Allow developers to manage Agent's memory #29
Description
nithanaroy shared this idea, filing an issue to see if there's interest. It does sound like something we can consider down the line.
MCP already has a concept of resources: Data sources that provide contextual information to AI applications (e.g., file contents, database records, API responses). These enable the application to manage context used by the Agent. Agents extracting context from a web page could use this capability as well to have more relevant context for a user. Currently they are limited to data within the current DOM but not other application memory which could be relevant. For example, maybe there's items in the user's cart (which aren't visible in the current UI) but are implicit context to the user's query.
nithan also tried to explain a concept of short term vs long term memory and whether a capability here should consider that difference.
