MCP servers for agent memory in Claude Desktop
691 MCP servers for agent memory in the catalog list Claude Desktop as a supported host. These are the 15 that rank highest, ordered by adoption, freshness and documentation. Minutes, Codebase Memory and Deja Vu lead the list. Claude Desktop reads them from claude_desktop_config.json (Settings > Developer > Edit Config); .mcpb extensions install from Settings > Desktop app > Manage (next to Extensions).
