Igor Lins e Silva 0cb9ee5c58 fix(website): correct false claims and stale numbers in live docs
- Landing: replace nonexistent `mempalace remember` CLI demo with real
  `mempalace mine ./notes`
- Landing: soften unverifiable absolutes ("forever available",
  "100% recall by design", "<50 ms", "90%+ compression",
  "two-thousand-year-old", "tens of thousands of entries")
- MCP tool count: 19 → 29 across mcp-integration, claude-code, openclaw,
  and modules; expand tool overview with Drawers, Tunnels, and System
  categories to match mcp_server.py
- Wake-up token range: ~170–900 → ~600–900 in cli/api-reference/python-api
  to match cli.py help text and concept docs
- Gemini CLI: move `--scope user` before target name and add `--`
  separator so `-m mempalace.mcp_server` isn't parsed as Gemini flags

MCP Integration

MemPalace provides 29 tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), giving any MCP-compatible AI full read/write access to your palace.

Setup

Setup Helper

MemPalace includes a setup helper that prints the exact configuration commands for your environment:

mempalace mcp

Manual Connection

claude mcp add mempalace -- python -m mempalace.mcp_server

With Custom Palace Path

claude mcp add mempalace -- python -m mempalace.mcp_server --palace /path/to/palace

Now your AI has all 29 tools available. Ask it anything:

"What did we decide about auth last month?"

Claude calls mempalace_search automatically, gets verbatim results, and answers you.

Compatible Tools

MemPalace works with any tool that supports MCP:

  • Claude Code — native via plugin or manual MCP
  • OpenClaw — via official skill, see OpenClaw Skill
  • ChatGPT — via MCP bridge
  • Cursor — native MCP support
  • Gemini CLI — see Gemini CLI guide

Memory Protocol

When the AI first calls mempalace_status, it receives the Memory Protocol — a behavior guide that teaches it to:

  1. On wake-up: Call mempalace_status to load the palace overview
  2. Before responding about any person, project, or past event: search first, never guess
  3. If unsure: Say "let me check" and query the palace
  4. After each session: Write diary entries to record what happened
  5. When facts change: Invalidate old facts, add new ones

This protocol is what turns storage into memory — the AI knows to verify before speaking.
