MemoFS MCP Server Overview

MemoFS MCP Server MCP server gives AI agents persistent memory and a virtual filesystem backed by a local `.memofs/` directory.

Local mode works without a cloud account, while hybrid mode can synchronize with MemoFS Cloud. Reach for it when an agent needs durable, project-scoped memory across sessions or a file-based memory store for custom Node.js runtimes.

Primary Use Cases for MemoFS MCP Server:

Persist project facts across agent sessions
Recall notes from a local memory workspace
Embed file-backed memory in a Node.js agent
Create and restore memory snapshots
