# Archivist MCP

> Use this tool when you need to persist and retrieve project context across multiple development sessions, solving problems of knowledge loss and context switching. The Archivist MCP takes in project decisions, architecture context, and rules as inputs and provides durable, searchable context as output, utilizing a three-tier memory model and hybrid retrieval. It is ideal for coding agents requiring a local-first memory layer to maintain continuity and facilitate human review through a WebUI.
