Provena Agent Memory MCP Server

Evidence-backed memory for AI agents. Know what an agent remembers - and why. Provena gives Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and other MCP clients persistent memory with a traceable source. It stores what was said separately from what an agent inferred, so a remembered claim can be explained, reviewed, and scoped instead of becoming an opaque vector match.

People who work with Provena and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

Set PROVENA_API_URL, PROVENA_API_KEY, PROVENA_SCOPE_ID before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add admiralpunk-provena -- uvx provena-agent-memory

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "admiralpunk-provena": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "provena-agent-memory"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-09-21 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package provena-agent-memory - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.admiralpunk is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
