What is Ordali memory and how does it differ from regular notes?

Ordali memory is a SQLite-backed system designed to store structured project context, decisions, and governance traces—not just free-form notes. It's built to maintain queryable, linked records of how and why project decisions were made.

How do I install and set up the mcp-ordali-memory server?

Install via npm with `npx @rdrco/mcp-ordali-memory@1.0.1`. The server runs over stdio transport and requires a SQLite database file to store memory and governance traces.

Can I query memory entries by date, tag, or governance type?

Yes—the SQLite backend supports structured queries. You can filter by timestamps, link entries to governance traces, and retrieve decision history. Check the server documentation for the full query schema.

Is there a cost to use this MCP server?

No—mcp-ordali-memory is an open-source npm package. You run it locally; there are no per-query or subscription fees.

What happens if my SQLite database file is lost or corrupted?

Your memory and governance traces are stored in the SQLite file you specify. Back it up regularly like any critical database. If corrupted, you'll need to restore from a backup or rebuild from source records.
