evermemos-mcp 0.4.1

MCP Server that brings long-term memory to AI coding tools via EverMemOS

evermemos-mcp

English | 简体中文

Universal long-term memory layer for AI coding assistants, powered by EverMemOS.

Built for the Memory Genesis Competition 2026 — Track 2: Platform Plugins

evermemos-mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives any compatible AI client — Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Cherry Studio, and more — persistent, cross-session memory. It bridges the gap between stateless AI conversations and the contextual awareness that real-world workflows demand.

Why This Exists

AI coding assistants forget everything between sessions. You explain your architecture, your preferences, your project context — and next session, it's all gone. evermemos-mcp solves this by providing a Memory → Reasoning → Action loop:

1. Remember — Store decisions, preferences, and context as you work
2. Recall — Retrieve relevant memories using hybrid search (keyword + vector + semantic)
3. Brief — Get a full context restoration at the start of any new session

All memories are organized into isolated spaces (e.g. coding:my-app, study:ml-notes, chat:daily), so different projects and workflows never bleed into each other.

Features

Tool	Description
list_spaces	Discover available memory spaces
remember	Store information into long-term memory (async extraction)
recall	Search memories with 6 retrieval strategies (keyword, hybrid, vector, rrf, agentic, auto)
briefing	Get a structured context briefing: profile + episodes + facts + foresights
forget	Delete specific memories by ID (permanent, idempotent)
fetch_history	Paginate through memory timeline by type

Key Capabilities

• Space isolation — space_id (<domain>:<slug>) keeps memories separated by project or topic
• Multi-space search — Query up to 10 spaces in a single recall call with automatic source attribution
• Traceable citations — Every result includes memory_type, snippet, timestamp, score, and optional source_message_id
• Multi-user support — Optional user_id filtering for shared spaces
• Conversation metadata sync — Automatic conversation-meta integration with EverMemOS Cloud
• Robust error handling — Retry with backoff (429 / 5xx), GET body fallback for proxy/WAF compatibility, and structured error codes

Quick Start

Get your API key from EverMemOS Cloud.

Option A: Install from PyPI (recommended)

No clone needed — just add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "evermemos-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["evermemos-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "EVERMEMOS_API_KEY": "your-key-here",
        "EVERMEMOS_USER_ID": "mcp-user"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run directly from the command line:

uvx evermemos-mcp

Option B: Install from source

git clone https://github.com/tt-a1i/evermemos-mcp.git
cd evermemos-mcp
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set your EVERMEMOS_API_KEY
uv run evermemos-mcp

MCP client config for source installs:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "evermemos-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--directory",
        "/absolute/path/to/evermemos-mcp",
        "evermemos-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "EVERMEMOS_API_KEY": "your-key-here",
        "EVERMEMOS_USER_ID": "mcp-user"
      }
    }
  }
}

Client-specific setup guides (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Cherry Studio) are in docs/05-client-integrations.md.

       EverMemOS Cloud API

• Cloud-first — All memories live in EverMemOS Cloud. No local persistence, no state to lose.
• Process-local cache — Space catalog is cached in-memory for fast lookups, recovered from Cloud on startup.
• Async extraction — remember queues content for AI-powered extraction. Memories become searchable after processing.

Use Cases

Coding: Persistent Architecture Context

You: remember that we chose PostgreSQL over MongoDB because our data is highly relational
     [space_id: coding:my-saas]

-- next day, new session --

You: what database did we choose and why?
     → recall finds: "Chose PostgreSQL over MongoDB — highly relational data model"

Study: Cross-Session Learning Notes

You: remember: bias-variance tradeoff — high bias = underfitting, high variance = overfitting
     [space_id: study:ml-notes]

-- later --

You: briefing for study:ml-notes
     → Returns: profile (technical skills), recent episodes, key facts, foresights

Chat: Personal Preferences

You: remember I prefer dark mode, vim keybindings, and concise responses
     [space_id: chat:preferences]

-- any future session --

You: recall my UI preferences
     → "Prefers dark mode, vim keybindings, concise responses"
