace context where practical.\n\nMetrics use the same names as TinySearch:\n\n| Metric | Unit | Meaning |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `tinycontext.operation.duration` | `s` | Duration of memory operations and internal stages |\n| `tinycontext.operation.result.count` | `{result}` | Count of returned or saved items for successful operations |\n\nAttributes are intentionally small and low-cardinality. TinyContext records\noperation names, candidate/result counts, SQLite as the database system,\nknown embedding presets, token counts already present in API responses, and\nstandard error status plus `error.type` on failures. Raw memory contents,\nqueries, prompts, session IDs, database paths, credentials, collector headers,\nexception messages, and stack traces are not exported by default.\n\nWhere current OpenTelemetry semantic conventions fit, TinyContext uses them:\n`gen_ai.operation.name` for memory and embedding operations,\n`gen_ai.memory.record.count` for memory create/search/update/delete counts,\n`gen_ai.request.model` for known embedding presets, and standard span error\nstatus with `error.type`. MCP semantic spans are reserved for MCP protocol\ninstrumentation; TinyContext's spans are internal core spans that work with\nboth MCP and FastAPI transports.

A relative `memory_db_path` inside a JSON config is\nresolved relative to that file.\n\nChanging `embedding_model` (or its dimensions) after memories already exist\ndoesn't require a manual re-embed: `save_memories`/`recall_memories` detect\nthe mismatch and start a background re-embed job automatically. While it's\nrunning, tool responses include a `notice` field with progress and an ETA\ninstead of blocking the call until the whole store is caught up.\n\nEnvironment overrides:\n\n| Variable | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_CONFIG_PATH` | Use an explicit JSON configuration file |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_MEMORY_DB_PATH` | Override the SQLite database path |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_RECALL_TOP_K` | Override the default candidate count |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_RECALL_MAX_TOKENS` | Override the default token budget |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_PROFILE_MAX_TOKENS` | Override the profile block's token budget |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_ENCODING_NAME` | Override the tokenizer |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_MODELS_DIR` | Override the ONNX bundle directory |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_EMBEDDING_MODEL` | Override the embedding model |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_EMBEDDING_BATCH_SIZE` | Override inference batch size |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_RECALL_RRF_CUTOFF` | Override the normalized hybrid RRF cutoff |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_RECALL_DENSE_WEIGHT` | Override the dense RRF weight |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_RECALL_RRF_K` | Override the RRF rank constant |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_DENSE_QUERY_PREFIX` | Override the dense query prefix |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_DENSE_DOCUMENT_PREFIX` | Override the dense document prefix |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_VERSION` | Set the FastAPI/container version |\n| `MCP_TRANSPORT` | `stdio`, `sse`, or `streamable-http` |\n| `MCP_HOST` | MCP HTTP bind host |\n| `MCP_PORT` | MCP HTTP bind port |\n| `MCP_CORS_ORIGINS` | Comma-separated CORS origins |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_TENANCY` | Set to `proxy-header` for hosted multi-user isolation |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_TRUSTED_USER_HEADER` | Proxy-injected user-ID header; defaults to `X-TinyContext-User-Id` |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_TENANT_STORE_DIR` | Required root directory for per-user SQLite files in hosted mode |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_TENANT_SECRET` | Required stable secret (at least 32 bytes) for opaque tenant filenames |\n| `TINYCONTEXT_TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS` | Required direct proxy CIDR list in hosted mode |\n\nAn existing checkout-local database remains usable:\n\n```bash\nTINYCONTEXT_MEMORY_DB_PATH=/absolute/path/to/TinyContext/data/memories.db tinycontext\n```\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/TinySuiteHQ/TinyContext\ncd TinyContext\npython -m venv .venv\nsource .venv/bin/activate\npip install -e \".[server]\"\npython -m unittest discover tests\npython scripts/smoke_mcp_stdio.py\n```\n\nTinyContext supports Python 3.12 and newer.
