📌Overview

Purpose: To manage project documentation and maintain consistent project knowledge across sessions using global and branch-specific memory banks.

Overview: The Memory Bank MCP Server 2.2.1 enables developers to effectively manage and organize project-related documentation, ensuring that information is preserved and easily accessible across different branches of development. The latest version includes enhancements such as improved JSON Patch support, CLI workspace options, and various system improvements.

Key Features:

  • Enhanced JSON Patch Implementation: Delivers an updated adapter for more reliable document updates, improved error reporting, and comprehensive documentation for handling patch operations.

  • CLI Workspace Option Enhancement: Allows users to specify the root directory for projects directly via the command line, facilitating smoother project management and navigation.

Memory Bank MCP Server

A Memory Bank implementation for managing project documentation and context across sessions using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This server helps AI agents like Claude maintain consistent project knowledge through global and branch-specific memory banks stored in a structured JSON format.

This project is inspired by Cline Memory Bank from the nickbaumann98/cline_docs repository.

Packages

This repository is a monorepo managed with Yarn Workspaces. It contains the following packages:

  • packages/mcp: The core MCP server implementation containing the main logic for handling memory bank operations, MCP tool execution, and server startup.
  • packages/schemas: Defines the JSON schemas used for memory bank documents (e.g., memory_document_v2).
  • packages/vscode-extension: A VSCode extension providing integration with the Memory Bank MCP server (details TBD).

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (see .tool-versions for recommended version)
  • Yarn (v1.x)

Installation

Clone the repository and install dependencies from the root directory:

git clone https://github.com/t3ta/memory-bank-mcp-server.git
cd memory-bank-mcp-server
yarn install

Running the MCP Server

You can run the MCP server directly from the monorepo:

# From the monorepo root directory
yarn workspace @memory-bank/mcp start --docs /path/to/your/docs

Replace /path/to/your/docs with the actual path to your project's documentation directory (where global-memory-bank and branch-memory-bank will reside or be created).

See the packages/mcp README for more details on running the server and its options.

Development

  • Build all packages: yarn build
  • Run tests for all packages: yarn test
  • Lint code: yarn lint

Refer to the README file within each package directory for package-specific development instructions.
