- * 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 (12):
- *   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- *   memory_supersede   — replace an outdated memory with a current one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
- *
- * Run: npx tsx src/mcp.ts
- * Config: add to ~/.claude.json or .mcp.json
