### Description (declared)

# ✨ CoreMemory-MCP

A local, MCP-compliant, long-term memory *service* for AI agents.

---

**[Read this in Chinese (中文文档)](README_zh.md)**

---

## 💡 What is CoreMemory-MCP?

CoreMemory-MCP is a background service that provides a simple and persistent long-term memory for any AI agent that supports the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**. It allows tools like **Cursor**, **Gemini-CLI**, and **Claude Code-Cli** to retain and recall information across sessions.

It runs as a standalone server on your local machine, acting as a language-agnostic, pluggable brain for your favorite AI tools.

## ⚙️ How It Works

The architecture is a standard client-server model based on the MCP standard:

`[Your Agent / IDE] <--> [MCP (JSON-RPC over HTTP)] <--> [Core Memory Service]`

1.  You run the Core Memory service.
2.  You configure your client application (e.g., Cursor, Gemini-CLI) to connect to the service.
3.  Your client application can then discover and execute the memory tools (`memory.add`, `memory.search`, etc.) provided by the service.

## 🚀 Installation

> ⚠️ **Note**: The package is not yet published to PyPI. The following are the planned installation methods.

It is recommended to install the package via pip once it is published:

```bash
pip install core-memory-mcp
```

Alternatively, for development, you can clone the repository and install it in editable mode:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/michaelfeng/CoreMemory-MCP.git
cd CoreMemory-MCP
pip install -e .
```

## ▶️ Running the Service

If you installed the package via pip, you can start the service by running the following command in your terminal:

```bash
core-memory-server
```

If you are running from the source code, you can also run the script directly:
```bash
python memory_service.py
```

You will see output indicating the service is running and ready to accept connections:
