Persistent memory for AI agents — audio intelligence + Music Memory ingestion and recall

Developer ToolsTypeScriptv1.4.0

🧠 BlueColumn MCP Server

Give Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent persistent memory across sessions.

npm version License BlueColumn

2-minute setup. Zero-config. Audio-native. Works with every MCP client.


MCP server for BlueColumn — persistent semantic memory for AI agents.

Give any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI) the ability to remember, recall, and store observations across sessions.

Tools

Core memory

ToolDescription
rememberIngest text, audio, or documents into persistent memory
recallQuery memory with natural language, get AI-synthesized answer + sources
noteStore lightweight agent observations as searchable vectors
namespaceShow the configured namespace

Music Memory (new)

ToolDescription
music_rememberStore a musical recording, practice session, or lesson with rich musical context — instrument, key, tempo, technique tags, chord progression, notes. Audio is transcribed; the structured context is embedded alongside so a coach/teacher agent recalls it with full musical understanding
music_recallSearch stored musical content with musical filters — instrument, technique, or style. E.g. "show me every take with barre chord issues" or "what did we practice in E minor last month"

Audio Intelligence

ToolDescription
audio_ingestIngest calls, voice notes, podcasts, meetings, or music and extract semantic memory
audio_recallSearch audio memories and get audio-backed citations
call_prepareGet memory context before a voice call starts
call_completeStore what changed after a call ends
sound_analyzeDetect and index non-speech audio events
music_analyzeExtract tempo, structure, instrumentation, mood from music

Streaming audio memory

ToolDescription
streaming_audio_ingestIngest edge-device audio chunks (car, doorbell, wearable) into per-device streaming memory
streaming_audio_recallRecall over a device's streamed audio history

Music Memory example

Store a practice session:

music_remember {
  "audio_url": "https://example.com/take3.mp3",
  "title": "Week 3 practice — barre chords, Sep 7",
  "instrument": "guitar",
  "musical_key": "E minor",
  "tempo_bpm": 92,
  "technique_tags": ["barre-chords", "hammer-on"],
  "style_tags": ["blues"],
  "chord_progression": ["Em", "Am", "B7"],
  "notes": "F-shape barre still buzzy on the B string; Fmaj7 subst worked well"
}

Then recall it musically:

music_recall { "q": "which takes had barre chord issues?", "instrument": "guitar" }

Setup

1. Get your BlueColumn API key

Sign up free at bluecolumn.ai — 60 min audio + 100 queries/month, no credit card required.

2. Install

npm install -g bluecolumn-mcp

3. Configure Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bluecolumn": {
      "command": "bluecolumn-mcp",
      "env": {
        "BLUECOLUMN_API_KEY": "bc_live_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Restart Claude

Done. Claude now remembers everything you tell it to.

What Makes BlueColumn Different

FeatureBlueColumn MCPOther MCP Memory Servers
Audio ingestion✅ Native (transcribe + store)❌ Text only
Plain English recall✅ "What did we decide about pricing?"❌ Keyword/vector only
Setup time~2 minutes~10-30 minutes
Cloud managed✅ No infra to run⚠️ Most require local DB
Namespace isolation✅ Built-in per key⚠️ Manual

Examples

Store project context

Remember: We're building a React component library called Aether with Tailwind CSS v4.

Recall across sessions (new conversation)

What project was I working on? What was my tech stack?

→ Claude recalls: "You're building Aether, a React component library with Tailwind CSS v4"

Store audio notes

Record a voice memo → BlueColumn transcribes it → Claude remembers it.

Advanced

Custom namespace

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bluecolumn": {
      "command": "bluecolumn-mcp",
      "env": {
        "BLUECOLUMN_API_KEY": "bc_live_YOUR_KEY",
        "BLUECOLUMN_NAMESPACE": "my_project"
      }
    }
  }
}

Multiple environments

Use different namespaces for work, personal, and side projects. Each stays isolated.

Installation

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

bash
npx -y bluecolumn-mcp

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-bluecolumnconsulting-lgtm-bluecolumn-memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "bluecolumn-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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.
