past.dev MCP servers

past.dev is memory for AI agents. Two endpoints, /ingest and /recall: an agent writes what happened, then asks a question and gets back what is true now, with dated sources it can cite.

This repository holds the Model Context Protocol manifest for past.dev's two MCP servers. Both are remote: there is nothing to install, no package to pull, no container to run. Point a client at a URL.

Server	URL	Authentication	What it does
Docs	https://past.dev/mcp	none	Search and read the Memory API documentation
Account	https://app.past.dev/mcp	OAuth	Work with an organization, its projects, keys, members, access rules, usage and memory

The account server opens a browser for OAuth on first use. No API key to paste.

Clients that do not speak Streamable HTTP natively can bridge through mcp-remote:

  "mcpServers": {
    "past": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.past.dev/mcp"] }
  }
}

The docs server

No account, no key, no rate limit worth mentioning. It is there so an agent can read the Memory API before writing a line against it.

Tool	What it returns
search_docs	Matching documentation pages with an excerpt, over the full corpus
read_page	One page in full
list_pages	Every page available

Verified against the live server on 29 September 2026.

The account server

OAuth, and the tools a caller sees are filtered by their role in the organization. It covers projects, API keys, members, access rules, audiences, usage and the request log, and it reaches memory itself: recall, remember and answer, plus get_timeline, get_lineage and explain_ingestion for looking at how a fact came to be.

The full, current list is in server.json and at /.well-known/mcp.json, which is generated from the server rather than written by hand.

The manifest

server.json follows the MCP Registry schema. The name dev.past/past is the reverse-DNS form of past.dev, which is what the registry requires for domain-based authentication.
