Summary

Fixes #926 and #787.

memory_save accepts a project field but silently drops it — every memory
saved through the MCP tool ends up unscoped, no error, nothing to indicate it.
memory_recall/memory_smart_search don't accept project at all, so even
correctly-scoped memories can't be filtered back out through the MCP tools.

End result: nothing saved via memory_save ever shows up in a project's
SessionStart context injection, since that's scoped by project.

Fix

project now flows through on all three tools — save, recall, and smart-search
— and stays optional, so existing unscoped usage is unaffected.

Testing

Verified a memory saved with project set now persists correctly, is filtered
correctly on read, and actually appears in that project's SessionStart digest
afterward. Full suite passes.

Out of scope

A related report (#751, project dropped at the storage layer on a different
deployment) didn't reproduce here — leaving it open.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional project filtering to memory recall and smart search.
    • Project values are trimmed and forwarded when saving, recalling, or searching memories.
    • Local memory results can be scoped to a specific project, while unfiltered searches include all projects.
    • Smart search applies project filters across sessions and memory records.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for project forwarding, filtering, isolation, and fallback behavior.

memory_save's inputSchema advertised a project field, but validate()
and handleProxy() in src/mcp/standalone.ts never read it, so it was
silently dropped before reaching /agentmemory/remember (rohitg00#926).

memory_recall and memory_smart_search had no project field at all in
their inputSchema, so a memory saved with project set could not be
read back scoped to that project through the MCP tools (rohitg00#787).

Fix:
- validate(): extract project for memory_save, memory_recall, and
  memory_smart_search.
- handleProxy(): forward project into the POST bodies for
  /agentmemory/remember, /agentmemory/search, and
  /agentmemory/smart-search.
- tools-registry.ts: add project to the memory_recall and
  memory_smart_search inputSchema (memory_save already had it).

Adds regression tests in mcp-standalone-proxy.test.ts that exercise
handleToolCall (validate + handleProxy) directly, asserting project
appears in each outgoing request body — the previous test file only
covered mem::remember against a mocked KV store and never exercised
this MCP shim, which is why the bug shipped unnoticed.

Verified via manual smoke test against a local server: memory_save
persists project (confirmed via GET /agentmemory/memories), and
memory_recall correctly scopes results to the given project (backed
by mem::search's existing project filter).

Note: memory_smart_search forwards project to the server, and it is
honored for lesson recall, but mem::smart-search's main hybrid-search
results are not filtered by project server-side (src/functions/smart-
search.ts only threads project into recallLessons, not into the
hybridResults filter). That's a backend gap in mem::smart-search
itself, not a transport bug in this MCP bridge — filed separately,
not fixed in this PR.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Standalone MCP validation and tool schemas now accept optional trimmed project values. Proxy requests forward these values to save, recall, and smart-search endpoints. Local storage and smart search apply project filtering. Tests cover proxy, fallback, resolution, and unscoped behavior.

Changes

Project-scoped memory operations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Project request contracts and validation
src/mcp/standalone.ts, src/mcp/tools-registry.ts
MCP schemas and standalone validation accept optional trimmed project values for save, recall, and smart-search requests.
Proxy forwarding and local project scoping
src/mcp/standalone.ts, test/mcp-standalone-proxy.test.ts
Proxy requests forward project to memory endpoints. Local saves persist the value. Local recall and smart-search return only matching project records when scoped.
Smart-search project resolution and filtering
src/functions/smart-search.ts, test/smart-search.test.ts
Smart search resolves projects through session and synthetic memory records, caches lookups, filters results before applying limits, and preserves unresolved results. Tests cover matching, mismatched, unresolved, and unscoped searches.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 4a3d5

Project-scoped searches may still return unscoped results when the proxy fails and the fallback path is used. The risk is bounded, but the fallback behavior should remain an explicit owner follow-up before or after merge.

Preserve project scope in the local fallback.

When the proxy fails, handleToolCall calls handleLocal. The local save path does not persist v.project, and local recall and smart search ignore it. A scoped save loses its scope, and a fallback search can return memories from another project. Persist and enforce the project scope, or return the proxy error for scoped requests.

Test the trimmed project contract.

These tests use an already normalized value. They do not detect a regression that forwards whitespace instead of the trimmed project identifier.

Pass " acme-widgets " in one memory_save test and one recall-or-smart-search test. Assert that each request body contains "acme-widgets".

Comment thread src/mcp/tools-registry.ts
- mem::smart-search now filters hybrid results by project, not just
  lessons. Previously data.project only reached recallLessons(), so a
  project-scoped memory_smart_search still returned every project's
  observations. Resolves each hit's project via its session (falling
  back to a KV.memories probe for synthetic 'memory' sessions), same
  pattern as mem::search's existing project filter. Unresolvable
  projects pass through unscoped rather than being incorrectly
  excluded.

- standalone.ts's handleLocal fallback now persists project on
  memory_save and scopes memory_recall/memory_smart_search to it.
  Previously a scoped request during a server outage would silently
  drop project on save and return unscoped results on read — the
  same bug class as rohitg00#926/rohitg00#787, just in the local-KV fallback path
  instead of the proxy path.

- Added a whitespace-trimming regression test for memory_save/
  memory_recall so a future change that forwards an untrimmed
  project value would be caught.

All addressing CodeRabbit's review comments on PR rohitg00#1195.

Addressed all three in 78833f7:

  1. mem::smart-search now filters hybrid results by project too, not just lessons — same session→project resolution as mem::search (with the KV.memories fallback for synthetic memory sessions).
  2. handleLocal fallback now persists/filters project as well, so it doesn't get dropped when the proxy is down.
  3. Added a whitespace-trim test.

New tests in smart-search.test.ts and mcp-standalone-proxy.test.ts, full suite still green.

- projectFilter is now computed before the expandIds early-return
  branch and applied there too. Previously expandIds + project could
  return observations from other projects (the same class of leak
  rohitg00#554 fixed for agentId, just for project). recallLessons() now
  gets the same normalized/trimmed projectFilter instead of raw
  data.project, so whitespace no longer causes hybrid-result and
  lesson filtering to disagree.

- filterByProject is now generic (ProjectResolvable) so the same
  session/memory resolution logic covers both the hybrid-results path
  and the expandIds path, and resolves lookups via Promise.all with
  promise-cached session/memory lookups instead of a sequential
  await loop — a project-filtered search can over-fetch up to 300
  hits, so serial resolution was an unnecessary latency hit.

- Added graphScore to the HybridSearchResult test fixtures (required
  field, missed because test/ is excluded from tsconfig.json so tsc
  didn't catch it).

Addresses CodeRabbit's second review pass on PR rohitg00#1195.

Fixed in 4a3d542:

  1. expandIds now goes through the same project filter — moved projectFilter before the early-return branch, and recallLessons() gets the trimmed value instead of raw data.project.
  2. filterByProject is now generic and resolves lookups via Promise.all with promise-cached session/memory lookups, instead of a serial loop.
  3. Added graphScore to the two new test fixtures.
