memory_explain

MCP tool from Genesys by Astrix-Labs

Explain a memory's score. Includes a scoremodel block (formula + live per-force breakdown + staleness note) and removalimpact.

How to use it

memory_explain is exposed by the Genesys MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the memory_explain tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.

Install Genesys

$claude mcp add genesys -- python -m genesys_memory

Other tools in Genesys (12)

delete_memory

Permanently delete a memory

list_core_memories

List core memories, optionally filtered by category

memory_amend

Record a correction: creates a new memory that supersedes an existing one. The old memory is kept (decayed in recall), not deleted.

memory_recall

Recall memories by natural language query (vector + keyword + graph spreading activation). Supports verbosity: "concise" for lightweight payloads.

memory_search

Filtered vector search by status, category, date (since), last-active date (activesince), or entity. Pass an empty query to enumerate by recency instead (no embedder needed) — with since/activesince this answers "what's new since I last looked" without knowing what to query for.

memory_stats

Get memory system statistics

memory_store

Store a new memory. Use related for writer-specified typed edges ({id, type}); relatedto is legacy and always creates causedby. Optional category. May return possibleconflicts (heuristic hints).

memory_traverse

Walk the causal graph from a node. Returns reachable nodes and the edges of the induced subgraph (source/target/type/weight/createdby) — a superset of the BFS tree, so paths can be reconstructed. Honors edgetypes.

pin_memory

Pin a memory so it's never forgotten

promote_to_org

Promote a private memory to org visibility

set_core_preferences

Set user preferences for core memory categories

unpin_memory

Unpin a previously pinned memory
