A Strands agent reaches Renor through Strands’ MCP client, the way Claude Code or Codex does.
  • Self-hosted (default): the helper runs npx -y renor-engine mcp over stdio. Memory operations run offline after the first install (the first npx run downloads the package). Notes live in RENOR_VAULT_PATH. The main tools are remember and search_text.
  • Hosted: set RENOR_API_KEY (dashboard, API keys) and the helper connects to https://mcp.renor.cloud/mcp. The tools are remember and get_context (Tools).
MEMORY_GUARD makes the agent treat recalled text as untrusted and save only what the user explicitly asks; keep it in every agent you build. Tell the agent to read before answering and to save when asked, in its system prompt. The full example, and a test that saves and recalls against the local engine, are in integrations/strands/.
