Memory MCP

An MCP server that provides project memory management for Claude Code.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Install directly from GitHub (no download required):

# Add to current project (local scope) claude mcp add memory \ --env ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY \ -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/JerryZhongJ/memory-mcp.git memory-mcp --project $(pwd)

Option 2: Local Development Installation

If you need to modify the source code or contribute to development:

# 1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/JerryZhongJ/memory-mcp.git cd memory-mcp # 2. Install dependencies uv sync # 3. Add to Claude Code claude mcp add memory \ --env ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY \ -- uv --directory /path/to/memory-mcp run memory-mcp --project $(pwd)

Verify Installation

After configuration, Claude Code will automatically load the server. You can verify with:

# List all configured MCP servers claude mcp list # Use /mcp command in Claude Code to check server status

Manage Server

# Remove server claude mcp remove memory # View server details claude mcp get memory

How It Works

  • Memories are stored as Markdown files in the project's .memories directory

  • Uses intelligent keyword matching and retrieval

  • LLM automatically decides whether to create new memories or update existing ones

  • Automatically validates content size and relevance

  • Frontend-backend separation architecture with automatic backend lifecycle management

Configuring CLAUDE.md

To help Claude better use this MCP service, it's recommended to create a .claude/CLAUDE.md file in your project with the following usage rules:

# Project Memory Management Rules ## ⚠️ Mandatory Rules (Must Be Strictly Followed) ### 1. Query Memory Before Starting Tasks **Every time you receive a user question, the first step must be to use `recall_memory_tool` to query relevant information.** Do not rely on judgment to decide whether to query. Any question may be related to existing memories. ### 2. Save New Information Immediately Upon Discovery **Whenever you obtain valuable new information through investigation, you must immediately use `memorize_memory_tool` to save it.** Save the information as soon as you discover it, don't wait until after answering the user's question. **Standard Workflow**: ``` User Question → Query Memory → Investigate Code/Docs → Discover New Info → Save Immediately → Answer User ``` **Important**: Skipping these steps leads to duplicate work, inconsistent answers, and knowledge loss.
