hybrid server

The server is able to function both locally and remotely, depending on the configuration or use case.

Integrations

  • Integrates with Git branch structure to organize and manage branch-specific memory banks, automatically detecting current branches and maintaining context across feature or fix branches

  • Utilizes GitHub Actions for automated testing across multiple Node.js versions and automated release processes including version bumping, tagging, and npm publishing

  • Supports Markdown format for memory bank documents with migration tools to convert to the newer JSON format

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.
