MCP & Agent Skills for Automated Documentation, and codebase conventions + context
Persistent agent memory via filesystem-native consolidation daemon. Agents read/write/search memory through MCP; a background daemon handles consolidation and extraction. Works with Kiro, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP client. npx mcp-agent-memory --setup

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Moxie Docs MCP Tools (12)
moxie.get_ai_context
Compact pre-edit briefing: repo status, verified commands, top conventions, open gaps, team notes. Read this first.
moxie.get_doc_impact
Given the paths you're about to change (and any you're deleting), returns the conventions, gaps, and existing docs whose evidence overlaps them - and flags net-new/undocumented surfaces.
moxie.get_api_context
Given paths you're about to touch, returns structured context for any API endpoints they map to: method, path, schema, and known consumers/features.
moxie.review_change
Self-review a change before opening the PR; returns a severity-ranked verdict (clean / warnings / must-fix) covering convention breaches, stale docs, undocumented surface, and broken references.
moxie.get_conventions
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).
Moxie Docs MCP is categorized under Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Mcp Agent Memory belongs to Knowledge & Memory using local stdio subprocess. Select Moxie Docs MCP when you need capabilities focused on knowledge & memory and Mcp Agent Memory when you require tools for knowledge & memory.
Discovered coding conventions, grouped by category, with confidence scores, agent guidance, and source-file citations.
moxie.search_docs
Semantic + keyword search over generated docs, conventions, gaps, and AI context.
moxie.get_doc_gaps
Unresolved documentation gaps with severity and the paths they concern.
moxie.get_documentation_opportunities
Recommended doc work: missing docs, drift repairs, and PR templates.
moxie.get_documentation_patterns
How the repository organizes and maintains its docs (where new docs belong).
moxie.list_docs
Paginated, section-grouped table of contents of every generated doc.
moxie.propose_doc_update
Add or update a doc as part of your current change; returns the target path + Markdown to write into your branch.
moxie.propose_doc_removal
Remove a Moxie-tracked doc your change makes obsolete; returns the path to delete in your branch.
Mcp Agent Memory Tools (4)
memory_read
Read the agent memory index (MEMORY.md) and optionally specific topic files. Call with no arguments to load only the lightweight index (cheap). Pass `topics` only when you need the full content of a specific topic file.
memory_append_session
Append a session summary to the sessions directory. The daemon will later extract durable memories from it. Call this at the end of meaningful exchanges. Keep summaries focused on durable findings and decisions (target 300-800 tokens), not play-by-play — longer summaries cost more during consolidation.
memory_search
Search memory files for a substring. Use this to recall specific facts without loading everything.
memory_daemon_status
Check whether the memory consolidation daemon is running. Reports if the daemon is not installed or not available on this platform.
