Memory Bank MCP

Memory Bank MCP is a server that automatically creates and updates memory banks for AI assistants. It tracks code changes in your project and provides context to AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Features

• Automatic Memory Bank Creation: Creates a memory bank if one doesn't exist
• Code Change Tracking: Tracks added, modified, and removed files in your project
• Context Updates on User Prompts: Updates the memory bank when a user sends a prompt to the AI assistant
• Manual Updates: Provides tools for manual updates of the memory bank

Installation

npm install -g memory-bank-mcp

Usage

CLI

# Start the MCP server (default)
memory-bank-mcp

# Initialize a new memory bank
memory-bank-mcp init

# List all files in the memory bank
memory-bank-mcp list

# Read all memory bank files and display their content
memory-bank-mcp read

# Start the MCP server with a specific project path
memory-bank-mcp serve --path /path/to/your/project

API

import { runMcpServer, createMemoryBank, readMemoryBank } from 'memory-bank-mcp';

// Start the MCP server
await runMcpServer({ projectPath: '/path/to/your/project' });

// Create a memory bank
createMemoryBank('/path/to/your/project');

// Read memory bank content
const content = readMemoryBank('/path/to/your/project');
