agent-memory-mcp
Persistent, searchable memory system for agents to store and retrieve architectural decisions, patterns, and project knowledge.
- Provides four core MCP tools:
memory_searchfor querying by text/type/tags,memory_writeto record decisions and patterns,memory_readto retrieve specific entries, andmemory_statsfor usage analytics - Runs as an MCP server that syncs with project documentation, enabling long-term knowledge retention across agent sessions
- Includes a standalone dashboard (port 3333) for visualizing memory usage and organization
- Requires Node.js v18+ and simple npm-based setup with a helper script to bind the memory bank to your project workspace
Agent Memory Skill
This skill provides a persistent, searchable memory bank that automatically syncs with project documentation. It runs as an MCP server to allow reading/writing/searching of long-term memories.
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v18+)
Setup
-
Clone the Repository: Clone the
agentMemoryproject into your agent's workspace or a parallel directory:git clone https://github.com/webzler/agentMemory.git .agent/skills/agent-memory -
Install Dependencies:
cd .agent/skills/agent-memory npm install npm run compile -
Start the MCP Server: Use the helper script to activate the memory bank for your current project:
npm run start-server <project_id> <absolute_path_to_target_workspace>Example for current directory:
npm run start-server my-project $(pwd)
Capabilities (MCP Tools)
memory_search
Search for memories by query, type, or tags.
- Args:
query(string),type?(string),tags?(string[]) - Usage: "Find all authentication patterns" ->
memory_search({ query: "authentication", type: "pattern" })
memory_write
Record new knowledge or decisions.
- Args:
key(string),type(string),content(string),tags?(string[]) - Usage: "Save this architecture decision" ->
memory_write({ key: "auth-v1", type: "decision", content: "..." })
memory_read
Retrieve specific memory content by key.
- Args:
key(string) - Usage: "Get the auth design" ->
memory_read({ key: "auth-v1" })
memory_stats
View analytics on memory usage.
- Usage: "Show memory statistics" ->
memory_stats({})
Dashboard
This skill includes a standalone dashboard to visualize memory usage.
npm run start-dashboard <absolute_path_to_target_workspace>
