Memory Journal MCP Server

🎯 AI Context + Project Intelligence: Bridge disconnected AI sessions with persistent project memory and automatic session handoff — with full GitHub workflow integration.

GitHub • Wiki • Changelog • Release Article

🚀 Quick Deploy:

• npm Package - npm install -g memory-journal-mcp
• Docker Hub - Alpine-based with full semantic search

🧠 Stop Experiencing AI Amnesia

When managing large projects with AI assistance, you face a critical challenge:

• Thread Amnesia - Each new AI conversation starts from zero, unaware of previous work.
• Lost Context - Decisions, implementations, and learnings scattered across disconnected threads.
• Repeated Work - AI suggests solutions you've already tried or abandoned.
• Context Overload - Manually copying project history into every new conversation.

Memory Journal solves this by acting as your project's long-term memory, bridging the gap between fragmented AI sessions.

Experience true context-aware development:

• "Why did we choose SQLite over Postgres for this service last month?" (Semantic search)
• "Run the /issue-triage workflow on the top priority ticket in the Kanban board." (GitHub operations)
• "Who has been touching the auth module recently, and what's our team collaboration density?" (Team analytics)
• "I'm stuck on this database error. Raise a 'blocker' flag for @sarah so her agent sees it next session." (Hush Protocol)
• "Close issue #42 and log an entry explaining our architectural fix for the parsing bug." (Context lifecycles)
• "Draw a visual graph showing how my last 10 architectural decisions relate to each other." (Knowledge graph)

Tool Filtering

[!IMPORTANT] All shortcuts and tool groups include Code Mode (mj_execute_code) by default for token-efficient operations. To exclude it, add -codemode to your filter: --tool-filter starter,-codemode

Control which tools are exposed via MEMORY_JOURNAL_MCP_TOOL_FILTER (or CLI: --tool-filter):

Filter Syntax: shortcut or group or tool_name (whitelist mode) · -group (disable group) · -tool (disable tool) · +tool (re-enable after group disable)

Custom Selection: List individual tool names to create your own whitelist: --tool-filter "create_entry,search_entries,semantic_search"

Groups: core, search, analytics, relationships, io, admin, github, backup, team, codemode
