alioshr/memory-bank-mcp

npx -y @smithery/cli install @alioshr/memory-bank-mcp --client claude   # Smithery one-shot for Claude Desktop
Manual config: `npx -y @allpepper/memory-bank-mcp` with env MEMORY_BANK_ROOT=<path-to-bank>
docker build -t memory-bank-mcp:local .   # Docker option

Usage

• •Configure the server in your MCP settings (Claude Desktop `claude_desktop_config.json`, Claude Code `~/.claude.json`, Cline/Roo Code mcp_settings.json, or Cursor) with the `MEMORY_BANK_ROOT` env var pointing at the directory where project memory banks are stored.
• •Set `autoApprove`/`alwaysAllow` to memory_bank_read, memory_bank_write, memory_bank_update, list_projects, list_project_files for no-prompt operation.
• •Use the memory bank tools from your AI assistant for persistent project context across sessions.

Key features

• ✓Multi-project support: per-project directories, project listing, file listing, project existence validation.
• ✓Remote accessibility over the full MCP protocol with type-safe operations and proper error handling.
• ✓Security through project isolation and path traversal prevention; safe read-only operations.
• ✓Inspired by Cline Memory Bank, extended with remote capabilities and multi-project management.

Best for

Centralized, multi-project persistent 'memory bank' context for AI coding agents (Cline, Claude, Cursor) that needs to be shared or isolated per project.

Caveats

• ⚠Requires configuring the `MEMORY_BANK_ROOT` environment variable — without it the server has no storage location.
• ⚠npm package is published as @allpepper/memory-bank-mcp (differs from the repo name).
