Memoir
Gives Claude and 10 other AI coding tools persistent memory that survives across sessions and machines. Exposes 14 MCP tools including memoir_recall for searching past context, memoir_remember for saving decisions, and memoir_consolidate for finding duplicate or stale memories. Push and restore commands sync encrypted backups to the cloud. Memoir migrate translates memory between tools using AI, so what you told Claude shows up in Cursor. Useful if you're tired of re-explaining your codebase every session or want a single memory layer that follows you across editors. One npx command configures everything, no API keys needed.

Readme
Memoir
Portable, project-scoped memory and session handoffs for coding agents.
Memoir keeps decisions, rationale, goals, and next actions in readable local files. An MCP server lets an agent save and retrieve that context. Optional local, Git, and cloud backups move it between machines.
The reliability changes are described in the remediation record. Review the upgrade and recovery guide before upgrading clients that share encrypted backups.

Memoir includes a separate, project-only handoff. It carries answered questions, decisions, next actions and receipts from checks actually run through Memoir. It does not import personal memory or transcripts.
The project handoff, browser view and recovery commands below require version 3.16.0 or later:
npm install -g memoir-cli@3.16.0
cd /path/to/your/project
memoir work setup
memoir work resume
memoir work view
For source development, install dependencies and replace memoir with
node bin/memoir.js from the Memoir checkout.
