+## Architecture Decision: SF Tools, Not MCP
+
+**Memory is NOT exposed as MCP server.**
+
+- **SF is an MCP *client* only** — SF consumes MCP tools from external services
+- **Memory is internal SF infrastructure** — uses SQLite (Node 24 native)
+- **Memory exported as SF tools** — LLM agents within SF call memory functions
+- **No external exposure** — Memory system is not a service; it's SF's autonomous learning mechanism
+
+This keeps memory **private to SF** and prevents:
+- External memory pollution
+- Uncontrolled confidence scoring
+- Inconsistent learning patterns
+- Loss of autonomy (memory decisions stay internal)
