What is the Engram MCP Server?

Engram gives your AI agent the context it can’t see in the code alone.

The short version

Temporal History: — Answers "What usually changes when this file changes?" to prevent the "fix one thing, break another" cycle
Test Intent: — Extracts test intent strings (e.g., "should handle negative balance") so the AI understands what behaviour to preserve
Organizational Memory: — A persistent store for you or the LLM to record undocumented architectural constraints, ensuring lessons learned aren't lost when you start a new conversation
