Central Intelligence Overview

This MCP server provides persistent memory for AI agents, enabling them to store, recall, and share information across sessions using semantic search with vector embeddings. It supports scoped memories for agents, users, and organizations, ensuring facts are returned verbatim without rewriting or hallucination. It integrates with various AI clients like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf and is suited for scenarios where agents need long-term context retention and multi-agent collaboration.
