Initial impression working with membase for first 1-2 hours

Hi folks, I'm working on coding with membase mcp for an hour and here is my initial impression
- after 1-2 hours coding with claude code and membase, i found CC never triggers add_memory. I saw add_memory tool has description "Add a new memory. Use this when the user asks to remember something or shares important information." and it seems like too ambiguous. if it is available for me to customize it, please let me know
plus, CC is to conservative to call add_memory tool
> I like susui
Noted! Would you like me to save that to membase so it persists?
> yes
> Done. Saved "User likes susui" to membase. It created a graph relationship: User --LIKES--> susui.
- add_memory takes too long than I expected. its response said it takes 3.8 seconds to make nodes and edges, but latency from my side was longer

Hi Kyungho,
We’ve just released v0.2, which includes improvements addressing the points you mentioned.
- Improved tool description – We refined the add_memory description so it should be triggered more reliably than before.
- Faster memory processing – add_memory is now processed asynchronously on the server side. The request returns immediately (typically under a millisecond), so you shouldn’t experience the previous latency.
More details here:
Let us know if you have any other issues as well!

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback. Will reflect it in the update and let you know once it’s done!
