sessionmem MCP server

sessionmem is a small helper that keeps notes about your coding sessions and quietly reminds your AI assistant of the important bits the next time you start working. It is handy if you use an AI coding tool like Claude Code or Cursor and you are tired of explaining the same project details over and over. Everything is saved in a single file on your own computer.

What this MCP server does

You work with your AI coding tool as usual. In the background, sessionmem watches the session and, when it ends, writes down a short summary of what mattered, like a decision you made or a bug to avoid. The next time you start a session, it looks through those notes and picks the most relevant ones. It then quietly adds a small reminder at the start of the conversation. Your AI sees that reminder and can pick up where you left off.

What you can do with it

• Remember decisions you made in earlier sessions
• Remind your AI about warnings and things to avoid
• Keep track of your project stack and key facts
• Search your past session notes by topic
• List and review all saved memories for a project
• Export your memories to a file or import them back
• Automatically scrub secrets like API keys before saving

Try asking your AI

• “What did we decide about the authentication flow last week?”
• “Remind me which part of the billing code I should not touch.”
• “What is the current state of the Stripe migration?”
• “Search my memories for anything about the JWT bug.”

What it gives back to you

It gives your AI a short reminder at the start of a session, usually just a few lines about decisions, warnings, and facts. When you ask it to search, it returns a list of matching notes with short summaries. You can also list, show, or export memories yourself using simple commands. The changes it makes are small notes saved to a file on your computer.
