Overview

This MCP server bridges the gap between Claude's auto-memory feature and other MCP-compatible clients. It exposes memory files stored in ~/.claude/memory/ as MCP resources and provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing these entries. The server supports listing, searching, adding, updating, and deleting memory files, with automatic rebuilding of the MEMORY.md index after each write operation. Memory files follow a structured format with YAML frontmatter containing metadata such as name, description, and type.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 5 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:Enabling non-Claude Code clients like Claude Desktop or Cursor to access Claude's memory system
you:Providing programmatic access to manage memory entries across different MCP-compatible AI assistants
you:Creating a persistent memory layer for personal AI assistants that can be shared across tools
you:What memory types are supported?
you:Can I use this with MCP clients other than Claude?

When to choose this

Choose this server if you're already using Claude's memory feature and need to manage it across multiple MCP clients, or if you want programmatic access to Claude's persistent memories.

When NOT to choose this

Don't choose this if you need memory storage outside of Claude's ecosystem, or if you require more sophisticated memory management with relationships or structured data.

FAQ

What memory types are supported?
The server supports four memory types: user (user role/preferences), feedback (corrections/validations), project (active work context), and reference (external resources).
Can I use this with MCP clients other than Claude?
