# MCP Memory Bank Server 🧠
A powerful, context management system for Large Language Models (LLMs). Built with ChromaDB and modern embedding technologies, it provides persistent, project-specific memory capabilities that enhance your AI's understanding and response quality.
✨ Key Features
- 🚀 High Performance: Optimized vector storage with ChromaDB
- 🔒 Project Isolation: Separate context spaces for different projects
- 🔍 Smart Search: Both semantic and keyword-based search capabilities
- 🔄 Real-time Updates: Dynamic content management with automatic chunking
- 🎯 Precise Recall: Advanced embedding generation via @xenova/transformers
- 🐳 Easy Deployment: Docker-ready with persistent storage

🐛 Troubleshooting
Common Issues
-
ChromaDB Connection Failed
# Check if container is running docker ps | grep chroma # Restart if needed docker-compose restart
-
Memory Issues
- Ensure Docker has sufficient memory allocation
- Consider reducing batch sizes in heavy operations
🤝 Contributing
- Fork the repository
- Create your feature branch (
git checkout -b feature/AmazingFeature
) - Commit your changes (
git commit -m 'Add some AmazingFeature'
) - Push to the branch (
git push origin feature/AmazingFeature
) - Open a Pull Request
📈 Performance Considerations
- Vector operations scale with embedding dimensions
- Batch operations for better throughput
- Use appropriate chunk sizes (default: 512 tokens)
- Consider index optimization for large datasets
