- Retry logic with exponential backoff
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Immediate Use (Simple MCP Server)
```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run build
# Test the MCP server
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' | npm run mcp-server
```
### Claude Desktop Integration
Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"memory-ts": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-memory-ts/dist/desktop-mcp-server.js"],
"env": {
"TURSO_URL": "your-database-url",
"TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-auth-token",
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-openai-key"
}
}
}
}
```

## 💡 Usage Examples
### Memory Management
```typescript
// Add memory with vector embedding
await memoryCore.addMemory(
"TypeScript Project Setup",
"Configured modern TypeScript project with strict typing",
MemoryType.TECHNICAL,
{ tags: ["typescript", "setup"], importance: ImportanceLevel.HIGH }
);
// Search with vector similarity
const results = await memoryCore.searchMemories("typescript configuration");
```
### Entity Management
```typescript
// Create person entity
await memoryCore.createEntity(
"John Doe",
EntityType.PERSON,
{ company: "Tech Corp", title: "Developer" }
);
```
This TypeScript implementation provides a solid foundation for a cloud-based vector memory service that integrates seamlessly with Claude.ai while maintaining the core functionality of the original Python implementation.
