Target Reference Server

Caura Overview

The caura MCP server gives AI agents shared, governed memory for multi-agent and multi-tenant fleets. Agents use MCP tools to write knowledge and recall relevant memories, with visibility scopes, trust tiers, audit trails, and self-improving retrieval. Run it locally with Docker or connect to the managed endpoint at caura.ai/mcp. Reach for it when agents need to share operational knowledge without treating every memory as globally visible.

Primary Use Cases for Caura:

Share deployment lessons between specialized agents
Recall fleet-wide operational rules during incidents
Scope memories by agent, team, or organization
Run searchable local memory without an API key
