Overview

Memory Bank MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation designed for remote memory bank management, inspired by the Cline Memory Bank. It transforms traditional file-based memory banks into a centralized service that allows for efficient management and access.

To use the Memory Bank MCP Server, install it via npm or Smithery, configure it in your MCP settings, and start utilizing the memory bank tools in your AI assistant.

Multi-Project Support: Manage multiple projects with project-specific directories and file structure enforcement. - Remote Accessibility: Full MCP protocol implementation with type-safe operations and proper error handling. - Core Operations: Read, write, and update memory bank files, list available projects, and validate project existence.

Centralized management of memory banks across multiple AI projects.
Secure and efficient access to memory bank files for AI assistants.
Facilitating collaboration on projects that require shared memory resources.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect Memory Bank MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory-bank-mcp-alioshr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory-bank-mcp-alioshr"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory-bank-mcp-alioshr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory-bank-mcp-alioshr"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory-bank-mcp-alioshr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory-bank-mcp-alioshr"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "memory-bank-mcp-alioshr": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory-bank-mcp-alioshr"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory-bank-mcp-alioshr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory-bank-mcp-alioshr"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory-bank-mcp-alioshr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory-bank-mcp-alioshr"
      ]
    }
  }
}
