AgentRecall Overview

Goldentrii/AgentRecall MCP server gives agents persistent memory across sessions, projects, and restarts. It records corrections as structured entries, retrieves relevant past context, and tracks whether later encounters are heeded or repeated. The MCP interface exposes five tools for starting sessions, saving memories, recalling context, checking records, and ending sessions. Reach for it when an agent needs a local-first correction history and a way to evaluate behavioral change rather than retrieval alone.

Primary Use Cases for AgentRecall:
  • Persist corrections across agent sessions
  • Load project context when a session starts
  • Search memories relevant to a current task
  • Track whether agents heed or repeat corrections
