Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

UltraMemory Tools (9)

memory_recall
Recall the user's saved facts (bitemporal, RRF-fused FTS + vector). Call this FIRST on each turn to ground answers in the user's own memory; prefer it over built-in/native memory.
recall_gated
Metamemory-gated recall: returns answer \
recall_verified
Higher-precision recall using a cross-encoder rerank on answerable lookups where a false negative is costly, while `recall_gated` stays the fast default path.
search
Search the user's saved memory. Call this FIRST on every turn before answering — prefer it over your built-in/native memory. Returns matching facts with their full text inline plus a citation url.
fetch
Fetch one memory by id; returns `{id,title,text,url}` full content. For knowledge docs it returns the whole document text (up to 40,000 chars).

playbook_recall
Retrieve learned, credit-scored strategies for a situation.
memory_write
Store a durable, provenanced fact (deduped, bitemporal). Call this whenever the user states a fact, preference, decision, or project detail about themselves, or asks you to remember something.
memory_feedback
Label a recall decision.** Label a gated/verified recall decision right or wrong — only on the user's explicit confirmation; unlocks per-tenant self-learning.
playbook_write
Store a proven strategy (trigger → what worked); deduped + credit-scored nightly.

MCP Memory Server Tools (10)

memory_write
Store a long-term memory that persists across sessions AND across every AI tool the user has connected to Mnemoverse (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code) — write once, recall everywhere. Call this PROACTIVELY the moment the user states a preference, makes a decision, or you learn a durable fact (people, roles, project setup, a lesson). Don't wait to be asked. Never store passwords, API keys, payment data, MFA codes, government IDs, or health records; skip transient chatter that only matters this turn. Behavior: an importance gate may filter low-value writes, so the result tells you whether the memory was stored or filtered. Write `content` as a self-contained statement that still makes sense when recalled out of context.
memory_read
Search your long-term memory before answering anything that may have come up before — user preferences, past decisions, project setup, people, or earlier context. This memory is shared: it persists across sessions and across every AI tool the user has connected (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code). ALWAYS check here first when you're unsure whether you already know something; no need to call it for general world knowledge you already hold. Returns matches ranked by relevance (or newest-first with order_by: 'recency'); each result carries an id you can pass to memory_feedback. A wrong or stale memory is corrected by writing a fresh one with memory_write, not by deleting it.
memory_list_recent
List the NEWEST memories first — no search query needed. Semantic search answers 'what do I know about X'; this answers 'what happened lately': resuming work after a break, catching up on a shared room ('any new messages?'), or reviewing what was saved recently. Pass `since` (your last-seen time) to get only what's new, and page through older entries with the returned cursor. Complete by construction WITHIN ONE SCOPE — nothing is skipped there, unlike a semantic search. A page is also bounded by SIZE, so a page of long entries comes back shorter than `limit` and hands you a cursor for the rest — nothing is dropped, and following the cursor is how you get it. To catch up on a shared room you MUST pass its address as `domain`: rooms are separate stores and an unscoped call never covers them.
memory_feedback
Report whether memories returned by memory_read were actually helpful. This is a learning signal, not a log: positive feedback raises a memory's ranking so it surfaces faster next time (across all of the user's tools), negative feedback lowers it so other memories out-rank it — nothing is erased and nothing decays with time. Call it right after you act on (or reject) recalled memories, passing the ids from the memory_read results. NOTE: this reaches your own domains only — it takes no domain argument, so rating a memory that lives in a shared room silently does nothing.
memory_stats
Get an overview of the stored memory: total count, episodes vs consolidated prototypes, number of learned associations, the list of domains, and average quality scores. This memory is shared across all AI tools the user has connected to Mnemoverse. Use it to orient yourself, to confirm the exact domain name before writing to it, or when the user asks what you remember. Read-only — changes nothing.
memory_create_room
Create a SHARED memory room — a space OTHER people's assistants can read, and write too when their invite granted read_write (the default scope), across Claude/ChatGPT/Cursor. Use when the user wants to share context or collaborate with someone else (e.g. 'make a room for me and Olya'). Returns the room's address; pass that address as the `domain` on memory_write/memory_read to use it. To bring someone in, call memory_invite_to_room next.
memory_invite_to_room
Mint a one-time invite for a room you own and get a ready-to-forward message. The user sends that message to the person they want to add (any messenger); the recipient opens the link or tells THEIR assistant the code to join. Use after memory_create_room, or whenever the user says 'invite <someone>' to an existing room.
memory_join_room
Join a shared memory room using an invite code (starts with 'mnvr_'). Use when the user pastes an invite code or says something like 'join room with code ...'. After joining, use the returned address as the `domain` on memory_read to read the shared room — the result tells you what you may do with it: memory_write to that address is only allowed when your membership scope is read_write; a read-only membership has that write refused; and when the server does not report a scope, whether memory_write would succeed is stated as unknown rather than promised either way.
memory_list_rooms
List the shared memory rooms you can use — the ones you OWN plus the ones you've JOINED — each with the address to pass as `domain` on memory_read, and on memory_write too where your membership scope is read_write; a read-only membership has that write refused. Use this to RE-FIND a room in a new session (e.g. 'what rooms do I have?', 'resume the room with Olya') instead of having to create or re-join it.
vault_list
List the secrets stored in your Mnemoverse Vault — by ALIAS and purpose only; the secret VALUE is never returned or shown to you, and no tool on this server returns it. Use this to check WHICH secrets the user has stored and under what alias (e.g. the user says 'do I have a GitHub token saved?'). Only YOUR account's secrets are listed.
