Agent Memory MCP

A self-improving agent memory server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It captures, organizes, and shares memories across all your workspaces and repositories, builds a personal knowledge graph, learns your preferences, and recommends the right tools to limit token usage.

Features

• Cross-workspace memory sharing — memories stored in ~/.agent-memory-mcp/ are available to every workspace/repo.

• Semantic + keyword recall — SQLite FTS5 full-text search plus lightweight vector similarity.

• Knowledge graph — auto-extracts entities and relations from memories, like a personal CodeGraph.

• Continuous correction — corrections are linked to memories and used to update confidence and generate preferences.

• Preference learning — learns style, formatting, workflow, and tool-selection preferences from interactions.

• Tool recommender — logs tool outcomes and recommends the best tool given a task description.

• Self-improvement — reflect analyzes patterns, merges duplicates, surfaces insights, and updates preferences.

Platform Setup

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

The .vscode/mcp.json is pre-configured for this workspace. Copilot will automatically discover it.

Claude Code CLI

Add the following to .claude/settings.json (already included in this repo):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-memory": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["${workspaceFolder}/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/settings.json and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-memory": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/agent-memory-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Replace the path with the actual absolute path to this project.

Cursor

The .cursor/mcp.json is pre-configured for this workspace. Cursor will discover it automatically.

OpenCode

The opencode.json is pre-configured for this workspace. OpenCode will discover it automatically.

Environment variables

Available tools

• remember — store a memory, correction, preference, or tool outcome.

• recall — search memories semantically and by keyword.

• recall_recent — list the most recently accessed or created memories.

• remember_correction — store a correction tied to an existing memory.

• remember_tool_outcome — log success/failure, tokens, duration for a tool call.

• get_preferences — retrieve learned preferences, optionally filtered by key prefix.

• set_preference — manually set a preference.

• get_tool_recommendations — get ranked tool recommendations for a task.

• get_knowledge_graph — explore entities and relations around a topic.

• reflect — run self-improvement analysis.

• update_memory_confidence — reinforce or penalize a memory.

Example workflow

After connecting the server to your MCP client, it will start learning as you work:

1. Store a preference

   { "tool": "remember", "content": "I prefer flat error handling over throwing." }

2. Log a tool outcome

   { "tool": "remember_tool_outcome",
     "arguments": { "tool_name": "grep_search", "task_summary": "Find helper usages", "success": true, "duration_ms": 120, "tokens_used": 200 } }

3. Recall when needed

   { "tool": "recall", "arguments": { "query": "error handling preference", "limit": 5 } }

4. Run reflection periodically

   { "tool": "reflect" }

The server also exposes a memory-context prompt and three resources (memory://preferences, memory://recent, memory://stats) that MCP clients can pull into context.
