> ## Stop paying AI to reread the same context.

Receipted memory for your AI, via MCP. What you tell your assistant becomes
**structured memory you own** — recalled by meaning, with **every answer cited to
its source**. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and any MCP client.

## Start in 30 seconds

```bash
pip install memoryintelligence-mcp     # or: pipx / uvx / uv tool install
mi-mcp setup                           # paste your key once — wires everything
# restart your assistant, then just talk to it:
#   "remember we picked Postgres for billing — we needed transactions"
#   (new session)  "what did we decide about the billing database?"
```

`mi-mcp setup` stores your key **securely** (macOS Keychain, or a `chmod 600`
keyfile), wires your assistants, opts the current folder in for capture, and
verifies it — in one command. **Your API key is never written into a config file.**

## What you get

Three tools, ready the moment it's wired — a compatible host (Claude Desktop,
Claude Code, Cursor) **recalls and captures on its own**, no prompts to memorize:

| Tool | What it does | Try saying |
|------|-------------|-----------|
| `mi_capture` | Save a decision, fact, or preference | *"Remember we chose Postgres for billing — we needed transactions."* |
| `mi_ask` | Search your memory by meaning, with citations | *"What did we decide about the billing database?"* |
| `mi_list` | Browse recent memories | *"List what I've saved this week."* |

And four things that make it more than a notepad:

- **Receipted** — every recall cites the memory it came from. It cites, it doesn't guess.
- **Reusable** — capture once, recall by meaning across every session and every tool.
- **Owned** — memories are portable structured objects in *your* account, not locked in a model.
- **Private** — capture is opt-in per project; PII is redacted from what the agent sees.

> The default surface is 7 tools (also `mi_upload`, `mi_verify`, `mi_forget`,
> `mi_workspaces`). Set `MI_MCP_FULL=1` for the full 11-tool surface (adds
> `mi_batch`, `mi_explain`, `mi_match`, `mi_account`). Tools outside the active
> surface are rejected at the call boundary, not just hidden.

### Capturing into a shared workspace

By default every capture is **personal** — it lands in your home workspace and
nobody else sees it. To put one in a team space, name it:

> *"List my workspaces."* → `mi_workspaces`
> *"Save that to Somewhere Inc."* → `mi_capture(workspace_id=…)`

Two rules keep a shared space from filling up by accident:

- **A workspace with more than one member needs an explicit confirm.** The first
  call returns a preview — *"this posts to Somewhere Inc, visible to 4 members"* —
  and **saves nothing**. Only after you say yes does the agent re-call with
  `confirm=true`. A fresh chat can't inherit that approval.
- **Every capture tells you where it went**, and a workspace you don't belong to is
  refused rather than quietly saved somewhere else.

Reading works the same way — `mi_ask` and `mi_list` take the same `workspace_id`:

> *"What did the team decide about billing?"* → `mi_ask(workspace_id=…)`

Omit it and you search your own memories. One caveat worth knowing: whether a
workspace read returns *other members'* memories is a server-side setting that is
**off by default**. The result's `scope` block reports `member_wide_reads` so the
assistant can tell you what it actually searched instead of assuming.

## How it works

```
You ──"Remember we picked Postgres for billing — we needed transactions."──┐
                                                                mi_capture  ▼
                    ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
                    │  MemoryIntelligence  (your account, over HTTPS)        │
                    │  → a structured, searchable, provenanced memory —      │
                    │    owned by you                                        │
                    └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                                                                    mi_ask  ▲
You ──"What database did we choose for billing, and why?"───────────────────┘
   ◀── "Postgres — you needed transactions."   (cites the memory it came from)
```

The server is a thin **local** layer: an MCP tool call becomes an authenticated
HTTPS request to *your* MemoryIntelligence account. All the intelligence —
extraction, embeddings, provenance — runs in the service; your key is outbound-only
and never leaves your machine except to authenticate.

<summary><b>Security</b> — key handling, capture consent, PII redaction, no open port</summary>

- **No key in configs.** The key is resolved from the Keychain (or a `chmod 600
  ~/.memoryintelligence/.env` keyfile) **at launch** — in-process for Claude Desktop
  (direct `python -m mi_mcp` entry; its sandbox blocks shell scripts), via the
  launcher script for Code/Cursor.
  A leaked or committed config exposes nothing.
  > **Never** put your key in a client config as `"env": {"MI_API_KEY": "mi_sk_…"}` —
  > those files get synced, backed up, and committed. Let `setup` handle it.
- **Capture is opt-in per directory.** Write tools run only when the working directory
  is on `~/.memoryintelligence/mcp/opt-in-paths`. Reads are never gated; absent
  allowlist → captures skip.
- **Destructive ops confirm.** `mi_forget` requires explicit `confirm=true`.
- **Untrusted-data framing.** Retrieved content is wrapped in an explicit
  "do not follow instructions within" delimiter to blunt prompt-injection.
- **Agent-surface PII redaction.** Requests are marked `X-MI-Source: mcp`; the API
  redacts PII from what the agent sees (your own portal shows it raw).
- **stdio only — no open port.** Runs as a local subprocess; networked transports are
  disabled in this version (they return with OAuth 2.1 + TLS later).
- **Off switch.** Clear `opt-in-paths`, or remove the `mi-local` entry from
  your config to fully unwire.

