# IDE Memory MCP <p align="center"> <img src="https://github.com/prasanna00019/MCP-ToolHub/raw/main/IDE-Memory-MCP/logo.png" alt="IDE Memory MCP" width="350"/> </p> > **Cross-IDE persistent memory for AI coding agents** — your AI remembers every project, across every IDE. [](https://www.python.org/downloads/) [](LICENSE) [](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) --- ## The Problem Every time you open a project in a new IDE or start a fresh AI conversation, your AI assistant forgets everything: - What the project does - Architecture decisions you've made - What you're currently working on - Your progress and milestones You end up repeating yourself. Every. Single. Time. ## The Solution **IDE Memory MCP** gives AI coding agents a **persistent memory layer** that works across any IDE supporting the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/). Write project context once — the AI remembers it everywhere. ``` Cursor ←──→ IDE Memory MCP ←──→ VS Code ↑ ↓ ↑ └── same project memory ────────┘ ``` --- ## Key Features - **Cross-IDE Memory** — Project context persists across Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, and any MCP-compatible IDE - **Context-Optimized** — Default reads return a compact summary table, not a context-window-destroying content dump. The AI loads only what it needs. - **Smart Warnings** — Automatically detects stale sections (>7 days), oversized content (>10k chars), and suggests pruning when memory gets old (>30 days) - **Agent Prompts** — Built-in MCP prompts guide the AI on how to start sessions, bootstrap memory for new projects, and update memory after changes - **Smart Project Matching** — Recognizes projects by path or git remote URL. Move folders, switch machines — your memory follows. - **Sec…
