dakera-mcp — Claude Code MCP server: memory and setup
A self-hosted MCP server that gives agents persistent, searchable memory. Use it when context must carry across sessions.
claude mcp add dakera-mcp -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/dakera-ai/dakera-mcp:0.12.3What dakera-mcp does
dakera-mcp gives an MCP agent persistent memory. It can save entries, retrieve them by meaning, search with tag and type filters, manage sessions, build a knowledge graph, and extract entities from text. Hybrid search combines vector retrieval with BM25.
The default profile exposes 14 tools. An agent can inspect the wider catalog with dakera_discover_tools and load selected schemas through dakera_load_tools; profiles extend the set to 106 tools. The server is distributed as a single Rust binary and runs through Docker.
dakera-mcp 0.12.3 works with Dakera servers v0.11.108 and v0.12.0–v0.12.3. Docker is required for the installation command to start the server.
What it helps with
- carry decisions and facts across agent sessions
- retrieve stored context from a natural-language query
- filter memories by tags, types, or time
- build a knowledge graph from stored data
- remove one memory or a matching group
Example prompts for the agent
- Save the architecture decision from this conversation with the tag
architecture. - Find earlier decisions about authentication and show the related memories.
- End the current session and attach a short summary.
