MCP tools · 15 exposed · ~1,393 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
engram_consolidate ~111

Run a memory consolidation cycle. Promotes important memories upward, drops decayed entries. With merge=true, uses LLM to merge similar memories.

NameTypeReqDescription
decay_drop_thresholdnumber–Drop below this recency (default 0.01)
mergeboolean–Use LLM to merge similar memories
promote_min_importancenumber–Min importance to promote (default 0.6)
promote_thresholdinteger–Min access count to promote (default 3)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

engram_delete ~38

Delete a memory by ID. Use when a memory is outdated, incorrect, or redundant.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesMemory ID to delete

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

engram_extract ~55

Extract structured memories from raw text using LLM. Feed conversation logs or notes and get individual memories.

NameTypeReqDescription
auto_embedboolean–Generate embeddings (default true)
textstringyesRaw text to extract memories from

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

engram_health ~26

Detailed health check: uptime, RSS memory, embed cache stats, AI config status.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

engram_recall ~291

Hybrid semantic + keyword search with budget-aware retrieval. Fast by default (~30ms cached, ~1s first query). Optional rerank/expand add LLM calls (+2-4s each) — only use when needed.

NameTypeReqDescription
budget_tokensinteger–Max token budget
dryboolean–Skip touch/reinforcement on results (for background queries)
expandboolean–LLM query expansion (+1-2s). Use for short/vague queries like single words
layersarray–Filter by layers
limitinteger–Max results
min_importancenumber–Min importance threshold
min_scorenumber–Drop results below this score (0-1)
namespacestring–Filter by namespace (also includes "default" namespace automatically)
querystringyesSearch query
rerankboolean–Re-rank via LLM (+2-4s). Use only when result ordering is critical
sinceinteger–Only memories created after this unix ms timestamp
sort_bystring–Sort order (default: score)
sourcestring–Filter by source (e.g. session, extract, api)
tagsarray–Filter by tags (must have ALL specified)
untilinteger–Only memories created before this unix ms timestamp

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

engram_recent ~105

List recent memories by creation time. Good for session context recovery.

NameTypeReqDescription
hoursnumber–Look back N hours (default 2)
layerinteger–Filter by layer
limitinteger–Max results (default 20)
min_importancenumber–Minimum importance threshold
namespacestring–Filter by namespace (also includes "default" namespace automatically)

Restore a soft-deleted memory from trash back to its original layer.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesMemory ID to restore from trash

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

engram_resume ~182

Full memory bootstrap for session recovery. Returns core (permanent knowledge), working (ongoing context/decisions), buffer (transient), recent activity, and session notes. Use workspace tags to filter by current work context. Compact mode (default) minimizes token usage.

NameTypeReqDescription
budgetnumber–Max chars across all sections (default 8000, 0=unlimited)
compactboolean–Compact output: content+tags only (default true)
hoursnumber–Look back N hours for recent/sessions (default 4)

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

engram_store ~222

Store a memory. All memories start in Buffer and promote to Working/Core through access frequency and LLM quality gating. Procedural memories and lessons (tag=lesson) auto-promote to Working after 2h. Use supersedes to replace outdated memories by their ids.

NameTypeReqDescription
contentstringyesMemory content text
importancenumber–Importance 0-1 (default 0.5, bumps +0.02 on each recall)
kindstring–Memory type: semantic (facts, default), episodic (events), procedural (how-to, persists indefinitely)

sourcestring–Source identifier
supersedesarray–IDs of old memories this one replaces
sync_embedboolean–Wait for embedding generation before returning (default: false)
tagsarray–Tags for categorization

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

engram_trash ~36

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

engram_triggers ~61

io.github.kael-bit/engram exposes 15 tools: engram_store, engram_recall, engram_recent, engram_resume, engram_extract, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,393 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.kael-bit/engram MCP server still maintained?

io.github.kael-bit/engram is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
