Agenticmemory Overview

The agenticmemory MCP server gives AI agents persistent storage for conversation history, durable key-value context, long-term entries, semantic search, and queues. It runs locally through the `agmry` CLI over stdio or connects remotely over SSE, using an API key to access shared spaces. Reach for it when agents need to retain decisions between sessions, coordinate work, or share memory across machines and projects. Zero-knowledge spaces support client-side encryption, but encrypted content cannot be semantically searched.

Primary Use Cases for Agenticmemory:
  • Persist decisions and preferences across agent sessions
  • Search prior project discussions and deployment context
  • Share runbooks and memory across multiple agents
  • Queue work between agents without extra infrastructure
