How to use it
memory_search is exposed by the Iai Personal Memory Engine MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the memory_search tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.

Write a memory explicitly (ambient capture normally does this for you).
Run a consolidation pass now instead of waiting for idle.
Record that a fact changed. The old version is archived, not erased — both stay retrievable. That's the Rescue@10 and historical-verbatim story in the benchmarks.
Cue-based recall — returns hits and anti-hits: memories that contradict the cue surface next to the ones that match, so a stale fact can't masquerade as current.
Retrieve by the shape of a memory (the HD substrate), not just its embedding.
Strengthen a memory's recall pathways.
Time-anchored recall — "what did I say about pricing in May?"
The eleven sealed procedural knobs the engine learns about you.
