MCP Tools

When an agent is connected to Memchentic, it can use a small set of tools to save and find memories. You do not need these names day to day if you browse the web UI — they describe what the agent is allowed to do.

Where memory lives

you
  ├── personal     private to you
  └── groups[]     shared spaces you belong to

If nothing else is specified, new memories go to personal.

Who you are

Tool	What it does
`me`	Shows who is connected, your personal space, and group memberships

Spaces

Tool	What it does
`space_list`	Lists your personal space and groups
`space_create`	Creates a shared group (you become the creator)
`space_show`	Shows detail and members for a space you can see

Entries

Tool	What it does
`remember`	Saves a typed entry
`find`	Searches entries and returns short summaries
`open`	Loads the full text of a memory
`revise`	Updates an existing memory
`forget`	Deletes a memory you can write
`browse`	Lists memories without a search query
`since`	Finds memories updated in a time window
`by_tag`	Finds memories by tags
`relocate`	Moves a memory to another space you can write

Entry types are covered in Memory Types.

Guides

Tool	What it does
`guide_write`	Saves or reinforces standing advice
`guide_find`	Searches guides (stronger advice ranks higher)

Extra helpers

Tool	What it does
`about_path`	Finds memories related to a file or project path
`trace`	Shows where a memory came from, when available
`overlap_report`	Flags near-duplicates and similar housekeeping — nothing is deleted automatically

Signing in for tools

Agents authenticate as a real user — usually by signing in through the harness (Authorize), or with a personal API key from the GUI. The admin API key is break-glass only; prefer your own account for everyday use.