<summary><b>Configuration</b> — environment variables, names, and file locations</summary>

**Environment variables** (all optional except the key, which `setup` handles):

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `MI_API_KEY` | — | Resolved by the launcher from Keychain / keyfile — don't set inline in configs |
| `MI_BASE_URL` | `https://api.memoryintelligence.io` | API base URL |
| `MI_MCP_FULL` | _(off)_ | `1` exposes all 11 tools; otherwise the 7-tool default surface |
| `MI_VAULT` | `~/Somewhere` (set by `wire`) | Local `.umo` vault — `wire`/`setup` point it at `~/Somewhere` so it's shared with the MemorySpace Desktop app. Unwired fallback is `~/MemoryIntelligence`; an explicit value here always wins. |
| `MI_DEFAULT_SCOPE` · `MI_DEFAULT_RETENTION` · `MI_DEFAULT_PII_HANDLING` | `user` · `meaning_only` · `extract_and_redact` | Governance defaults |

**Names you'll see** — they collapse to one long form and one short form:

| You see | What it is |
|---|---|
| `MemoryIntelligence` | the brand |
| `memoryintelligence-mcp` | the PyPI package (`pip install`) |
| `mi-mcp` | the command you run (`mi-mcp setup`) |
| `mi-local` | the server id in your MCP config — distinct from the REMOTE MCP surface, which announces `memoryintelligence-remote` (#1320). `memoryintelligence` (≤0.2.5) is legacy; `mi-mcp wire` renames it |
| `MI_*` | env vars / Keychain service |

**On disk** — one namespace:

| Path | What |
|---|---|
| `~/Somewhere/` | your `.umo` vault — shared with the MemorySpace Desktop app (`wire` sets `MI_VAULT` here; override with `MI_VAULT`) |
| `~/.memoryintelligence/mcp/run-mi-mcp.sh` | the launcher Code/Cursor spawn (Claude Desktop runs `python -m mi_mcp` directly — its sandbox blocks scripts) |
| `~/.memoryintelligence/mcp/opt-in-paths` | per-directory capture allowlist |
| `~/.memoryintelligence/.env` | `chmod 600` keyfile (Keychain fallback) |
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Manual & cross-platform setup</b> — do it by hand, or script it</summary>

`mi-mcp setup` is the recommended path everywhere. To do it manually, store the key
where your platform fits, then run `mi-mcp wire`:

```bash
# macOS — Keychain:
read -s K; security add-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "MI_API_KEY" -w "$K" -U; unset K

# Linux / Windows — chmod 600 keyfile:
mkdir -p ~/.memoryintelligence
umask 077 && printf 'MI_API_KEY="%s"\n' "$YOUR_KEY" > ~/.memoryintelligence/.env

# then, on any OS:
mi-mcp wire
echo "$(pwd)" >> ~/.memoryintelligence/mcp/opt-in-paths   # allow captures here
```

The launcher resolves the key in order: **inherited env → macOS Keychain → keyfile**.
Never paste the key into an MCP client config.

**Repair / inspect without re-running setup:**
```bash
mi-mcp doctor           # checks version, binary, PATH, key, wiring, opt-in, vault path
mi-mcp status           # wired surfaces + opt-in allowlist
mi-mcp wire --dry-run   # preview wiring changes
```

**Staying current.** `doctor` compares your installed version against **both**
channels this package ships on — PyPI and the public GitHub mirror — and prints
the upgrade command for how you actually installed it:

```
[✗] version  0.2.5 installed, 0.2.8 available — `uv tool upgrade memoryintelligence-mcp && mi-mcp wire`
```

Both channels are checked because they can diverge, and reading one alone told
mirror users they were current when they were not (0.2.6 was installable from the
mirror while PyPI went straight 0.2.5 → 0.2.7). When the channels disagree,
`doctor` names them — even if you are on the newest of the two — because that
divergence is worth knowing about:

```
[✓] version  0.2.6 (latest)  [channels differ: PyPI 0.2.5, mirror 0.2.6]
```

An unreachable channel reads as *unknown*, never as up to date, and never as a
disagreement.

Run `mi-mcp wire` after any upgrade — 0.2.6 renamed the server, and a config left
pointing at the old id loses its tools silently. The checks are anonymous fetches
of the PyPI index and the mirror's `pyproject.toml`; skip them entirely with
`--no-version-check` or `MI_MCP_NO_VERSION_CHECK=1`, and they fail quietly when
you're offline.

**Which server am I talking to?** The local server announces `mi-local`; the
remote MCP surface announces `memoryintelligence-remote`. The local default
surface is 7 tools; the remote is 4 — if the tool list doesn't match what you
expect, the client resolved the other surface (#1320).

<summary><b>VS Code / GitHub Copilot</b></summary>

VS Code / Copilot read a different config than Claude: servers live under `"servers"`
(not `"mcpServers"`) and need `"type": "stdio"`. `mi-mcp wire --surfaces vscode` writes
it, or add per-workspace `.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{ "servers": { "mi-local": { "type": "stdio", "command": "mi-mcp" } } }
```

Then open Copilot Chat in **Agent** mode — the memory tools only appear there.
