recall

recall is a command for Claude Code from michael-denyer/memory-mcp. It costs 4 tokens per session (181 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for searching stored memories by meaning rather than only by exact words. It can also show memories connected through a knowledge graph, which is a map of related information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding project facts, previous decisions, commands, code patterns, and related memories using narrow, balanced, or broad searches.
Why use it?
It helps recover relevant past context when you do not remember the exact wording or where it was stored.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

recall scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Search for memories using semantic similarity.

If a query is provided as $1, use it. Otherwise, ask the user what they want to recall.

Use the mcp__memory__recall tool with:

  • mode: "balanced" for general searches
  • mode: "precision" when user wants exact matches
  • mode: "exploratory" when user wants broad results
  • expand_relations: true to include related memories via knowledge graph

Present results clearly showing:

  • Memory content
  • Confidence level (high/medium/low)
  • Memory type and tags
  • Related memories if expanded

If no results found, suggest:

  • Trying a different query
  • Using /memory-mcp:list to browse all memories
  • Checking if the topic was ever stored
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
