# Features

> Discover the 5 simple yet powerful features of MemBridge Memory MCP Server

## Simple by Design

MemBridge intentionally offers only 5 core functions. We've eliminated complex features to ensure anyone can use it without technical expertise or reading lengthy documentation.

## The 5 Core Functions

MemBridge provides exactly 5 functions:

* **Save Memory** - Store important information for later use
* **Retrieve Memory** - Search and find your saved memories
* **Update Memory** - Keep your information current
* **Delete Memory** - Remove memories you no longer need
* **List All Memories** - View and manage all your saved memories

## How It Works

### Cross-Tool Memory Sharing

The key innovations of MemBridge are **cross-tool compatibility** and **cross-session explicitness**. Unlike native AI memory features that only work within a single service, MemBridge enables all your AI tools to access the same memories.

Moreover, even within the same AI tool, when you work across multiple chat sessions, MemBridge provides **explicit, lossless information transfer**. Native memory features rely on automatic search, which often loses important details. MemBridge allows you to save specific information and retrieve it exactly as stored—no ambiguity, no information loss.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Save Once">
    Save a memory in any connected AI tool or through the web dashboard
  </Step>

  <Step title="Access Everywhere">
    The same memory becomes instantly available in all your other AI tools
  </Step>

  <Step title="Stay in Sync">
    Updates or deletions are reflected across all tools automatically
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Example Workflow

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Morning: Claude" icon="sunrise">
    You're writing an article in Claude and mention:

    "Remember that I prefer using active voice and keeping sentences under 20 words."

    Claude saves this to MemBridge.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Afternoon: Cursor" icon="sun">
    You're coding in Cursor and ask:

    "Write a README for this project."

    Cursor retrieves your writing preferences from MemBridge and applies them automatically.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Evening: ChatGPT" icon="moon">
    You're researching in ChatGPT and ask:

    "Summarize this article following my preferred writing style."

    ChatGPT knows your preferences without you repeating them.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Memory Management

### Two Ways to Manage Memories

You have full control over your memories through two interfaces:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="AI Assistant">
    Manage memories through conversation by mentioning MemBridge:

    ```
    "Use MemBridge to remember that I'm working on a Next.js e-commerce project using Stripe for payments."

    "Use MemBridge to check what you know about my current project."

    "Use MemBridge to update my project memory: we switched from Stripe to PayPal."

    "Use MemBridge to forget about my old project."

    "Use MemBridge to show me all my saved memories."
    ```

    Your AI assistant will use the appropriate MemBridge function when you mention it.

    <Tip>It's recommended to explicitly mention "MemBridge" or "use MemBridge" in your requests to ensure your AI uses the MemBridge tools reliably.</Tip>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Web Dashboard">
    Manage memories visually through the [dashboard](https://membridge.ai/dashboard):

    * **Create**: Click "New Memory" to add information
    * **View**: See all your memories in one place
    * **Edit**: Click any memory to update its content
    * **Delete**: Remove unwanted memories
    * **Export**: Download all your data

    <Tip>The dashboard is perfect for bulk operations or when you want a visual overview.</Tip>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Memory Structure

Each memory consists of two simple parts:

<CodeGroup>
  ```json Example Memory theme={null}
  {
    "title": "Development Stack",
    "content": "I use Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and deploy on Vercel. I prefer functional components with hooks and write tests using Jest and React Testing Library."
  }
  ```

  ```json Another Example theme={null}
  {
    "title": "Dietary Restrictions",
    "content": "Allergic to shellfish. Vegetarian. Prefers spicy food."
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  Keep memories concise and focused. One topic per memory makes them easier to retrieve and update.
</Note>
