Sam Valladares 5b90a73055 feat: Vestige v1.9.1 AUTONOMIC — self-regulating memory with graph visualization

Retention Target System: auto-GC low-retention memories during consolidation
(VESTIGE_RETENTION_TARGET env var, default 0.8). Auto-Promote: memories
accessed 3+ times in 24h get frequency-dependent potentiation. Waking SWR
Tagging: promoted memories get preferential 70/30 dream replay. Improved
Consolidation Scheduler: triggers on 6h staleness or 2h active use.

New tools: memory_health (retention dashboard with distribution buckets,
trend tracking, recommendations) and memory_graph (subgraph export with
Fruchterman-Reingold force-directed layout, up to 200 nodes).

Dream connections now persist to database via save_connection(), enabling
memory_graph traversal. Schema Migration V8 adds waking_tag, utility_score,
times_retrieved/useful columns and retention_snapshots table. 21 MCP tools.

v1.9.1 fixes: ConnectionRecord export, UTF-8 safe truncation, link_type
normalization, utility_score clamping, only-new-connections persistence,
70/30 split capacity fill, nonexistent center_id error handling.

Windsurf

Give Cascade a brain that remembers between sessions.

Windsurf has native MCP support through its Cascade AI. Add Vestige and Cascade remembers your architecture, preferences, and past decisions across every session.

Setup

1. Open the config file

Option A — Via UI:

Open Windsurf > Settings > Advanced Settings
Scroll to the "Cascade" section
Click "view the raw JSON config file"

Option B — Direct path:

Platform	Path
macOS / Linux	`~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`
Windows	`%USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json`

# macOS / Linux
open -e ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

2. Add Vestige

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vestige": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/vestige-mcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

With environment variable expansion (Windsurf-specific feature):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vestige": {
      "command": "${env:HOME}/.cargo/bin/vestige-mcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vestige": {
      "command": "C:\\Users\\you\\.cargo\\bin\\vestige-mcp.exe",
      "args": [],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Windsurf

Restart the IDE or refresh the Cascade panel.

4. Verify

Open Cascade and ask:

"What MCP tools do you have?"

You should see Vestige's tools listed.

First Use

In Cascade:

"Remember that this project uses Next.js 15 with the App Router and Drizzle ORM"

Start a new Cascade session, then:

"What framework does this project use?"

It remembers.

Project-Specific Memory

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vestige": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/vestige-mcp",
      "args": ["--data-dir", "${env:HOME}/projects/my-app/.vestige"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Important: Tool Limit

Windsurf has a hard cap of 100 tools across all MCP servers. Vestige uses 19 tools, leaving plenty of room for other servers.

Troubleshooting

Vestige not appearing in Cascade

Verify the config file is valid JSON:

cat ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json | python3 -m json.tool

Ensure you're using absolute paths (or ${env:HOME} expansion).
Check the Cascade panel for error messages.
Fully restart Windsurf.

Tool limit exceeded

If you have many MCP servers and exceed 100 total tools, Cascade will ignore excess servers. Remove unused servers or use Vestige's unified tools (each handles multiple operations).

Also Works With

IDE	Guide
Xcode 26.3	Setup
Cursor	Setup
VS Code (Copilot)	Setup
JetBrains	Setup
Claude Code	Setup
Claude Desktop	Setup

Your AI remembers everything, everywhere.
