## 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…
