MCP server de agent-memory-sqlite

agent-memory-sqlite

Persistent, searchable memory for coding agents, exposed as an MCP server. Your agent saves the decisions and conventions it learns, and recalls them in the next session instead of rediscovering them.

• One SQLite file, shared safely by every agent session (WAL mode)
• Zero native dependencies: Node's built-in node:sqlite with FTS5, nothing to compile on Windows, macOS or Linux
• Ranked recall: BM25 relevance, boosted by recency, scoped per project
• Works with any MCP client: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf

Quick start

Requires Node 24+.

Claude Code

claude mcp add memory -- npx -y github:Urthella/agent-memory-sqlite

Cursor / Claude Desktop (mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:Urthella/agent-memory-sqlite"] }
  }
}

Then just work: tell the agent "remember that we deploy on Vercel", and ask "what do we know about deploys?" in a later session.

Tools

Tool	What it does
remember	Save a fact, decision or convention, with optional tags. Saving the same text again refreshes it instead of duplicating.
recall	Keyword search, best match first. Prefix matching, so lock finds locks.
recent	The latest saved or refreshed memories.
forget	Delete a memory by its #id.

Every tool takes an optional project. It defaults to the name of the directory the agent runs in; "*" searches all projects.

How it works

  A[Coding agent] -- MCP over stdio --> S[server.ts]
  S --> M[(memories table)]
  M -- insert/update/delete triggers --> F[(FTS5 index)]
  S -- MATCH + bm25 --> F

• Storage: a plain memories table plus an external-content FTS5 index kept in sync by triggers, so text is stored once and every write path updates search.
• Dedup: a SHA-256 of the text is unique per project; saving it again only bumps updated_at.
• Safe queries: free text is reduced to quoted prefix terms ("redis"* OR "lua"*), so punctuation and FTS operators in a question can't break the query.
• Ranking: the top BM25 hits are reranked by relevance × (1 + recency), where recency halves every 30 days.
• Accents: the tokenizer folds diacritics, so agac finds ağaç.

Configuration

Variable	Default
AGENT_MEMORY_DB	~/.agent-memory/memory.db
AGENT_MEMORY_PROJECT	name of the current directory

Develop

npm ci        # also builds dist/
npm test      # node --test, runs the .ts sources directly

nix develop (or direnv) gives you the same Node 24 toolchain. CI runs on Linux, macOS and Windows.
