About Penfield Memory

Penfield Memory provides persistent memory and knowledge graphs for AI agents across sessions. It is for people using MCP-compatible tools, with hybrid search and context checkpoints to retain and revisit information across connected tools.

Key features

  1. 01Store and update persistent memories
  2. 02Hybrid keyword, semantic, and graph search
  3. 03Connect and explore knowledge graphs
  4. 04Save and restore context checkpoints
  5. 05Store and retrieve artifacts

Use cases

  1. 01Carry preferences and conversation context across sessions
  2. 02Track investigations and decisions across coding sessions
  3. 03Organize research ideas and checkpoint long projects

MCP support

Provides a remote MCP server with tools for memory, knowledge graphs, context management, and artifacts. It can connect with MCP-compatible tools across platforms.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

From the project README

Penfield

Persistent memory for AI agents. Store decisions, preferences, and context that survive across sessions. Build knowledge graphs that compound over time. Works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and any MCP-compatible tool.


Quick Start

Claude (Desktop, Mobile, Web)

Add as a custom connector in Settings → Connectors:

Name: Penfield
Remote MCP server URL: https://mcp.penfield.app
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user penfield https://mcp.penfield.app
Cursor

One-click install:

Install Penfield in Cursor

Cut and paste into your browser:

cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=Penfield&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjoibnB4IiwiYXJncyI6WyIteSIsIm1jcC1yZW1vdGUiLCJodHRwczovL21jcC5wZW5maWVsZC5hcHAvIl19

Or add manually to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Penfield": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.penfield.app/"]
    }
  }
}
Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, and Others

Add to your MCP configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Penfield": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.penfield.app/"]
    }
  }
}
AppConfig Location
Windsurf~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
ClineVS Code Settings → Cline → MCP Servers
Roo CodeVS Code Settings → Roo Code → MCP Servers
Zed~/.config/zed/settings.json under "context_servers"
Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add penfield -- npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.penfield.app/

Or add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Penfield": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.penfield.app/"]
    }
  }
}

What You Get

17 tools for persistent memory:

CategoryTools
Memorystore, recall, search, fetch, update_memory
Knowledge Graphconnect, disconnect, explore
Contextawaken, reflect, save_context, restore_context, list_contexts
Artifactssave_artifact, retrieve_artifact, list_artifacts, delete_artifact

Hybrid search combining BM25 (keyword), vector (semantic), and graph (connections) for recall that actually finds what you need.

Cross-platform sync — same memory, same knowledge graph, regardless of which tool you connect from.


How It Works

  1. Sign up at portal.penfield.app/sign-up
  2. Connect using one of the methods above
  3. Authenticate when prompted (OAuth flow)
  4. Start using — your agent now has persistent memory

Every session should start with:

awaken()     # Load identity and personality context
reflect()    # Orient on recent work (default: last 7 days)

Without these, your agent starts cold with no context.

New to MCP?

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.
