Automatically pass active workspace path to MCP servers

Feature Request: Automatically Detect and Pass Active Workspace Path

Hi team,

I’ve been working on multiple projects and often use a “Memory” MCP server to help the AI remember project-specific details between tasks. Right now, the Memory server distinguishes memories by using a hash of the workspace path as the folder name. Unfortunately, this means I have to depend on the AI to pass the correct workspace path every time, which isn’t very reliable—especially when using the more budget-friendly AI models.

It would be fantastic if the active workspace path could be automatically detected and sent to the MCP server. This change would greatly reduce manual errors and simplify the workflow, so users wouldn’t have to worry about ensuring the correct path is passed every time.

Some thoughts on this:

• Accuracy: Automatically providing the workspace path can help prevent mistakes related to manual input.
• Reliability: This will be especially beneficial for users working with less sophisticated AI models.
• User Experience: It would make the setup smoother and let users focus more on their projects without troubleshooting workspace path issues.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this. Is it technically feasible to implement this feature? Any potential challenges or ideas for making it work seamlessly with the current system?

Thanks for considering this suggestion, and I’m looking forward to your feedback!

I am working on integrating memgpt/letta which seems to be turnkey memory solution so far, first as mcp. I made a cli client for myself that integrates memgpt. it is also an agent lib and can act as agentic rag

That sounds awesome...
