Remembra Relay MCP Server

One agent stops. The next one already knows. When a connected agent's session ends, Remembra Relay saves a handoff (a session that did nothing leaves none). It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with ai memory, developer tools and self hosted and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

  "mcpServers": {
    "remembra-ai-remembra": {

      "args": [
        "remembra-mcp"
      ]
