mcp-memory-keeper

Overview

MCP Memory Keeper is a comprehensive solution for maintaining context across Claude Code sessions. It provides a persistent memory layer that stores work history, decisions, and progress, ensuring important information isn't lost when context limits are reached. The server offers rich features including file content caching, checkpoint systems, channel-based organization, and full-text search capabilities. It's particularly valuable for complex coding projects, long debugging sessions, and team collaboration where context preservation is critical.

FAQ

How does Memory Keeper prevent context loss?

Memory Keeper stores context information in a persistent SQLite database that survives session resets. When Claude's context fills up, you can save checkpoints and restore them later.

Can multiple Claude sessions share the same context?

Yes, Memory Keeper maintains a shared memory board that allows multiple Claude sessions to access the same context data, enabling collaborative workflows.
