Persistent memory and human-in-the-loop approval for AI agents

AgentMemo MCP Server

Persistent memory and human-in-the-loop approval for AI agents via Model Context Protocol (MCP)

AgentMemo is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents persistent memory across sessions and human approval capabilities before sensitive actions.

Features

  • 🧠 Persistent Memory — Store and retrieve memories across conversations and sessions
  • Human Approval Gateway — Agents can request approval from humans before critical actions
  • 🔌 MCP-Native — Works with any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw)
  • 🌐 Cloud API — Powered by AgentMemo API (https://agentmemo.net)
  • 📦 Zero Setup — Just add your API key, no server to deploy

Installation

npm install agentmemo-mcp

Or install globally for MCP clients:

npm install -g agentmemo-mcp

Quick Start

1. Get Your API Key

Sign up for a free API key at agentmemo.net — no credit card required.

2. Configure Your MCP Client

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentmemo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["agentmemo-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTMEMO_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentmemo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["agentmemo-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTMEMO_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
OpenClaw

Already integrated! Set AGENTMEMO_API_KEY in your .env or OpenClaw config.

3. Use the Tools

Your agent now has access to these tools:

  • remember — Store a memory for later recall
  • recall — Search stored memories by query
  • forget — Delete a memory by ID
  • list_memories — List recent memories in a namespace
  • request_approval — Ask a human to approve an action
  • check_approval — Check the status of an approval request

API Reference

Tool: `remember`

Store information for later recall.

{
  "content": "User prefers dark mode and concise responses",
  "namespace": "user-preferences"
}

Returns: Memory ID, creation timestamp

Tool: `recall`

Search across stored memories.

{
  "query": "dark mode preferences",
  "namespace": "user-preferences",
  "limit": 5
}

Returns: List of matching memories with scores

Tool: `request_approval`

Request human approval before a sensitive action.

{
  "action": "Delete all emails older than 1 year",
  "context": "Freeing up 50GB of storage"
}

Returns: Approval request ID and status

Tool: `check_approval`

Poll the status of a pending approval.

{
  "id": "approval_12345"
}

Returns: Status (pending/approved/rejected) and decision if available

Memory Namespaces

Organize memories by namespace to keep them separate:

  • user-preferences — User settings and preferences
  • project-alpha — Project-specific context
  • meeting-notes — Meeting transcripts and summaries
  • custom/any-name — Any custom namespace

Development

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • npm 9+

Setup

git clone https://github.com/andrewpetecoleman-cloud/agentmemo-mcp.git
cd agentmemo-mcp
npm install

Testing

npm test

Building

npm run build

How It Works

  1. Agent asks for memory — "Remember that the user prefers dark mode"
  2. MCP Server handles it — Calls AgentMemo API with your API key
  3. Memory is stored — Persisted in AgentMemo cloud (encrypted in transit)
  4. Agent recalls later — "What are the user's preferences?"
  5. Memory is retrieved — Searched from AgentMemo and returned to agent

For approvals, the agent pauses and waits for human decision before proceeding.

Try it

Remember that I prefer all code snippets to be written in TypeScript and follow clean code principles.
Recall my preferences for project-alpha to help me write this new feature.
I need to delete the memory with ID 12345 as it is no longer relevant.
Request approval from me to delete all files in the temporary build directory.
Check the status of my pending approval request for the database migration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of AgentMemo?

Persistent memory storage across different sessions and conversations. Human-in-the-loop approval gateway for sensitive agent actions. Namespace-based organization for memory isolation. Zero-setup cloud-based API integration. Compatible with all MCP-native clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor.

What can I use AgentMemo for?

Storing user preferences and coding style guides for consistent AI assistance. Managing project-specific context across multiple long-term development sessions. Requiring human authorization before an agent executes destructive file system operations. Maintaining a searchable log of meeting notes and summaries for quick retrieval. Ensuring sensitive agent actions are reviewed by a human before execution.

How do I install AgentMemo?

Install AgentMemo by running: npm install -g agentmemo-mcp

What MCP clients work with AgentMemo?

AgentMemo works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and other editors with MCP support.

Turn this server into reusable context

Keep AgentMemo docs, env vars, and workflow notes in Conare so your agent carries them across sessions.
