Show and tell: pairing VTCode with a local-first memory MCP server for cross-session recall

[samvallad33]

Disclosure up front: I maintain Vestige, so I am an interested party. Sharing this as a show-and-tell, not asking for any change to VTCode.

I have been running VTCode with Qwen and Kimi and the one thing I kept wanting was for it to remember decisions across sessions, not just within a run. Since VTCode already supports stdio MCP servers, I wired in a memory server and it carries context between sessions now without sending anything off the machine.

Vestige - Local-first cognitive memory MCP server for AI coding agents. FSRS-6 retention, prediction-error gating, active forgetting, spreading activation, 3D dashboard. Single Rust binary. npm install -g vestige-mcp-server.

Setup is just an MCP entry, same stdio pattern as any other server:

[[mcp.servers]]
name = "vestige"
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "vestige-mcp-server"]

After that the agent can write durable notes during one session and recall them in the next. Storage stays local by default, which fit the way I use VTCode with local and provider models.

Sharing in case it is useful to others running VTCode for longer projects. Happy to answer setup questions. Nice work on the tool-policy and provider support, the Kimi and Qwen handling is clean.
