MCP.Pizza Chef: tuncer-byte

Six standard notes — goal, product context, architecture, technology choices, current focus, and progress — get written as plain text files into a folder you pick, and five tools create, update, search, export, and turn them into editor rules. Google's Gemini drafts them, so a Gemini key is required and the server refuses to start without one. Two problems matter: it prints status messages onto the same channel it uses to talk to your assistant, which corrupts the connection, and setting up a second time overwrites all six notes without asking.

Memory Bank MCP

Memory Bank MCP

Structured project knowledge management for LLMs via Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Memory Bank MCP server

Note: This is not a traditional Node.js application. Memory Bank MCP is an MCP server—a component in the Model Context Protocol ecosystem. It exposes project knowledge to LLM-powered agents and tools using a standardized protocol, enabling seamless integration with AI clients (e.g., Claude Desktop, IDEs, or custom LLM agents).

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI: it provides a universal way to connect AI models to data sources and tools, both locally and remotely. MCP enables:

  • Plug-and-play integrations between LLMs, data, and tools
  • Switching between LLM providers with minimal friction
  • Secure, modular architecture for building AI workflows

About Memory Bank MCP

Memory Bank MCP is an MCP server that helps teams create, manage, and access structured project documentation. It generates and maintains interconnected Markdown documents capturing all aspects of project knowledge, from high-level goals to technical details and daily progress. It is designed to be accessed by MCP-compatible clients and LLM agents.

Features

  • AI-Generated Documentation: Uses Gemini API to generate and update project documentation
  • Structured Knowledge System: Maintains six core document types in a hierarchical structure
  • MCP Server: Implements the Model Context Protocol for integration with LLM agents and tools
  • Customizable Storage: Choose where your Memory Bank directory is created
  • Document Templates: Pre-defined templates for project brief, product context, system patterns, etc.
  • AI-Assisted Updates: Update documents manually or regenerate them with AI
  • Advanced Querying: Search across all documents with context-aware relevance ranking

memory-bank-MCP FAQ

Do I need a key?
Yes, a Google Gemini key. It uses Gemini to draft the notes, and the server will not start at all without a valid key in place.
Does it work reliably as published?
Not really. It prints progress messages onto the same channel it uses to talk to your assistant, which garbles replies and drops the connection. Expect to patch that yourself before it is usable.
Can I use this to stop re-explaining my project every session?
That is the intent, with a catch. The folder location is forgotten whenever the server restarts, so you have to run setup again — and running setup again rewrites all six notes.
Will it overwrite what I wrote?
Yes. Running setup a second time regenerates every one of the six notes with AI and saves over the old ones, with no warning, no prompt, and no backup.
How hard is setup?
This is a build-it-yourself install. You download the code, install its dependencies, compile it, get a Gemini key, and point your assistant at the compiled file. There is no ready-made package.
Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop and anything else that reads a standard settings file, once you have built it locally.
Is it still maintained?
Nothing has changed since June 2025. It is not marked as archived, but treat it as dormant.
Should I paste my key into the chat?
No. One tool advertises a setting for handing over your Gemini key in the message itself; it is accepted but has no effect, since the key is only ever read at startup. Keep it out of the conversation.
