Total Recall
Give Claude Code or Cursor durable, verifiable memory that survives restarts and syncs across sessions while you ship agent-heavy products.
Overview
Total Recall is an MCP server for the Build phase that gives AI agents persistent, verified, cross-session memory via 26 tools on SQLite with sync.
What is this MCP server?
- 26 MCP tools for store, recall, verify, and manage cross-session agent memory
- SQLite-backed local store with sync for durable facts outside the chat window
- Designed for verified memory so agents can cite what was saved rather than guessing
- stdio npm package @avi-total-recall/total-recall runnable via npx
- Version 0.2.4 on the official MCP server schema
- SQLite storage with sync
- Package @avi-total-recall/total-recall v0.2.4
What problem does it solve?
Coding agents forget everything when the session ends, so solo builders repeat context, lose decisions, and cannot trust what the agent "remembers."
Who is it for?
Indie builders running Claude Code or Cursor on multi-day agent projects who need durable preferences, architecture notes, or verified facts outside the context window.
Skip if: Teams that only need ephemeral chat, already have a full RAG plus product DB for all knowledge, or cannot run local MCP stdio on their machine.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register Total Recall, your agent can store and retrieve verified facts across sessions so long projects and recurring workflows stay consistent.
- Registered MCP server with 26 memory tools in your agent client
- Durable agent-accessible memory store with sync
- Cross-session recall workflow the agent can invoke on demand
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Persistent agent memory is installed during product build when you wire MCP tooling, but it pays off across later ship and operate work. Agent-tooling is the canonical shelf for MCP servers that extend what coding agents remember and recall, not a single UI or API feature.
How it compares
MCP memory infrastructure with 26 tools, not a single markdown skill or prompt file.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Total Recall for?
Solo and indie builders who use AI coding agents daily and need memory that survives new chats, reboots, and sync across environments.
When should I use Total Recall?
Use it when you start a long agent-driven build or operate loop and find yourself re-pasting the same project facts, conventions, or decisions every session.
How do I add Total Recall to my agent?
Add the stdio MCP entry for @avi-total-recall/total-recall (npx) in Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP client, then restart the client so the 26 memory tools are available.
