Two-minute activation
Make your agent remember its next session.
Install locally, store one real decision, start a fresh session, and prove that recall works. No account or hosted service.
Step 1 · Install
Choose your agent
Installation registers a local MCP server. Restart or open a new task after registration so the tools are discovered.
Step 2 · Create a memory
Use a fact worth carrying forward
Ask: “Remember that production uses api-v2 because deployment decision #84 replaced v1.”
remember(content="Production uses api-v2", caused_by=["deployment_84"], tags=["production"], importance=0.9)
Step 3 · Prove persistence
Start a new session
Open a fresh session and ask: “Which API does production use, and why?”
Expected recall
The agent returns api-v2 through MADB.
Expected lineage
trace_cause links it to deployment decision #84.
Step 4 · Keep facts current
Replace, don’t contradict
Use supersede when a fact changes. Current recall returns its replacement; as_of reconstructs history.
If activation fails
Check uvx, restart, then inspect tools.
Confirm uvx is available, restart the client after registration, and ask the agent to list MADB capabilities before testing recall.
