How many of you hit amnesia with Claude when you're coding?

Reddit r/AI_Agents Tools

Summary

A developer is building an external memory tool (MCP connector) for AI coding agents like Claude, allowing them to persist project context across sessions and models, preventing amnesia from context window limits.

You get 40 messages deep, the context window fills up or gets compacted, and it forgets decisions you locked an hour ago. It re-proposes things you already rejected, asks about files it already read, drops your conventions. So every session starts with the same ritual of re-pasting context. I've been building a fix for this and testing it live: an external memory the agent calls as a tool. remember() when you state a durable fact or decision, recall() before it answers anything that depends on earlier context. It persists across sessions, across projects, and even across different models. To be clear, this is NOT Claude's built in memory and it is not just stuffing old chat logs back into the window. It connects as an MCP connector, so you wire it into Claude or Cursor in a couple of clicks. And there's an API so you can drop the same memory into any project or app you're building, not just your chat client. Fun part: this post was partly written by an agent pulling from its own memory of my project, and it correctly held back the parts I'd marked private. That is the behavior I'm after. Be honest: if you could drop this in today and your agent just stopped forgetting your project, would you use it? And what would stop you?
