MCP Tools
Once the engine is wired into your editor (see Installer &
doctor), these tools appear in the client’s tool list.
Tool names use underscores (memory_observe, not memory.observe).
The one you’ll use most is memory_observe — feed it raw text and the engine
decides what’s worth keeping. A good default is to call it after every user
message.
Core
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
memory_observe | Feed raw text; the engine extracts and saves what’s worth keeping. The primary tool — call it after every user message. |
memory_save | Write an explicit memory item (scope, type, content, importance). |
memory_search | Search stored memories by scope/project + content match. |
memory_recall | Fetch a single memory item by id (reinforces it on access). Not a semantic search. |
memory_list | Enumerate the most-recent items in a scope. |
Lifecycle & correction
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
memory_extract_pending | Return candidate memories awaiting confirmation. |
memory_commit_extraction | Confirm and persist extracted candidates. |
memory_supersede | Replace a stale memory with a corrected version (keeps provenance). |
memory_delete | Delete a memory item. |
Prediction & context
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
memory_predict | Forecast the next likely event for a subject, with calibrated confidence. |
memory_build_context | Assemble a context bundle (memories + patterns + predictions) for a subject. |
memory_prefetch_related | Spreading-activation retrieval — surface memories linked to the current working set. |
Knowledge graph
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
memory_query_graph | Query entities and edges in the knowledge graph. |
memory_graph_reason | Multi-hop reasoning over the knowledge graph. |
Diagnostics
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
memory_stats | Counts and aggregates for the store. |
The exact tool set depends on your engine version. Always trust the tool list your connected client reports.
