Shared across agents

Every agent pointed at the same endpoint reads and writes one SQLite file.

MemoryLayer

~/.memorylayer/memories.db

SQLite

Every agent reads & writes the same namespace — one local store, shared context.

Memories live at ~/.memorylayer/memories.db. SSE clients connect to localhost:7400/sse; stdio clients spawn their own process but use the same data directory.

SSE vs stdio

SSE: agent connects to a running server. Stdio: agent spawns the process directly.

Note

SSE needs memorylayer --key … running. Stdio passes MEMORY_API_KEY in env — no background server, same shared store.

~/.claude/settings.json — stdio

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memorylayer": {
      "command": "memorylayer",
      "args": ["--stdio"],
      "env": { "MEMORY_API_KEY": "sk-ml-your-key-here" }
    }
  }
}

Test cross-agent

# Agent A stores:
remember({ content: "prefers dark mode", namespace: "user" })

# Agent B recalls:
recall({ query: "UI preferences", namespace: "user", preview: true })

Quickstart

Install and connect in three steps.
