v1.7.0 — stdio MCP server
v1.7.0 — stdio MCP server for automatic agent discovery
The Problem
Every agent integration was a text instruction in CLAUDE.md saying "run memgraph recall before starting a task." This was fragile — models may skip, misread, or forget the instruction. Each agent framework needed its own bridge file.
The Fix
memgraph mcp starts a stdio JSON-RPC 2.0 server implementing the MCP 2025-11-25 protocol. No external dependencies — pure Go stdlib.
5 Tools Exposed
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
memgraph_projects |
List all project scopes (discovery — no prior knowledge needed) |
memgraph_recall |
Search memories (returns compact section index by default) |
memgraph_read |
Read full memory or specific section by slug |
memgraph_save |
Store new memory with [slug] sections |
memgraph_recommend |
Skill recommendations for a task |
Register with Claude Code
claude mcp add memgraph -s user -- ~/.local/bin/memgraph mcpVerified: claude mcp list shows memgraph ✔ Connected. All 5 tools discoverable via tools/list. Full end-to-end workflow tested through the protocol.
Protocol
- Transport: stdio (newline-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0)
- Handshake:
initialize→notifications/initialized→tools/list→tools/call - Protocol version:
2025-11-25 - Capabilities:
tools(listChanged: false) - Errors: JSON-RPC level (-32700, -32601, -32602) for protocol errors;
isError: truefor tool execution errors
Impact
- Eliminates CLAUDE.md rules: agents discover memgraph via MCP tool list
- Eliminates cold-start friction: framework advertises tools, model calls them
- Eliminates bridge files: no per-agent integration files needed
- Token-efficient by default:
memgraph_recallreturns section index, not full memories
