Alaya memory MCP server

Alaya is a memory helper for AI assistants. It saves your conversations in a single file on your own computer, then brings back the parts that matter when you need them. It is handy for anyone who uses an AI every day and is tired of repeating the same context over and over.

What this MCP server does

You talk to your AI as usual, and when something is worth keeping, the AI uses this helper to write it down. The helper saves that note in a local database file on your computer. Later, when you ask a question, the AI searches that memory and pulls back the most relevant pieces. Over time it also distills repeated facts into cleaner knowledge and lets stale details fade away. You get answers that remember your earlier conversations without you pasting old text back in.

What you can do with it

• Store a conversation message so your AI remembers it later
• Search your saved memories with a plain question
• Teach your AI a fact directly so it does not have to guess
• See memory statistics like how many episodes and facts are saved
• Get a list of preferences your AI has picked up about you
• Run a cleanup that removes duplicates and lets old items fade
• Delete memories by session, by age, or everything at once
• Import past conversations from Claude Code history files

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat that are based on your earlier conversations, not just the current message. When your AI searches memory, it can show a short list of matching notes with a relevance score next to each one. When it saves something, you get a small confirmation like a stored episode number. Status requests come back as a short summary of counts, such as how many episodes, facts, and preferences are saved.
