memory_ingest
capture with a birth certificate: no source + anchor, no storage.
How to use it
Project documentation lists memory_ingest for the N 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.

teach recall synonyms the store then honors
cold-start pack: your constraints FIRST (never capped), the one next action, decisions, traps — in ≤1500 tokens
kind / scope / authority / taint labels; optionally persisted as a sidecar
deterministic maintenance plan: exact dupes, merge proposals, tier moves
session-start projection: what you know, what's ready, what's blocked.
the whole store as one deterministic markdown view; byte-identical on an unchanged store
text → candidate memories over the closed 10-kind set; advisory, stores nothing
tombstones with audit, never silent deletion.
one full capsule by id, with GET-only fact time, relations,
one-shot import of native sources (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, memory dirs); born tainted
compact index with project fences
reconcile a second store file into this one: content-hash identity, id-remap, forget-wins, deterministic — the offline-first path to keep two machines' stores in sync
record an observed consequence (advisory observation, never a self-certified close)
pin (or unpin) a load-bearing capsule: decay-exempt + archive-vetoed, surfaced as a pinned flag and digest section; NEVER eligibility (fenced capsules stay fenced, taint dominates pin)
pairwise preference evidence (chosen-over, in context, by whom)
the five edges you reach for daily, out of nine declared: supersedes, derivedfrom, witnesses, blocks, and falsifies (a disproven fact stops grounding recall, but the evidence stays). The other four — proposes, partof, groundedin, about — are in the tool surface below.
recall as evidence: grounded, missingevidence, or an honest abstain.
/ memorysessionfinish — bracket a session; finish captures the handoff the next session's digest leads with
attach caller-fed embeddings (optional cosine lane; no embedder inside)
deterministic Mermaid projections (dag / relations / tiers / sessions), plus an MCP Apps view
on memoryretrieve — fence recall to one topic: the capsules
