About
claude-mem is a marketplace that installs a persistent-memory plugin for Claude Code. Its docs describe capturing tool-usage observations during sessions, compressing them into semantic summaries, and injecting relevant context into future sessions so the agent keeps continuity across restarts. It exposes MCP search tools and a local worker service so developers can query past project history in natural language.

How do I stop re-explaining project context to my coding agent every new session?
Give a coding agent persistent, searchable memory of prior sessions and decisions.
Who is it for?
Developers on long-running projects who want their coding agent to recall prior decisions, preferences, and facts across sessions.
Skip if: Users who want the pure npm SDK; the docs note the global npm install ships the library only and does not register the plugin hooks.
What you get
Context from previous sessions automatically appears in new sessions and is searchable via MCP tools.
- Installed memory hooks and worker service
- Searchable session memory via MCP tools
By the numbers
- 4 MCP search tools
- 5 lifecycle hooks
- ~10x token savings claimed

FAQ
How does claude-mem persist context?
The docs describe lifecycle hooks that capture tool-usage observations, generate semantic summaries, and make them available to future sessions via a local worker and SQLite database.
What MCP tools does it provide?
The README describes 4 MCP tools (search, timeline, get_observations) in a 3-layer workflow for roughly 10x token savings by filtering before fetching details.
