Membase MCP Overview

unibaseio/membase-mcp connects AI clients to Membase, a shared memory layer for storing and retrieving facts, documents, and conversations. It can use the hosted Membase API or a local engine, with MCP access available through a local command or hosted HTTP endpoint. Reach for it when agents need persistent memory across models, tools, projects, or client applications. Containers help keep memories separated by project.

Primary Use Cases for Membase MCP:
  • Save project decisions for reuse across coding agents
  • Search prior conversations when switching AI clients
  • Ask questions about imported Claude or ChatGPT chats
  • Separate team or project knowledge with containers
