What is Cline Memory Bank?
A Model Context Protocol server that provides persistent project context management for AI-assisted development, specifically designed to work with the Cline VSCode Extension. It helps maintain consistent project context across development sessions by managing project details, session state, progress tracking, and technical decisions.
How to use Cline Memory Bank?
Install prerequisites (Node.js v16+, Cline extension), clone and build the server, then run the initialization command from the project root to create the memory bank files and configure Cline MCP settings automatically. Once initialized, use MCP tools to update context, record decisions, or track progress, or add the system prompt to .clinerules for automatic context checks before and after every task.
