Winning 2nd Place at Claude Code MCP Hackathon with Universal Memory
How we built Universal Memory MCP in 3 hours and won $6,000 in Claude API credits. Now evolving into Membase, the unified memory layer for all your AI agents.
Aristo won 2nd place 🥈 at the Claude Code Builder Hackathon held in Seoul. We're thrilled to receive $6,000 in Claude API credits.
Celebrating our 2nd place win at the Claude Code MCP Hackathon in Seoul
The Hackathon: Next-Generation MCP Innovation
The finals challenged participants to build "Next-Generation MCP Innovation Products with Claude Code", leveraging Claude Code and MCP (Model Context Protocol) technology to develop creative and viable productivity solutions.
The event was judged by Benjamin Mann, co-founder of Anthropic, alongside other industry leaders, making it a unique opportunity to validate cutting-edge AI infrastructure ideas.
Why We Participated
We've been thinking about a fundamental problem in AI: how do you coordinate memory across multiple agents?
This hackathon was the perfect opportunity to prototype our vision using MCP.
What We Built: Universal Memory MCP
In just 3 hours, we built Universal Memory MCP, a server that creates a shared memory layer accessible to any MCP-compatible AI agent.

What It Does
Memory Operations:
AI agents can add, search, and retrieve memories through simple MCP tool calls. All memories are stored in a centralized system with vector embeddings for semantic search.
Cross-Agent Sync:
When Claude stores a memory, Cursor can instantly retrieve it. When ChatGPT learns something about your project, all your other agents know it too.
Smart Retrieval:
Instead of dumping entire conversation histories, agents query only the relevant memories they need using semantic similarity search.
Our demo showed multiple AI agents collaborating on a task, sharing context in real-time without manual copy-pasting or repeated explanations.
Why This Matters
Today's reality: you use ChatGPT for research, Claude for writing, Cursor for coding. Each time you switch tools, you lose context and repeat yourself.
The problem is simple: Each agent operates in isolation. What one learns doesn't transfer to others.
Universal Memory MCP solves this by creating a unified memory layer at the protocol level. Now all your agents share the same context, automatically staying in sync without manual intervention.
What's Next: Building Membase
We're turning Universal Memory MCP into Membase, a production-ready unified memory layer for all your AI agents.
What We're Building
1. Universal Integration
Connect via MCP or Chrome Extension. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and all your existing AI tools.
2. One-Click Context Sync
Automatically pull in context from Notion, Slack, Google Drive, Gmail, and more. All your scattered information in one searchable memory base.
3. Multi-Agent Infrastructure
The memory coordination layer that makes real multi-agent services possible.
We're using the $6,000 in Claude API credits to push toward our public beta launch.
