Common questions
Is Graphmem safe?
It passed 2 of 2 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 3 days ago, and the latest version (0.15.2) reached the registry 2 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

Graphmem
Shared, local memory for coding agents. Keep project decisions across sessions and tools with SQLite storage, local semantic search, and linked entities. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, pi, and other MCP clients can share the same store.
Optional code tools find definitions, outline files, list imports, and compare symbols between Git revisions.
Install
npm install --global @sonic182/graphmem
gmem-install gmem version
The npm package contains launchers. gmem-install explicitly downloads and verifies the matching CPU binary, or reuses a working native gmem on your PATH. Package installation itself downloads no binary. After upgrading the package, run gmem-install again; separately installed binaries are not replaced.
MCP clients that launch servers with npx can run npx -y @sonic182/graphmem mcp. The graphmem command downloads and verifies the binary on its first run; gmem never downloads anything on its own.
Alternatively, download your platform's archive from GitHub Releases, verify it against SHA256SUMS, and put the extracted executable on your PATH. Linux releases require glibc 2.39 and OpenSSL 3. For other systems or CUDA, build from source.
Use it with your coding agent
Plugins include MCP registration, skills, and guidance to recall context before work and save durable decisions afterward.
| Agent | Install |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | claude plugin marketplace add sonic182/graphmem, then claude plugin install graphmem@graphmem |
| Codex | codex plugin marketplace add sonic182/graphmem, then codex plugin add graphmem@graphmem |
| OpenCode | opencode plugin @sonic182/graphmem --global |
| pi | pi install npm:@sonic182/graphmem |
Claude Code and Codex need gmem and Node.js on PATH. In Codex, trust the Graphmem hooks in /hooks and start a new thread. Pi offers binary setup on first startup; OpenCode prints an installer command if needed.
See plugin setup and troubleshooting.
For another MCP client, configure it to launch your installed binary:
{
"mcpServers": { "graphmem": { "command": "/absolute/path/to/gmem", "args": ["mcp"] } } }
CLI
gmem remember "Use nextest for integration tests" \
--type convention --scope repo:/absolute/path/to/project gmem search "integration tests" gmem tokens --over-limit # memories the embedding model truncates gmem tui gmem mcp
Memories default to the current Git repository; git must be on PATH. Outside a repository, the default scope is global. Reads always include global memories; explicitly select other projects with --scope (CLI) or scopes (MCP). Writes are limited to the current repository and global, including updates and deletions. The MCP list_scopes tool discovers scopes and their write permissions; list pages through the memories of a selection. Data lives in ~/.graphmem; set GRAPHMEM_HOME to use another directory.
CLI reference · MCP tool reference
Code navigation (optional)
Release binaries include these tools; source builds need --features code.
| MCP tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
find_symbol | Find a definition and its source range |
code_outline | List a file's definitions and nesting |
code_imports | List declared imports |
code_diff | Compare symbols between Git revisions |
gmem code find CodeService
gmem code outline src/application/code.rs gmem code imports src/application/code.rs gmem code diff origin/master
These tools work on Git checkouts without an embedding model. They index definitions, not call sites or references; use ast-grep for those. Set GRAPHMEM_CODE=off to disable code tools.
