- * MCP Server — Model Context Protocol interface for AgentWorkingMemory.
- *
- * Runs as a stdio-based MCP server that Claude Code connects to directly.
- * Uses the storage and engine layers in-process (no HTTP overhead).
- *
- * Tools exposed (16):
- *   memory_write       — store a memory (salience filter decides disposition)
- *   memory_recall      — activate memories by context (cognitive retrieval)
- *   memory_feedback    — report whether a recalled memory was useful
- *   memory_retract     — invalidate a wrong memory with optional correction
- *   memory_supersede   — replace an outdated memory with a current one
- *   memory_stats       — get memory health metrics
- *   memory_checkpoint  — save structured execution state (survives compaction)
- *   memory_restore     — restore state + targeted recall after compaction
- *   memory_task_add    — create a prioritized task
- *   memory_task_update — change task status, priority, or blocking
- *   memory_task_list   — list tasks filtered by status
- *   memory_task_next   — get the highest-priority actionable task
- *   memory_task_begin  — start a task (auto-checkpoint + recall)
- *   memory_task_end    — end a task (write summary + checkpoint)
- *   compress_output    — encode structured tool output as TOON (token-efficient, lossless)
- *   retrieve_original  — get the verbatim source for a compress_output ref
- *
- * Run: npx tsx src/mcp.ts
- * Config: add to ~/.claude.json or .mcp.json

+ * MCP Server — Model Context Protocol interface for AgentWorkingMemory.
+ *
+ * Runs as a stdio-based MCP server that Claude Code connects to directly.
+ * Uses the storage and engine layers in-process (no HTTP overhead).
+ *
+ * Tools exposed (19):
+ *   memory_write       — store a memory (salience filter decides disposition)
+ *   memory_recall      — activate memories by context (cognitive retrieval)
+ *   memory_feedback    — report whether a recalled memory was useful
+ *   memory_retract     — invalidate a wrong memory with optional correction
+ *   memory_supersede   — replace an outdated memory with a current one
+ *   memory_stats       — get memory health metrics
+ *   memory_whoami      — identify this instance, mode, store, and sibling agent spaces
+ *   memory_checkpoint  — save structured execution state (survives compaction)
+ *   memory_restore     — restore state + targeted recall after compaction
+ *   memory_task_add    — create a prioritized task
+ *   memory_task_update — change task status, priority, or blocking
+ *   memory_task_list   — list tasks filtered by status
+ *   memory_task_next   — get the highest-priority actionable task
+ *   memory_task_begin  — start a task (auto-checkpoint + recall)
+ *   memory_task_end    — end a task (write summary + checkpoint)
+ *   compress_output    — encode structured tool output as TOON (token-efficient, lossless)
+ *   retrieve_original  — get the verbatim source for a compress_output ref
+ *
+ * Run: npx tsx src/mcp.ts
+ * Config: add to ~/.claude.json or .mcp.json
