What it does
A reference server that stores facts as a knowledge graph the assistant can read and update across sessions, so it remembers what matters between conversations.
Like any MCP server, Memory plugs into MCP-compatible assistants (such as Claude and other clients) so the model can use it as a tool , no custom integration code required.
