agent-memory MCP server

agent-memory is a small helper that gives your AI coding assistant a lasting memory for one project. Instead of forgetting everything between chats, the AI can save notes about your project's rules, decisions, and tricky spots into plain text files inside your repository. It is handy if you use a coding assistant like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and want it to remember how your project works.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your project, or ask it to remember something. The AI uses this helper to read or write notes in a special folder called .agent-memory inside your repo. Important notes like rules and decisions get held back for your review first, so you can see exactly what would change. You look at the difference, approve it, and the note becomes part of the project. Later, the AI can find those notes again when it needs them.

What you can do with it

• Save project rules, decisions, and pitfalls as plain text files
• Look up what the AI already knows about a topic like auth or build steps
• Stage important changes so you can review them before they land
• See a clear before-and-after difference of any memory change
• Keep separate memory for each branch of your project
• Block secrets and personal information from being written into memory
• Let your AI fill in the memory by reading your existing codebase

Try asking your AI

• “Remember that we always run go test ./... before committing.”
• “What do you already know about how authentication works in this project?”
• “Look through this repo and write down the build commands and main modules.”
• “Show me the staged memory changes so I can review them.”

What it gives back to you

You get back notes, lists, and short summaries pulled from your project memory, shown right in the chat. When something new is saved, you see a clear difference showing exactly which lines were added or changed. Nothing important is written until you approve it, so you always know what changed.
