Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server Memory MCP for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check uv with uv --version. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "memory": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "chenxiaofie-memory-mcp" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the Memory MCP tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

How to open Terminal
Mac: press ⌘ + Space, type Terminal, press Enter
Windows: open Start, type Windows PowerShell, then Open
Not installed: uv has no click-through installer. Copy the one-line command for your system (macOS or Windows) from uv’s official page into Terminal · no separate Python install needed; uv downloads it when required

Common questions

Is Memory MCP safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 4 months ago, and the latest version (0.2.1) reached the registry 9 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Memory MCP Service

English | 中文

A persistent memory MCP service for Claude Code. Automatically saves conversations and retrieves relevant history across sessions.

What it does: Every time you chat with Claude Code, your conversation context (decisions, preferences, key discussions) is saved and automatically recalled in future sessions — so Claude always has the background it needs.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Install uv (Python package runner):

# Windows

powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Mac/Linux

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Requires Python 3.10 - 3.13 (chromadb is not compatible with Python 3.14+).

1. Initialize (First Time Only)

Download the vector model (~400MB, one-time):

uvx --from chenxiaofie-memory-mcp memory-mcp-init

2. Add MCP Server to Claude Code

claude mcp add memory-mcp -s user -- uvx --from chenxiaofie-memory-mcp memory-mcp

3. Configure Hooks (Recommended)

Hooks enable fully automatic message saving. Without hooks, you need to manually call memory tools.

Add the following to ~/.claude/settings.json:

"hooks": { "SessionStart": [{ "matcher": ".*", "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "uvx --from chenxiaofie-memory-mcp memory-mcp-session-start" }] }], "UserPromptSubmit": [{ "matcher": ".*", "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "uvx --from chenxiaofie-memory-mcp memory-mcp-auto-save" }] }], "Stop": [{ "matcher": ".*", "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "uvx --from chenxiaofie-memory-mcp memory-mcp-save-response" }] }], "SessionEnd": [{ "matcher": ".*", "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "uvx --from chenxiaofie-memory-mcp memory-mcp-session-end" }] }] } }

4. Verify

claude mcp list

You should see memory-mcp: ... - ✓ Connected.

That's it! Start a new Claude Code session and your conversations will be automatically saved and recalled.

How It Works

Session Start ──► Create Episode ──► Monitor Process (background)

│ User Message ──► Save Message ──► Recall Related Memories ──► Inject Context │ Claude Reply ──► Save Response │ │ Session End ──► Close Signal ──► Archive Episode + Generate Summary

Episodes: Each conversation session is an "episode" with auto-generated summaries
Entities: Key knowledge extracted from conversations (decisions, preferences, concepts)
Dual-layer storage: User-level (shared across projects) + Project-level (isolated per project)
Semantic search: Vector-based retrieval finds relevant past context

Usage

Automatic Mode (With Hooks)

Once hooks are configured, everything is automatic. Claude will see relevant history from past sessions as context.

Manual Mode

You can also call memory tools directly in Claude Code:

# Start a new episode

memory_start_episode("Login Feature Development", ["auth"])

Record a decision

memory_add_entity("Decision", "Use JWT + Redis", "For distributed deployment")

Search history

memory_recall("login implementation")

Close episode

memory_close_episode("Completed JWT login feature")

Alternative: Install from source

If you need to run from source (e.g., for development):

git clone https://github.com/chenxiaofie/memory-mcp.git

cd memory-mcp

Windows:

install.bat

Mac/Linux:

chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh

Then configure MCP server with the venv Python:

# Windows:

claude mcp add memory-mcp -s user -- "C:\path\to\memory-mcp\venv310\Scripts\python.exe" -m memory_mcp.server

Mac/Linux:

claude mcp add memory-mcp -s user -- /path/to/memory-mcp/venv310/bin/python -m memory_mcp.server
