Using Save/Recall Context Tools

The Kompanion MCP backend exposes kom.memory.v1.save_context and kom.memory.v1.recall_context so editor-embedded agents can persist and retrieve working memory.

Registering the tools

  1. Ensure the MCP client loads the server manifest (see src/mcp/ToolSchemas.json).
  2. Add both tool names to the capability list you pass into the MCP handshake.
  3. When the client calls register_default_tools, they become available to dispatch via KomMcpServer::dispatch.

Client adapter hints

  • Codey (Google) map Codeys tool_invocation hooks to MCP calls. Persist summary/state blobs after each completion:
    {
      "tool": "kom.memory.v1.save_context",
      "arguments": {
        "key": "codey/session",
        "content": {"summary": "Refactored PgDal for TTL support"},
        "tags": ["codey", "memory"]
      }
    }
    
    On session start, call kom.memory.v1.recall_context with the namespace/key to warm the local context buffer.
  • Claude Code (Anthropic) use the tool_use event to flush conversational checkpoints:
    {
      "tool": "kom.memory.v1.recall_context",
      "arguments": {
        "limit": 5,
        "tags": ["task"]
      }
    }
    
    Feed the returned snippets back into Claudes prompt so follow-up completions have grounding data.

Response fields

  • save_context returns { "id": string, "created_at": ISO8601 }.
  • recall_context returns { "items": [{ "id", "key?", "content", "tags", "created_at" }] }.

Testing locally

cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

These commands build kom_mcp plus the test harness that exercises the new context tools.
