# agent-recall This plugin stores project facts in a local SQLite database and gives Claude Code a briefing when a session begins. - plugin · `type=plugin` · Claude Code · ★ 14 - Author: mnardit - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/mnardit/agent-recall - Updated: 2026-04-03 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/plugins/agent-recall ## What it does Once its MCP server is connected, the agent can save entities, observations, and links between them. The database lives at `~/.agent-recall/frames.db`. Scoped memory supports different roles or details for the same person across projects. The `SessionStart` hook adds a briefing to the system prompt; `PostToolUse` refreshes caches and vault files after memory writes. Setup uses Python and `agent-recall[mcp]`, followed by an MCP entry in `.mcp.json`. Claude Code hooks are configured separately in `.claude/settings.json`. Without the MCP server connected, the agent cannot access the memory tools. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) **Plugin marketplace** In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community ``` In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin install agent-recall@claude-community ``` ## When to use it - retain client and team details across sessions - record project decisions alongside related entities - provide a session-start briefing from saved facts - retrieve earlier context about a person or project ## Example prompts - Save that Alice at Acme wants the API finished by Friday. - Find the saved details about Alice and the latest API migration discussion. - Prepare a briefing for this project from the stored facts. ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

Built from production: extracted from a real system running **30+ concurrent AI agents** at a digital agency. Not a prototype — every feature exists because something broke in production. ``` Before: "Who is Alice?" (every single session) After: Agent starts with: "Alice — Lead Engineer at Acme, prefers async, last discussed the API migration on Feb 12" ``` **MCP-native** — designed for MCP-compatible clients. Tested configs included for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline. Battle-tested daily with Claude Code (30+ agents in production). [PRs and issue reports welcome!](https://github.com/mnardit/agent-recall/issues) ### Why agent-recall? Other memory solutions exist (Mem0, Zep/Graphiti, LangMem). Here's what makes agent-recall different: - **Scope hierarchy** — not flat memory. The same person can have different roles in different projects. agent-recall is built around scope chains with inheritance — designed for agents working across multiple clients, projects, and nested contexts. - **AI briefings** — raw data dumps don't work. agent-recall uses an LLM to summarize hundreds of facts into structured, actionable context injected at session start. - **Local-first** — single SQLite file. No cloud, no vector DB, no Docker, no Neo4j. Your data stays on your machine. - **MCP-native** — 9 memory tools with proactive-saving instructions. Tested configs for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline. - **Bitemporal** — old values are archived, not deleted. Query what was true at any point in time. - **Minimal dependencies** — just `pyyaml` + `click`. MCP and Anthropic SDK are optional extras. --- ## How It Works ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ SESSION 1 │ │ │ │ You: "Alice from Acme called.
