Overview

Simple Memory Extension MCP Server is a server designed to extend the context window and memory of agents, allowing users to store and recall important information while coding or working on projects.

To use the server, install the necessary packages and start the server using the command: npm install followed by npm start. You can then interact with the server to manage context items and namespaces.

Store and retrieve context items with ease. - Create and manage namespaces for better organization. - Perform semantic searches to find context items based on meaning.

Storing progress and key moments while developing large features.
Managing context for AI agents that require memory.
Facilitating vibe coding by recalling important changes or notes.
