About Claude Memory MCP Server
Mooncite is a local memory MCP server that lets coding agents recall past context from Pi, OMP, Claude Code, Codex, and ChatGPT history on the same machine. Its inspect tool checks each citation against the original source file before an agent relies on it.
Key features
- 01Searches authorized local history sources
- 02Inspects citations against current source bytes
- 03Reports coverage and health without transcript text
- 04Combines lexical search with local embeddings
Use cases
- 01Recovering earlier context without repeating explanations
- 02Verifying a cited passage before relying on it
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEMooncite
Mooncite lets coding agents recover past context without asking you to explain it again. It searches authorized Pi, OMP, Claude Code, Codex, and ChatGPT history stored on this machine. Before an agent relies on a result, mooncite_inspect checks the citation against the original file. That confirms where the text came from. It does not prove the text is still true.
Mooncite was formerly Claude Memory MCP. The repository keeps its old claude-memory-mcp URL.

Install
Mooncite requires Linux with procfs, Node.js 24 or newer, npm, and access to GitHub. Packaged local embeddings are Linux x64 only. Other Linux architectures still install and search lexically.
npx --yes github:WhenMoon-afk/claude-memory-mcp#v4.0.7 install
Tagged v4.0.7 is the current stable release. After installation, check the launcher. Then fully restart or reload each client whose registration is exact:
"$HOME/.local/bin/mooncite" status
The installer configures available Pi, OMP, Codex, and Claude Code clients. ChatGPT is a source, not a client. See operations for source setup, ChatGPT exports, removal commands, and quick fixes.
First search
Recall runs inside a configured client. It is not a shell command. Give the agent one distinctive phrase:
Call
mooncite_recallwith "". Start without a scope. If it returns a candidate, inspect that candidate'sevidence_idwithmooncite_inspect. Treatverifiedas proof that the cited text still matches its source file. It does not prove the text is true.
Mooncite exposes exactly three tools:
mooncite_recallsearches bounded local evidence. An unquoted query of at least two terms may add local embedding matches after no strong lexical hit.mooncite_inspectchecks a locator against current source bytes.mooncite_statusreports coverage and health without transcript text.

Mooncite never writes source history. Text returned through MCP becomes model context and is subject to that model provider's data handling.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
