Modern AI coding assistants suffer from "session amnesia" - they forget everything when you close the chat. This creates significant productivity drains:
- 20-30% of each session wasted re-explaining context
- No memory of previous conversations or decisions
- Fragmented knowledge across different tools and sessions
- No team collaboration on AI context
- Security risks from sensitive data in chat histories
UCP provides a universal memory layer that gives AI coding assistants persistent, structured context across sessions and tools.

Component | Technology | Purpose |
---|---|---|
Language Stack | TypeScript (primary) + Python (ML/AI) | Cross-platform compatibility |
Memory Server | Node.js + Fastify + MCP SDK | High-performance API server |
Vector Storage | pgvector (production) + ChromaDB (dev) | Semantic similarity search |

Cache Layer | Redis | Real-time context and sessions |
MCP Bridge | Anthropic MCP Protocol | Universal AI integration |
Git Integration | Git hooks + APIs | Version control sync |
Build System | Turborepo + PNPM workspaces | Monorepo orchestration |
The UCP memory system uses a structured approach to store different types of context:
{
"id": "uuid",
"type": "TaskState|CommitDelta|ReasoningEntry|SummaryCheckpoint|BranchMeta",
"project": "string",
"task_id": "string|null",
"branch": "string",
"timestamp": "ISO8601",
"content": { /* structured per type */ },
"status": "active|verified|archived"
}
- TaskState: Current work context, goals, and progress
- CommitDelta: Code changes with semantic analysis
- ReasoningEntry: AI conversations and decision rationale
- SummaryCheckpoint: Compressed historical context
- BranchMeta: Branch-specific context and relationships
- β‘ Response Time: <100ms context retrieval
- π― Accuracy: >95% context relevance
- π Scale: 10k+ memory entries per project
- πΎ Efficiency: <1MB storage per project-month
- IDEs: VS Code, JetBrains via native extensions
- AI Models: Multiple providers via MCP protocol
- Version Control: Git hooks for automatic context capture
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI integration
