🚀 MCP Memory Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed for Claude Desktop, enabling structured memory management in chat sessions, especially suitable for project-based work.

🚀 Quick Start

The MCP Memory Server is crafted to assist Claude in maintaining context and knowledge during interactions with Claude Desktop, specifically within project directories. It empowers Claude to:

• Create a memory store within your project directory.
• Store crucial information discovered during conversations.
• Retrieve relevant information in future sessions.
• Build a comprehensive knowledge base about the project over time.

This approach is ideal for long - term projects that require context maintenance between sessions, such as software development, research, writing, or any collaborative work with Claude.

✨ Features

• Store memories in structured Markdown files.
• Index using Lunr.js for efficient retrieval.
• Tag and categorize memories.
• Establish relationships between memories.
• Search for memories by content, tags, or types.
• Build a memory store in a specified directory.

🔧 Technical Details

Memory Structure

Memories are stored within your project following this hierarchical structure:

/your-project-directory
  /memory                # Memory store created by Claude
    /entities/           # Information about specific entities (people, projects, etc.)
    /concepts/           # Abstract concepts or knowledge
    /sessions/           # Session-specific memories
    /index.json          # Lunr.js search index
    /metadata.json       # Overall memory metadata
    /README.md           # Automatically generated documentation

This structure ensures that all project - related memories are well - organized and easily accessible.
