TinyContext Guide – How to Add Long-Term Memory to an AI Agent (Step by Step)

This guide explains how to give an AI agent long-term memory using TinyContext, an open-source memory server that stores facts in a single local SQLite file, by adding save and recall tools and instructing the agent when to use them. It covers setup via MCP in Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, a roughly 60-line Python agent example, and an HTTP API for other languages, plus guidance on what to save and how recall stays within a token budget.
