Tentra — Memory for AI Coding Agents

Tentra — Memory for AI Coding Agents is a remote MCP server reached over the older SSE transport, at https://trytentra.com/api/mcp. Clients that support remote servers generally still accept SSE endpoints, though the protocol now favours Streamable HTTP.

No headers are declared in the registry entry. If the server needs you to sign in, a client that supports MCP authorization opens the service's own sign-in page when it first connects.

It can also run locally from a Node.js package published to the npm registry: tentra-mcp version 1.3.2. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Node.js; clients usually start it with npx — the usual command is npx -y tentra-mcp@1.3.2. It reads the environment variable TENTRA_API_KEY (secret); set it in the client's configuration for this server.

In the mcpServers JSON format that many desktop and editor MCP clients read, the entry looks like this (placeholders in angle brackets):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tentra": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "tentra-mcp@1.3.2"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TENTRA_API_KEY": "<secret>"
      }
    }
  }
}
