What memcp_remember does on Memcp

AI agents use memcp_remember to create or update resources in Memcp — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Memcp environment.

Why memcp_remember needs a policy

The tool name 'remember' strongly implies writing/storing data to persistent memory, consistent with the server's purpose of storing knowledge. Sibling tools like 'memcp_forget' (delete) and 'memcp_get_context' (read) further suggest this tool creates or updates stored memories. Classified as Write since storage is generally reversible (the forget tool exists). Confidence is moderate because the description is empty.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'memcp_remember' on a server described as allowing Claude to 'store, organize, and retrieve knowledge across sessions' — the 'remember' verb implies storing/writing data.

How to control memcp_remember

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Memcp, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for memcp_remember:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "memcp_remember": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "memcp_remember_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

memcp_remember stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Memcp — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
