Product Introduction
- Universal Memory MCP is a decentralized memory management system that synchronizes user-generated AI interaction histories across multiple large language models (LLMs) through a secure, portable endpoint.
- The product eliminates platform-locked memory storage by providing a unified API endpoint that works with all major LLM clients, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, without requiring proprietary integrations.
Main Features
- Cross-platform memory synchronization enables real-time updates to conversational histories across all connected AI services using Server-Sent Events (SSE) protocol via a unique MCP URL.
- One-command deployment supports installation through platform-specific package managers (NPM/Yarn) with client-targeted configurations using flags like "--client claude" for Claude.ai integrations.
- Zero authentication architecture operates through cryptographically secure MCP URLs (256-bit entropy) that function as both identifiers and access tokens, removing traditional login requirements.
Problems Solved
- Addresses memory fragmentation caused by isolated AI platforms storing user histories in proprietary formats inaccessible to competing services.
- Serves power users who interact with multiple LLMs daily, including AI researchers, prompt engineers, and developers building cross-platform AI applications.
- Enables continuous contextual awareness for AI assistants during extended workflows spanning different platforms, such as transitioning ChatGPT code debugging sessions to Claude for documentation analysis.
Unique Advantages
- Unlike OpenAI's memory API, Universal Memory MCP uses open SSE standards rather than REST endpoints, allowing simultaneous bi-directional memory streaming to multiple clients.
- The system implements client-specific memory normalization that automatically adapts conversation histories to each LLM's preferred context window format and tokenization requirements.
- Competitive edge comes from bypassing cloud vendor lock-in through user-controlled memory storage options, including local hosting via the "install-mcp" command's self-hosting parameters.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How do I verify my MCP endpoint is working correctly? The system returns real-time SSE events with memory confirmation hashes (SHA-256) upon successful storage operations, visible through developer console monitoring.
- What clients are currently supported? Installation supports Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini through the --client flag, with new integrations added via weekly NPM package updates to the @supermemory/mcp module.
- How is memory security handled without logins? All data transfers use TLS 1.3 encryption with perfect forward secrecy, while the MCP URL itself contains 128-character randomized identifiers that serve as both address and access token.
- Can I migrate existing ChatGPT memories? The system automatically converts OpenAI's base64-encoded memory dumps to universal JSON-LD format during initial setup using the "migrate-legacy" subcommand.
- What happens if my MCP URL is compromised? Users can immediately regenerate endpoint URLs through the "rotate-endpoint" command, which invalidates previous URLs within 15 seconds across all connected clients.
