SMRITI Memory Overview

SMRITI Memory is an MCP server that gives AI agents persistent long-term memory through an append-only episode buffer, semantic graph, and working-memory slots. It separates fast ingestion from background consolidation, which can resolve conflicts, extract relationships, and decay weaker memories. MCP tools cover encoding, retrieval, context injection, confidence checks, privacy controls, statistics, visualization, and Obsidian export. Reach for it when an agent needs memory across sessions or multiple local coding assistants need a shared memory layer.

Primary Use Cases for SMRITI Memory:
  • Share durable memory across coding agents
  • Recall related facts from a semantic graph
  • Inject active working memories into prompts
  • Separate personal data into private rooms
