The Memory Bank MCP Server transforms traditional file-based memory banks into a centralized service that:

Provides remote access to memory bank files via MCP protocol
Enables multi-project memory bank management
Maintains consistent file structure and validation
Ensures proper isolation between project memory banks

Installation

To install Memory Bank Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @alioshr/memory-bank-mcp --client claude

This will set up the MCP server configuration automatically. Alternatively, you can configure the server manually as described in the Configuration section below.

Quick Start

Configure the MCP server in your settings (see Configuration section below)
Start using the memory bank tools in your AI assistant

Using with Cline/Roo Code

The memory bank MCP server needs to be configured in your Cline MCP settings file. The location depends on your setup:

For Cline extension: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
For Roo Code VS Code extension: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/rooveterinaryinc.roo-cline/settings/mcp_settings.json

Add the following configuration to your MCP settings:

{
  "allpepper-memory-bank": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@allpepper/memory-bank-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "MEMORY_BANK_ROOT": "<path-to-bank>"
    },
    "disabled": false,
    "autoApprove": [
