not obvious to me why this is an improvement of having the agent just update the rule files directly itself; i have it do that to my various AI-targeted readme files and it works great.

Before this integration, Cursor (an AI-assisted IDE many of us already use daily) lacked a robust way to persist user context. To solve this, I used Graphiti’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which allows structured data exchange between the IDE and Graphiti's temporal knowledge graph.
Key points of how this works:
- Custom entities like 'Requirement', 'Preference', and 'Procedure' precisely capture coding standards and project specs.
- Real-time updates let Cursor adapt instantly—if you change frameworks or update standards, the memory updates immediately.
- Persistent retrieval ensures Cursor always recalls your latest preferences and project decisions, across new agent sessions, projects, and even after restarting the IDE.
I’d love your feedback—particularly on the approach and how it fits your workflow.
