Institutional memory for AI coding agents. Your agent remembers mistakes, successes, and decisions across sessions — so it learns from experience instead of starting from scratch.
GitMem is an MCP server that gives AI coding agents persistent memory across sessions. It tracks mistakes (scars), successes (wins), architectural decisions, and unfinished work — surfacing relevant lessons before the agent takes action. One command setup: npx gitmem-mcp init.
- Persistent memory across coding sessions — mistakes, wins, decisions, and open threads
- Automatic recall — relevant lessons surface before the agent repeats past errors
- Session continuity with structured closing ceremony that captures what broke and what worked
- 20+ MCP tools for memory management, search, threads, and multi-agent coordination
- Zero config setup:
npx gitmem-mcp initauto-detects your IDE - Local-first, no telemetry — all data in
.gitmem/on your machine - Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (Copilot), Windsurf, and any MCP client

Reason for Addition: GitMem gives Cline persistent memory across sessions. Instead of starting from scratch each time, Cline remembers past mistakes (scars), successes (wins), and architectural decisions. Before taking action, relevant lessons automatically surface — preventing repeated errors.
Key benefits for Cline users:
npx gitmem-mcp initauto-detects Cline and sets up everything- Scars prevent repeating the same debugging cycles
- Session threads carry unfinished work across sessions
- Local-first, no telemetry, MIT licensed
Setup tested with Cline using README.md — installs and configures without issues.
