Frequently Asked Questions about julien-mcp-basic-memory

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain context and memory across Claude sessions?▼

Persistent memory across Claude sessions stores context between restarts using an MCP server. This Skill installs a Basic Memory MCP that persists information in .mcp.json configuration, retrievable automatically when you restart Claude Code.

What is an MCP server and how does it enable memory persistence?▼

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is a protocol layer that extends Claude's capabilities. This Skill deploys a basic-memory MCP server via uvx, creating structured storage in .mcp.json that Claude Code reads on startup to restore prior session context.

How do I install and activate the basic memory MCP?▼

Say 'install basic memory mcp' to trigger installation. The Skill merges a basic-memory entry into your .mcp.json mcpServers section with uvx command and args, then restart Claude Code to activate persistent memory retrieval.

Do I need uv or uvx installed to use persistent memory MCP?▼

Yes, uvx is required; it comes bundled with uv. The Skill uses uvx to execute the basic-memory MCP server, so ensure uv is installed in your environment before activation.

Can I use this memory MCP with projects that require cross-session context retention?▼

Yes, this Skill is designed for projects needing cross-session memory. It stores and retrieves context automatically between Claude Code restarts, eliminating manual re-entry of prior session state.

What happens if .mcp.json doesn't exist when I install basic memory MCP?▼

The Skill creates .mcp.json if it doesn't exist, then adds the basic-memory server configuration. If it already exists, the installation merges the new entry without overwriting other MCP server definitions.
