Frinus MCP Server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes the Agents Memory Service to Claude agents. This server provides 14 tools for memory management, knowledge graph operations, working memory, stream capture, and user authentication.
Overview
The MCP Memory Server acts as a bridge between Claude agents and the Memory Service REST API. It enables agents to:
- Store and retrieve memories (episodic, semantic, procedural)
- Search memories using semantic similarity
- Manage working memory for session context
- Capture interactions to the memory stream for learning
- Register agents and projects in the knowledge graph
Requirements
- Node.js 18+
- Memory Service running at
http://localhost:8001(configurable viaMEMORY_SERVICE_URL)

Type Checking
The project uses TypeScript 5.6+ with ES modules.
Memory Types Explained
| Type | Use Case | Example |
|---|---|---|
episodic | Record what happened | "Fixed bug in payment endpoint by adding null check" |
semantic | Store facts and knowledge | "The project uses PostgreSQL 15 with pgvector extension" |
procedural | Document how-to procedures | "To deploy: 1) Run tests, 2) Build Docker image, 3) Push to registry" |
Scope Levels
| Scope | Visibility | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
agent | Only the storing agent | Personal learnings, agent-specific procedures |
project | All agents in project | Shared documentation, project knowledge |
global | All agents everywhere | Universal best practices |
Best Practices
- Always read working memory first: Call
working_memory_getat the start of every task - Update working memory when done: Save progress with
working_memory_add - Capture important interactions: Use
stream_capturefor learnings - Use appropriate memory types: Match content to episodic/semantic/procedural
- Set importance scores: Higher scores (0.7+) for critical information
