What It Does

Adaptive Recall is a hosted memory server that stores, retrieves, and manages long-term memory for AI applications. It connects via MCP or REST API.

  • Multi-strategy retrieval: four search strategies run in parallel (vector similarity, temporal recency, full-text keyword, knowledge graph traversal) and the system learns which to prioritize for each type of query
  • Cognitive scoring: results ranked using ACT-R activation modeling from cognitive science, factoring in recency, access frequency, entity connections, and validated confidence
  • Knowledge graph: entities and relationships extracted automatically from stored memories, used as a retrieval pathway alongside text similarity
  • Memory lifecycle: memories progress through stages, gain or lose confidence based on corroborating evidence, and fade naturally when unused
  • Self-improving: ML models train on your usage patterns, every parameter change must pass statistical validation against real query history before being adopted
  • Retrieval quality monitoring: the system verifies its own retrieval consistency and identifies knowledge gaps

MCP Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible tool):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adaptive-recall": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://YOUR_SERVER_URL/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Claude Code, add this to .mcp.json in your project or ~/.claude/settings.json for global access. For Gemini CLI, add to ~/.gemini/settings.json using httpUrl instead of url. For Codex, add to your Codex MCP configuration.

REST API

Every action is also available as an HTTP endpoint at https://YOUR_SERVER_URL/v1/. All requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Actions

ActionDescription
storeSave a new memory. Generates embeddings and extracts entities automatically.
recallSearch memories using multi-strategy retrieval with cognitive scoring.
updateModify an existing memory. Re-embeds automatically if content changes.
forgetRemove a memory by ID or by finding the closest match to a query.
graphExplore the knowledge graph, traversing entity relationships by name and depth.
statusSystem health, memory counts, confidence distribution, and knowledge gap detection.
snapshotGet a formatted overview of stored memories, organized by type.
feedbackSend feedback directly to the Adaptive Recall developers.

Memory Types

When storing memories, assign a type that affects how the memory is managed:

Learning types (evolve over time, gain/lose confidence, have lifecycle stages):

  • general_knowledge - facts, observations, reference information
  • user_knowledge - information about people and their preferences

Lookup types (static reference, no lifecycle):

  • callable_scripts - tool and script references
  • work_project - project tracking, tasks, deadlines
  • cross_reference - pointers to external information and resources
  • learned_procedure - multi-step workflows and procedures

Pricing

Free, Starter, Pro, and Business plans available. See adaptiverecall.com for details.

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
npx -y adaptive-recall

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-aiappsapi-adaptive-recall": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "adaptive-recall"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
