Memcord — Persistent Chat Memory

Memcord is a self-hosted MCP server that gives you persistent, searchable memory across conversations. All data is stored as plain JSON files on your own machine — nothing leaves your device.

Adding Memcord to Your OpenClaw Config

After installing, manually add the following to your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under the "mcp" key. Only two tools are exposed: memcord_auto_save (write) and memcord_read (read).

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "memcord": {
        "command": "uvx",
        "args": ["memcord"],
        "toolFilter": {
          "include": ["memcord_auto_save", "memcord_read"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

To use a custom slot name instead of the default "default" slot, add the "env" field:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "memcord": {
        "command": "uvx",
        "args": ["memcord"],
        "env": { "MEMCORD_DEFAULT_SLOT": "main" },
        "toolFilter": {
          "include": ["memcord_auto_save", "memcord_read"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify the server is registered with:

How to Use This Skill

When activated, this skill gives you two tools:

memcord_auto_save — Save the current conversation to persistent memory. Call this at the end of meaningful conversations or whenever the user asks you to remember something. No slot setup required.

memcord_read — Recall everything stored in memory. Call this at the start of a new conversation to resume context, or when the user asks "what do you remember?" or "what did we discuss before?".

When to auto-save

• User says "remember this", "save this", "keep this in mind"
• End of a session with important decisions or conclusions
• After completing a task the user may reference again

When to read

• User says "what do you remember?", "remind me", "what did we discuss?"
• Start of a new session when continuity is expected
• Before answering questions that likely depend on past context
