Persistent memory and session intelligence for AI coding assistants. Zero config.
Persistent memory and session intelligence for AI coding assistants. Zero config. That is what the session forge mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
Session-forge gives your AI coding assistant memory that survives across sessions. It tracks decisions, dead ends, user preferences, and session state — so every conversation builds on the last one instead of starting from scratch.
The server publishes 5 tools. What each one is for:
Sessions — The Sessions tool exposed by this serverProfile — The Profile tool exposed by this serverJournal — The Journal tool exposed by this serverDecisions — The Decisions tool exposed by this serverContext — The Context tool exposed by this serverThe server ships on npm as session-forge, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Among the knowledge and memory options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Session Forge's toolset — Sessions, Profile, Journal and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by 420247jake; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

A knowledge graph your assistant keeps between sessions — entities, relations and observations that persist.
Kill hallucinated APIs — version-accurate, up-to-date library documentation injected straight into context.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
A structured scratchpad for hard problems — stepwise reasoning with revisions, branches and visible logic.
Symbol-level code navigation, refactoring and memory for coding agents — the IDE brain your assistant has been missing.
Chat with your second brain — search, read and write vault notes through the Local REST API.
