Agent Memory MCP Server
Local, git-native project memory for AI coding agents. One MCP call in, structured memory updates out - current task state, decisions, conventions, pitfalls, per-module facts. Branch-aware. Secret-safe. Byte-preserving.
People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Go.

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