Overview

What is Memory Bank MCP Server?

Memory Bank MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for remote memory bank management, inspired by Cline Memory Bank. It transforms file-based memory banks into a centralized service, offering remote access, multi‑project management, consistent file structure, and project isolation.

How to use Memory Bank MCP Server?

Configure the server in your MCP client’s settings (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, or Roo Code) by setting the environment variable MEMORY_BANK_ROOT to the directory where project memory banks are stored. Use npx -y @allpepper/memory-bank-mcp as the command. After configuration, your AI assistant can invoke tools like memory_bank_read, memory_bank_write, memory_bank_update, list_projects, and list_project_files.

Key features of Memory Bank MCP Server

  • Multi‑project support with project‑specific directories and file structure enforcement
  • Remote accessibility via full MCP protocol with type‑safe operations
  • Core operations: read, write, update, list projects, and list project files
  • Project isolation with path traversal prevention
  • Security through proper error handling and isolated directories

Use cases of Memory Bank MCP Server

  • Centralizing memory bank files for multiple projects in one service
  • Providing remote AI assistants with consistent access to project documentation
  • Maintaining structured and validated memory bank files across teams
  • Enabling safe read‑only operations for verification and auditing

FAQ from Memory Bank MCP Server

How do I install Memory Bank MCP Server?

You can install it automatically via Smithery (npx -y @smithery/cli install @alioshr/memory-bank-mcp --client claude) or manually by adding the npx command to your MCP client configuration.

What configuration is required?

Set the MEMORY_BANK_ROOT environment variable to the absolute path of the directory where project memory banks are stored. Optionally, you can define autoApprove operations to skip user prompts for trusted actions.

Which MCP clients are supported?

The server works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and Roo Code. Each client requires a slightly different configuration file path and format, as described in the README.

What operations can I use?

The server provides five tools: memory_bank_read, memory_bank_write, memory_bank_update, list_projects, and list_project_files. These cover reading, creating, and updating memory bank files, as well as enumerating projects and project files.
