Developers are pointing out that the Model Context Protocol, which standardized how AI agents connect to tools, never addressed what an agent remembers after a session ends. With MCP reportedly reaching roughly 97 million monthly SDK downloads, critics argue the protocol's lack of a memory standard is the real source of most complaints about unreliable AI agents, and calls are growing for the ecosystem to fill that gap.
