agent-memory-mcp

A hybrid memory system that provides persistent, searchable knowledge management for AI agents (Architecture, Patterns, Decisions).

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

  1. Clone the Repository: Clone the agentMemory project into your agent's workspace or a parallel directory:

    git clone https://github.com/webzler/agentMemory.git .agent/skills/agent-memory
    
  2. Install Dependencies:

    cd .agent/skills/agent-memory
    npm install
    npm run compile
    
  3. 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)

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
