About Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) MCP Server
Connect your Mem.ai workspace to any AI agent and take full control of your personal and team knowledge through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 12 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Knowledge Orchestration — Create new mems (notes) using Markdown directly from your agent, instantly transforming textual ideas into indexed knowledge vectors
- AI Semantic Search — Leverage dense semantic similarity to find notes across your entire workspace, identifying relevant information based on meaning rather than explicit keywords
- Deep Content Retrieval — Extract the full scalar text body and context metadata for specific mems to retrieve precise project details securely
- Collection Management — Establish thematic groupings (Collections) and attach live mems structurally to maintain organized project boundaries natively
- Quick Capture (Mem It) — Trigger rapid capture blocks for links, snippets, or raw thoughts, allowing your agent to log ideas without manual dashboard navigation
- Contextual Updates — Mutate existing mem content to keep project logs and meeting notes up-to-date while preserving historical knowledge mappings
- Resource Inventory — List all available mems or explore specific collections to understand your knowledge distribution and team documentation footprint
The Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 12 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) MCP Tools for Windsurf (12)
These 12 tools become available when you connect Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) to Windsurf via MCP:
add_mem_to_collection
Attach live Mems structurally inside explicitly mapped Collections
create_collection
Establish new logical thematic groupings mapping notes
create_mem
ai. Converts plain textual knowledge to indexed vectors immediately mapped implicitly via AI. Create a new mem (note) in Mem.ai using Markdown
delete_mem
No recovery is possible via API. Irreversibly vaporize a mem document globally
get_collection
Inspect specific Collection metadata elements
get_mem
Retrieve explicit full context metadata by target Mem ID
list_collection_mems
Query ALL explicit Mem bodies inside specific Collections
list_collections
Query explicitly tracked thematic Collections arrays
list_mems
Returns identifiers and raw bodies. Careful, this returns heavy payloads. List all raw mems across the global workspace
mem_it
Quick capture shortcut generating automated blocks
search_mems
AI semantic search looking into all indexed knowledge
update_mem
Replaces absolute text values so ensure `get_mem` was run to append rather than destroy inadvertently. Update pre-existing mem content natively swapping strings
Example Prompts for Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with Mem AI (Knowledge Workspace) immediately.
"Search my mems for anything related to 'quarterly business review'"
"Create a new mem with today's standup notes in Markdown"
