Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Decision memory for AI agents: record, revisit, and resolve consequential choices.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Search & AI memory

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http decrec https://decrec.io/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "decrec": {
      "url": "https://decrec.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "decrec": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://decrec.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Create2https://…3

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

  • More stars than 0% of the other 7223 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 36% of the other 7223 servers in this category
  • Basic checks equal to or better than 100% of the other 7223 servers in this category

Common questions

Is DecRec safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2026.9.1) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

DecRec

AI explores. You decide. DecRec remembers.

Shared decision memory across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, and other agents.

Your agent forgot. DecRec didn't.

3 weeks ago — ChatGPT

Keep accounts single-user until we validate team demand.

✓ Committed as DEC-8

Today — Cursor, fresh conversation

Before changing the account model: DEC-8 deliberately kept accounts

single-user while validating demand. Want to revisit it?

One decision. Any agent.


How it works

MCP gives the agent access to decisions. The Skill teaches it when those decisions matter.

Agent

├─ Skill → judgment: when decisions matter └─ MCP → durable decision state ↕ DecRec

LayerRole
SkillJudgment: what counts as a decision, when to recall, when to capture, when to stop.
MCPDurable state: search, create, update, admit, commit, and archive decisions.
DecRecThe shared system of record across chats and agents.

Tools without the skill still write; the skill without tools cannot persist across agents.


Why decisions, not everything?

DecRec remembers decisions, not AI output. Agents can prepare and surface records; a human commits the decision.

Your agent already has access to code, chats, docs, and project context. DecRec doesn't try to remember all of it.

It keeps the smaller set of choices that constrain future work:

  • what you chose
  • why
  • what you considered
  • who committed it
  • what would justify revisiting it

The goal isn't more context. It's giving a fresh agent the reasoning behind decisions already made.


What the Skill does

  • Stay in scope — don't advance past what was asked (no catalog → shape → update → explore → admit → commit chain unless requested).
  • Recall — search only at a decision boundary (consequential choice that constrains later work). Never before ordinary coding.
  • Capture — offer once when a consequential fork settles; never auto-create; never interrupt trivia.
  • Humans commit — the agent can prepare and surface records, but it does not place commitments.

Full protocol: skills/decrec/SKILL.md. Exploration prompts: skills/decrec/explore-prompts.md.

Try it

After install, allow the MCP connection, then paste one of these into a new conversation:

Live choice
Should we [option A] or [option B]?

Work through it from more than one side, then record the decision in DecRec.

Or substitute any real decision you're working through.

A thread
Here is a [Slack thread / meeting notes]. What is worth recording in DecRec? Don't record until I pick.

[paste]

Already picked
We picked [option A] over [option B]. Record that decision in DecRec.

What we learned teaching agents when to remember

Useful even if you never use DecRec. Steal these for your own agent skills.

1. Capture only when all three hold

Alternatives (≥2 paths), consequence (constrains later work), future relevance (someone will ask *why*).

2. Don't advance past the ask

Match the stage they requested; stop there.

3. Recall only at a decision boundary

Not before ordinary coding, bugfixes, or implementing an already-chosen approach.

4. Fail-fast and branch on error codes

locked, in_flight, and pin_mismatch mean stop (or reload). Don't infer from the chat and retry.

5. Isolated role passes

Explore from clean contexts; the agent synthesizes options, the agent does not commit.

6. No invented facts

Don't invent stack, vendors, tenancy, or business metrics the brief doesn't state.

See skills/decrec/SKILL.md for the full rules.


Privacy

This plugin connects to the remote MCP server at https://decrec.io/mcp (OAuth). DecRec stores account email, organization membership, and decision content you choose to record. Details: Terms & data policy. Support: hello@decrec.io.
