Overview
Memory Bank MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to manage Memory Banks, which are structured repositories of information that help AI assistants maintain context and track progress across multiple sessions.
To use Memory Bank MCP, you can install it via npm or run it directly using npx. You can initialize a Memory Bank, track progress, log decisions, and switch modes using command line instructions.
- Memory Bank Management: Initialize, find, and manage Memory Banks - File Operations: Read and write files in Memory Banks - Progress Tracking: Track progress and update Memory Bank files - Decision Logging: Log important decisions with context and alternatives - Active Context Management: Maintain and update active context information - Mode Support: Detect and use .clinerules files for mode-specific behavior - Robust Error Handling: Gracefully handle errors and continue operation when possible
- Managing project context for AI assistants
- Tracking development progress in software projects
- Logging decisions made during project development
- Maintaining context across multiple AI interactions
