memory_retrieve

MCP tool from MCP Memory by fellowgeek

Retrieves a specific memory by its key and namespace.

How to use it

Project documentation lists memory_retrieve for the MCP Memory MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
