@putervision/state-memory-mcp is a zero-infrastructure, deterministic Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI coding assistants (such as Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini, or Copilot) with a structured, persistent SQLite graph for tracking workflow state—tasks, decisions, artifacts, plans, blockers, and their semantic relationships.
🌐 Official Documentation & Website: statememorymcp.com
Prerequisites: Node.js >= 18.18.0
# 1. Install globally
npm install -g @putervision/state-memory-mcp
# 2. Navigate to your project directory
cd your-project
# 3. Initialize state-memory-mcp
# Creates .state-memory-mcp/, updates .gitignore, registers project,
# and scaffolds IDE instructions and MCP configs for Cursor, Claude, VS Code, Windsurf, etc.
state-memory-mcp init
# Done! Restart your IDE or Agent Manager to activate.# Run directly via binary (after global install)
state-memory-mcp run
# Re-initialize across all registered workspace projects
state-memory-mcp init-global- 🧠 Deterministic State Memory: Zero LLM in the loop for memory operations; fast, deterministic SQLite graph traversals.
- ⚡ 82 Core MCP Tools: Full CRUD, relationship linking, DAG cycle checks, FTS5 search, TF-IDF RAG, time-travel history rollback, Spec-Driven Development, and auto-healing validation.
- 📉 Up to 462× Token Savings: Offloads context to a local SQLite database, avoiding context bloat and linear prompt degradation.
- 🚀 67%–74% Latency Reduction: Eliminates multi-step file scanning loops; agents retrieve unblocked tasks and blockers in milliseconds.
- 🤝 Multi-Agent Blackboard: Shared Context Store allowing parallel subagents to publish decisions, tasks, and blocker updates safely.
- 🎨 Interactive 3D Visualizer: Browser-based dark-mode 3D WebGL force-directed graph visualizer (
state-memory-mcp view). - 🛡️ 100% Local & Private: Local-first architecture; all state stays inside
.state-memory-mcp/in your workspace.
