Introduction

As AI-assisted development tools rapidly evolve, Claude Code has become the programming assistant of choice for many developers. However, standard Claude loses all previous memory at the start of each conversation, meaning you need to repeatedly introduce yourself, project context, and preferences. The emergence of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), particularly the integration of Memory MCP servers, provides an elegant solution to this problem.

This article delves into best practices for Memory MCP integration, with a special focus on token usage impact and practical optimization strategies.
