Tentra — Memory for AI Coding Agents: MCP server
Tentra — Memory for AI Coding Agents is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent generate interactive architecture diagrams and detect drift in described systems. Its repository has 6 stars and its last commit is from June 11, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What Tentra — Memory for AI Coding Agents does
According to its repository: “Describe systems in natural language to get interactive architecture diagrams, export to frameworks like Spring Boot, FastAPI and Terraform, and detect drift.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Tentra — Memory for AI Coding Agents is listed under Design, art and accessibility, a category of 95 servers in the directory, where it ranks #77 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: agent-memory, claude-code, code-graph, codex, cursor, persistent-context.
Installing and connecting Tentra — Memory for AI Coding Agents
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx) - remote server (sse): you connect to it by URL, with nothing to install locally
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: TypeScript. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.
The registry lists one secret variable to provide (API key, access token). Keep them in the client's environment variables, never in a shared file or a repository.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
Points found for Tentra — Memory for AI Coding Agents:
- Secrets: the server acts with your credentials. Create a dedicated key with minimum rights and an expiry date.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on April 18, 2026, the rdanieli/tentra-mcp repository has 6 stars and 0 forks, with 1 open issues. It has more stars than 17% of the servers in the directory. Last change 5 months ago. Version published in the registry: 1.3.2 (April 20, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
Verdict
Tentra — Memory for AI Coding Agents is still a modest project: read its code and compare it with the alternatives before using it.
