Strata
Run a self-hosted Strata memory server and wire it into your agent so preferences, decisions, and project context persist on your hardware instead of vanishing each session.
Overview
Strata is a Build-phase MCP server for self-hosted, persistent AI agent memory exposed over streamable HTTP on infrastructure you control.
What is this MCP server?
- Self-hosted AI memory on your hardware—explicitly not cloud-dependent in the product description
- npm package strata-mcp-server v2.2.0 with streamable-http to http://localhost:4320/mcp
- Environment variables STRATA_URL and STRATA_API_KEY from /admin/agents
- GitHub: agenerationforwordz-tech/strata (registry schema 2025-12-11)
- Version 2.2.0 aligned across server metadata and npm package entry
- Server and npm package version 2.2.0
- 2 documented environment variables: STRATA_URL, STRATA_API_KEY
- Default transport URL pattern: http://localhost:4320/mcp
Community signal: 6 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Agents forget prior decisions every session and cloud memory tools may not match your privacy, cost, or homelab setup.
Who is it for?
Privacy-conscious solo builders running local or LAN services who want durable agent memory without outsourcing retention to a hosted memory vendor.
Skip if: Teams that refuse to operate any server process or only want ephemeral, session-only chat with no persistence layer.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After Strata is running and the MCP client is configured with STRATA_URL and STRATA_API_KEY, your agent can store and recall context across sessions on your own server.
- MCP-connected persistent memory store on your hardware
- Agent API key workflow for scoped memory access
- Documented STRATA_URL + STRATA_API_KEY configuration for your MCP client
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Persistent agent memory is foundational tooling while you build and iterate automations; the Build → agent-tooling shelf matches where solo builders register MCP servers and API keys. Agent-tooling is the canonical home for memory backends that every phase can read later—Strata is installed during stack setup, not as a one-off marketing task.
How it compares
Self-hosted memory MCP backend, not a hosted transcript tool or a document parser.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Strata for?
It is for builders shipping with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agents who want long-lived memory on hardware they own, using Strata’s admin API keys.
When should I use Strata?
Use it when you are standing up agent tooling and need cross-session recall for project facts, preferences, and decisions without repeating prompts.
How do I add Strata to my agent?
Install and run the Strata server, set STRATA_URL (e.g. http://10.0.0.18:4320/mcp) and STRATA_API_KEY from /admin/agents, then add the strata-mcp-server npm MCP entry with streamable-http transport.
