MCP Roo Memory Overview

mcasdfgf/mcp-roo-memory MCP server gives Roo Code agents persistent memory through graph storage, vector search, and workspace context tiers. It stores tasks, entities, facts, decisions, and relations, using SQLite for graph data and Qdrant with fastembed for semantic indexing. Tools support graph traversal, reasoning chains, task decomposition, superseding outdated knowledge, temporal walks, and session timelines. Reach for it when an agent needs memory across conversations and projects, while noting that the project is marked as an experimental proof of concept.
