Wormhole MCP Server

The Inter-Agent Context Bridge - MCP server for shared agent memory

Local serverstdio

What is the Wormhole MCP server?

Wormhole MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. The Inter-Agent Context Bridge - MCP server for shared agent memory.

What you get

Keep your AI coding agents in sync. Wormhole gives Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor a shared memory layer—so when you switch tools mid-task, nothing gets lost.

  • Universal Logging — - Single log tool for any action type
  • Event Tagging — - Categorize events with tags for better organization
  • Session Management — - Named work sessions with isolation
  • Token Optimized — - Compact output, delta queries, relevance filtering
  • Conflict Detection — - Know when agents touch the same files
  • Stale Event Rejection — - Automatically filters out file edits that no longer exist in the current project state

What the assistant can call

Once Wormhole is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • get_recent — The get_recent tool exposed by this server
  • get_tags — The get_tags tool exposed by this server
  • save_knowledge — Persist decisions, pitfalls, conventions, or constraints so agents don’t repeat mistakes
  • search_project_knowledge — Intent-aware lookup of stored knowledge. Prefers types that match your intent
  • check_conflicts — The check_conflicts tool exposed by this server
  • Performance — The Performance tool exposed by this server
  • cleanup — // Clean specific session cleanup({ scope: "session", session_id: "abc-123" })
  • start_session — Sessions automatically isolate context—previous events hidden from queries
  • end_session — The end_session tool exposed by this server
  • list_sessions — The list_sessions tool exposed by this server
  • switch_session — The switch_session tool exposed by this server
  • Configuration — The Configuration tool exposed by this server

Setting it up

The server ships on npm as wormhole, 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.

Choosing this one

Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Wormhole's toolset — get_recent, get_tags, save_knowledge and 9 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by fatmali; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 12 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Wormhole.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the wormhole mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Wormhole to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 12 tools (get_recent, get_tags, save_knowledge, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Wormhole directly.
