Bank MCP-Memory

# MCP Memory Bank Server 🧠

A powerful, context management system for Large Language Models (LLMs). Built with ChromaDB and modern embedding technologies, it provides persistent, project-specific memory capabilities that enhance your AI's understanding and response quality.

✨ Key Features

• 🚀 High Performance: Optimized vector storage with ChromaDB
• 🔒 Project Isolation: Separate context spaces for different projects
• 🔍 Smart Search: Both semantic and keyword-based search capabilities
• 🔄 Real-time Updates: Dynamic content management with automatic chunking
• 🎯 Precise Recall: Advanced embedding generation via @xenova/transformers
• 🐳 Easy Deployment: Docker-ready with persistent storage

🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

CHROMADB_URL=http://localhost:8000
MCP_MEMBANK_EMBEDDING_MODEL=Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
# Optional: Controls the logging verbosity. Defaults to 'info'.
# Possible values: 'debug', 'info', 'warn', 'error'
LOG_LEVEL=info

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. ChromaDB Connection Failed

   # Check if container is running
   docker ps | grep chroma
   # Restart if needed
   docker-compose restart
   

2. Memory Issues

   • Ensure Docker has sufficient memory allocation
   • Consider reducing batch sizes in heavy operations

🤝 Contributing

1. Fork the repository
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b feature/AmazingFeature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -m 'Add some AmazingFeature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin feature/AmazingFeature)
5. Open a Pull Request

📈 Performance Considerations

• Vector operations scale with embedding dimensions
• Batch operations for better throughput
• Use appropriate chunk sizes (default: 512 tokens)
• Consider index optimization for large datasets
