What is Memory Bank MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that manages project-specific "memory bank" data using an SQLite database. It stores and retrieves contextual project information such as product background, decision logs, and progress updates, and is intended for AI-assisted development workflows using MCP-enabled applications like RooCode.

How to use Memory Bank MCP Server?

The server is run via npx @telagod/memory-bank-mcp-server and requires Node.js version 18.0.0 or higher. It is typically started automatically by an MCP host application (e.g., RooCode) configured through mcp_settings.json using the provided npx command and arguments.

Key features of Memory Bank MCP Server

• Project-based: separate memory bank per project path.
• SQLite storage in memory-bank/memory.db within the project directory.
• Modular MCP service encapsulating memory bank logic.
• Provides MCP tools: initialize_memory_bank, get_memory_bank_status, read_memory_bank_section, update_memory_bank_entry.

Use cases of Memory Bank MCP Server
