# Memory Bank MCP Server This MCP server helps to build structured documentation system based on [Cline's Memory Bank pattern](https://docs.cline.bot/improving-your-prompting-skills/cline-memory-bank) for context preservation in AI assistant environments. Powered by [Enlighter](https://enlightby.ai) and [Hyperskill](https://hyperskill.org). Learn how to setup and use Memory Bank directly in Cursor: http://enlightby.ai/projects/37 [](https://smithery.ai/server/@ipospelov/mcp-memory-bank) ## Features - Get detailed information about Memory Bank structure - Generate templates for Memory Bank files - Analyze project and provide suggestions for Memory Bank content ## Running the Server There are a few options to use this MCP server: ### With UVX Add this to your mcp.json config file: \`\`\`json \{ "mcpServers": \{ "mcp-memory-bank": \{ "command": "uvx", "args": [ "--from", "git+https://github.com/ipospelov/mcp-memory-bank", "mcp_memory_bank" ] \} \} \} \`\`\` ### With [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@ipospelov/mcp-memory-bank) Add this to your mcp.json config file: \`\`\`json \{ "mcpServers": \{ "memory-bank": \{ "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@smithery/cli@latest", "run", "@ipospelov/mcp-memory-bank", "--key", "your_smithery_key" ] \} \} \} \`\`\` ### With Docker Add this to your mcp.json config file: \`\`\`json \{ "mcpServers": \{ "memory-bank": \{ "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "19283744/mcp-memory-bank:latest" ] \} \} \} \`\`\` ### Manually Clone repository and run the following commands: \`\`\`bash python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate pip install -r requirements.txt \`\`\` Then add this to your mcp.json config file: \`\`\`json \{ "mcpServers": \{ "memory-bank": \{ "command": "python", "args": ["src/mcp_memory_bank/main.py"] \} \} \} \`\`\` ## Usage Example Ask Cursor or any other AI code assistant with Memory Bank MCP: \`\`\` Create memory bank for To Do list application with your tools \`\`\` Provide more context to get better results. ## Available Tools ### get_memory_bank_structure Returns a detailed description of the Memory Bank file structure. ### generate_memory_bank_template Returns a template for a specific Memory Bank file. Example: \`\`\`json \{ "file_name": "projectbrief.md" \} \`\`\` ### analyze_project_summary Analyzes a project summary and provides suggestions for Memory Bank content. Example: \`\`\`json \{ "project_summary": "Building a React web app for inventory management with barcode scanning" \} \`\`\` ## Memory Bank Structure The Memory Bank consists of core files and optional context files, all in Markdown format: ### Core Files (Required) 1. \`projectbrief.md\` - Foundation document that shapes all other files 2. \`productContext.md\` - Explains why the project exists, problems being solved 3. \`activeContext.md\` - Current work focus, recent changes, next steps 4. \`systemPatterns.md\` - System architecture, technical decisions, design patterns 5. \`techContext.md\` - Technologies used, development setup, constraints 6. \`progress.md\` - What works, what's left to build 7. \`memory_bank_instructions.md\` - How to work with Memory Bank, instructtions for AI-agent
