Overview

AI-generated overview

Gives an assistant persistent cross-platform memory by storing, searching, and deleting user facts through the Smara Memory API.

What you can do
This server connects an MCP client to the Smara Memory API so the assistant can keep long-term memory about a user. Tools include store_memory for saving a fact with an importance score, search_memories for semantic search using the vendor's Temporal Memory Scoring ranking, get_user_context for a pre-formatted context string to place in a system prompt, delete_memory for removing a specific memory, and get_usage for checking plan limits and memory count. The vendor says memories fade over time based on importance and access, and that contradictions are detected and resolved.
When to use it
Worth adding when you want an assistant to remember facts about a user across sessions and across different MCP-compatible clients, rather than losing context each time. It suits setups where recall quality matters and you are comfortable storing those facts with a third-party memory service.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio, typically launched with npx, so Node.js and network access are needed. A required SMARA_API_KEY must be supplied as an environment variable; the optional SMARA_API_URL defaults to the vendor's API endpoint. A free API key is obtained from the vendor's site.
Before you install
The SMARA_API_KEY is a secret and is passed in the client configuration; keep it out of shared config files and version control. Stored memories are sent to the vendor's API, so anything the assistant saves leaves your machine. The server can write and delete memory records, and deletion is not described as reversible. Check the vendor's plan limits before relying on it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Smara in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

@smara/mcp-server

MCP server for the Smara Memory API — give any AI app persistent memory with Temporal Memory Scoring™.

Quick Start

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "smara": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@smara/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "SMARA_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"      }    }  }}

Get a free API key at smara.io (10,000 memories, no credit card).

get_user_contextPre-formatted context string for LLM system prompts
delete_memoryDelete a specific memory
get_usageCheck plan limits and memory count

How It Works

Smara uses Temporal Memory Scoring™ — a proprietary ranking system that makes AI memory work like human recall. Memories naturally fade over time, modulated by importance and access patterns. Recent, critical memories surface first. Stale, trivial ones fade. Contradictions are auto-detected and resolved.
