At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Memocall
Knowledge & Memory · Local stdio
Quality: 59/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
YourMemory
Knowledge & Memory · Local stdio
Quality: 59/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Memocall if you need specialized Knowledge & Memory tools running via a local process. Choose YourMemory if your workspace requires Knowledge & Memory integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.

Primary tools included: Ebbinghaus forgetting-curve memory decay and pruning, Hybrid retrieval combining BM25, vector embeddings, and entity graph, Consolidation of related facts into summaries to reduce bloat.
Recall past Claude Code conversations from any project. Lists and searches your sessions, then loads one on demand as clean, compact Markdown — with outline, turn-range, and in-session search for large sessions. Read-only over local /.claude transcripts; collapses tool calls to stay under the context cap. npx -y memocall
Persistent memory for AI agents with Ebbinghaus forgetting-curve decay, hybrid BM25+vector retrieval, and entity graph for multi-hop reasoning. Memories auto-prune by importance and recall rate. Built-in browser dashboard, multi-agent support, and yourmemory ask for zero-API-call local queries. pip install yourmemory
Category & Scope
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Memocall Tools (5)
list_sessions
List your recent Claude Code conversations across ALL projects, grouped by project directory. Use this to answer 'what sessions have I worked on recently?' or to find a past session before loading it. Returns each session's title, date, turn count, and id.
search_sessions
Search your past Claude Code conversations (across all projects) by keyword — matches session titles, first messages, and project paths. Use when the user refers to a past conversation by topic (e.g. 'the session where we set up the license system'). Returns matching sessions with their ids.
load_session
Load the context of a past Claude Code conversation as compact Markdown (human turns, collapsed tool-call summaries, and assistant replies — tool outputs are elided). Provide either a session `id` (from list_sessions/search_sessions) or a free-text `query` to find it. Use this to pull a previous conversation's context into the current session. For a very large session, either pass `turns` to load a specific window (turn numbers come from session_outline), or prefer session_outline / search_in_session.
session_outline
Get a quick MAP of a past Claude Code conversation: the numbered list of the user's prompts, one line each. Very cheap even for huge sessions. Use this to see what a session covered, or to find which turn numbers to then load with load_session's `turns`. Identify the session by `id` or free-text `query`.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Memocall is categorized under Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, YourMemory belongs to Knowledge & Memory using local stdio subprocess. Select Memocall when you need capabilities focused on knowledge & memory and YourMemory when you require tools for knowledge & memory.
Find specific turns WITHIN one past Claude Code conversation by keyword — returns only the matching turns (with their turn numbers). Use when the user asks what was decided or discussed about a topic inside a known or large session (e.g. 'what did we decide about retries in that session'). Pick the session by `id` or `session` (free-text); `query` is the keyword to find inside it.
