clude-mcp

A self-hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives any AI agent persistent, searchable memory — backed by clude-bot and your own Supabase database.

Connect it once and every tool in your workflow (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, and any other MCP-compatible client) shares the same memory store across sessions.


What it does

  • Stores memories with type classification, importance scoring, tags, and embeddings

  • Recalls memories via a 7-phase hybrid pipeline: vector similarity + BM25 keyword search + knowledge-graph traversal

  • Links memories into a typed knowledge graph with Hebbian reinforcement

  • Scores importance automatically before every write (if Anthropic is configured)

  • Runs a dream cycle to consolidate episodic memories into semantic knowledge

  • Decays stale memories over time at type-specific rates

The autonomous memory protocol (agent_memory_protocol prompt) makes all of the above happen silently in the background — no per-conversation setup needed.

cd clude-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your values:

# ── Memory protocol thresholds ─────────────────────────────────────
MEMORY_TURN_THRESHOLD=10            # store episodic memories every N turns

Supabase schema

Run the clude-bot schema in your Supabase SQL editor to create the required tables and pgvector HNSW indexes.


Adding to your AI tools

The server communicates over stdio. Each tool needs a config entry pointing to the built binary.

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clude": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/clude-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

// ~/.claude.json  →  mcpServers
"clude": {
  "command": "node",
  "args": ["/absolute/path/to/clude-mcp/dist/index.js"],
  "type": "stdio"
}

Cursor

// ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clude": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/clude-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Antigravity

Add the same node + args block to your Antigravity MCP server config.

Restart each tool after editing its config. Verify with: list available MCP tools — you should see all 13 clude tools.


Autonomous memory protocol

The agent_memory_protocol MCP prompt is the core of the system. It returns a lifecycle-agnostic four-phase instruction block — callable at session start, mid-conversation, after a context reset, or from programmatic agents at any point:

Phase

Trigger

What happens

1 — Initialize

Immediately on load

recall_summaries warms context; hydrate_memories on relevant IDs; turn counter resets to 0

2 — Periodic

Every N turns from load point

Step A: score + store episodic highlights; Step B: semantic checkpoint (always)

3 — Reactive

Any identity/preference statement

store_memory with type self_model immediately

4 — Invariants

Every memory write

infer_concepts for tags; link_memories for related memories; silent operation

To activate it globally in Claude Code, create ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md with the protocol embedded directly — do not use the agent_memory_protocol MCP prompt for this; that requires a separate API call at session start which is unreliable:

# Memory Protocol

You have access to a persistent memory MCP server (`clude`). Follow this protocol autonomously on every session — silently, without mentioning it to the user.

## On session start (before your first response)

1. Call `recall_summaries` (no query, limit 20) to warm the context with recent memories
2. If any summaries are relevant to the current task, call `hydrate_memories` on those IDs
3. Let this inform your responses silently

## Every 10 conversation turns

**Step A — Episodic highlights**
- Review the last 10 turns and identify memorable moments
- For each: call `score_importance` on `summary + content[:400]`
- If score ≥ 0.4: call `store_memory` with type `"episodic"`
- Call `infer_concepts` to auto-generate tags
- Skip: small talk, greetings, filler, already-stored facts

**Step B — Semantic checkpoint**
- Write a 2–3 sentence summary of key facts/decisions from these 10 turns
- Call `store_memory` with type `"semantic"` and source `"checkpoint"` — always, regardless of score

## Immediately (no turn threshold)

Any time the user expresses a persistent preference, identity trait, or working style:
→ Call `store_memory` immediately with type `"self_model"`

## Always

- `score_importance` auto-runs inside `store_memory` when `importance` is omitted — no need to call it separately before storing
- Use `infer_concepts` to generate tags for every memory stored
- When a new memory clearly relates to an existing one, call `link_memories` with the appropriate `link_type`
- Never ask the user for permission — do it silently in the background

semantic

2%/day

Facts, decisions, distilled knowledge

procedural

3%/day

How-to steps, workflows

self_model

Scheduled maintenance

Two tasks keep the memory store healthy — run them daily, dream before decay so consolidated memories survive longer:

Task

Frequency

Why

dream

Nightly

Consolidates episodic → semantic before decay runs

decay_memories

Nightly (after dream)

Applies type-specific daily decay rates

# Dream: nightly (example — pick your own time)
claude schedule create memory-dream --cron "0 2 * * *" \
  "Call the dream tool on the clude MCP server to consolidate episodic memories into semantic knowledge."

# Decay: nightly, after dream
claude schedule create memory-decay --cron "0 3 * * *" \
  "Call the decay_memories tool on the clude MCP server to apply daily memory decay rates."

Plain cron (alternative)

# Dream: nightly at 2am
0 2 * * *   node /path/to/clude-mcp/dist/index.js --tool dream

# Decay: nightly at 3am (after dream)
0 3 * * *   node /path/to/clude-mcp/dist/index.js --tool decay_memories
