yantrikdb-mcp
yantrikdb-mcp is an MCP server, listed under memory & vectors. It reaches yantrikdb. It needs YANTRIKDB_API_KEY and YANTRIKDB_TOKEN to authenticate. Its repository has 25 GitHub stars and is licensed under MIT; we last read it on 2026-10-25.
Stores and manages persistent cognitive memory for AI agents, integrating with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Features temporal decay, contradiction detection, and knowledge graph support. Utilizes the YantrikDB Rust engine. Installation: pip install yantrikdb-mcp.
Install
MCP servers are packaged differently from each other -- some run via npx, some as a Docker image, some as a plain script you clone and run. yantrikdb-mcp’s own README did not state one plainly enough for this page to quote it rather than guess, so it will not guess. The repository below states it.
What it reaches, and what it needs
What it connects to
Unverified means a mention in the server’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
Maintenance
Persistent cognitive memory for AI agents — drop-in MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf with temporal decay, contradiction detection, a knowledge graph, and autonomous consolidation, backed by the YantrikDB Rust engine.
What yantrikdb-mcp can do
19 tools documented in its README. An AI client calls these by name.
remember- Store memories — decisions, preferences, facts, corrections
recall- Semantic search, refinement, and retrieval feedback
forget- Tombstone memories
correct- Fix incorrect memory (preserves history)
think- Consolidation + conflict detection + pattern mining
memory- Manage individual memories + keyword search
graph- Knowledge graph operations
conflict- Handle contradictions and teach substitution patterns
trigger- Proactive insights and warnings
session- Session lifecycle management
temporal- Time-based memory queries
procedure- Procedural memory — learn and reuse strategies
category- Substitution categories for conflict detection
personality- AI personality traits from memory patterns
stats- Engine stats, health, weights, and index rebuilds
skill- Substrate-native agent skill catalog (writes off by default — see [Skill substrate](#skill-substrate-v070))
gaps- Surface frequently-asked, poorly-answered queries (substrate's known unknowns)
conversation- Bounded encrypted ring buffer for verbatim conversation turns, namespace-isolated
task- Substrate-backed task / chore store; survives sessions, surfaces in `session(action=
