NMEMORY Overview

The nMEMORY MCP server gives coding agents local memory backed by a single SQLite file and exposed over MCP stdio. It stores facts only when each has a source and anchor, then returns recalled information with provenance, freshness, and relevance or explicitly abstains. A repository scan can compare stored notes with commit history and classify them as corroborated, drifted, or missing. Reach for it when session continuity matters but unsupported or fabricated recollections are unacceptable.

Primary Use Cases for NMEMORY:
  • Capture project decisions with source anchors
  • Recall prior coding context with provenance
  • Check stored notes against repository history
  • Keep agent memory on a local SQLite file
