Memory Bank MCP Server

A Memory Bank implementation for managing project documentation and context across sessions using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This server helps AI agents like Claude maintain consistent project knowledge through global and branch-specific memory banks stored in a structured JSON format.

This project is inspired by Cline Memory Bank from the nickbaumann98/cline_docs repository.

Packages

This repository is a monorepo managed with Yarn Workspaces. It contains the following packages:

packages/mcp: The core MCP server implementation. Contains the main logic for handling memory bank operations, MCP tool execution, and server startup.
packages/schemas: Defines the JSON schemas used for memory bank documents (e.g., memory_document_v2).
packages/vscode-extension: A VSCode extension providing integration with the Memory Bank MCP server (details TBD).

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node.js (see .tool-versions for recommended version)
Yarn (v1.x)

Installation

Clone the repository and install dependencies from the root directory:

git clone https://github.com/t3ta/memory-bank-mcp-server.git
cd memory-bank-mcp-server
yarn install

Running the MCP Server

You can run the MCP server directly from the monorepo:

# From the monorepo root directory
yarn workspace @memory-bank/mcp start --docs /path/to/your/docs

Replace /path/to/your/docs with the actual path to your project's documentation directory (where global-memory-bank and branch-memory-bank will reside or be created).

See the packages/mcp/README.md for more details on running the server and its options.

Development

Build all packages: yarn build
Run tests for all packages: yarn test
Lint code: yarn lint

Refer to the README file within each package directory for package-specific development instructions.
