Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Persistent memory and context for your agent, on a board you can see. Capped, so it stays small.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Search & AI memory

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sticky": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "sticky-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add sticky -- npx -y sticky-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sticky": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "sticky-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "sticky": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "sticky-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

What it can do

Common questions

Is Sticky safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (0.2.2) reached the registry 2 months 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.

What can I use instead?

STICKY

A board your coding agent can write to — and you can see.

Your agent forgets between sessions. The usual fix is a CLAUDE.md that grows until it's a thousand lines of stale rules nobody deletes, quietly costing you tokens on every request.

STICKY holds ten active notes. When the eleventh arrives, the oldest one tumbles to the archive on its own. Nothing to prune, nothing to garden.

npx sticky-mcp

That's it. The board opens in your browser. No account, no cloud, no config.


Wire it to your agent

claude mcp add sticky -- npx sticky-mcp-server

Cursor, Cline, Windsurf and anything else that speaks MCP work the same way — point them at npx sticky-mcp-server.

Or add it to your MCP config by hand:

{

"mcpServers": { "sticky": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "sticky-mcp-server"] } } }

sticky-mcp-server takes no flags on purpose. Some CLIs — Claude Code among them — read

-y and --mcp as their own options and never pass them through, so a command with

nothing after it is the only one that works everywhere.

Your agent gets two tools:

  • `post_sticky` — pin a decision, a constraint, or where the work paused
  • `read_active_stickies` — read the board at the start of a session

The three columns

what it holdsreaches the agent
Pinnedpermanent rules — *"use C# 12"*, *"never touch migrations by hand"*always
Activecurrent decisions and where work stoppedalways, newest 10
Archivewhatever tumbled offnever — zero tokens

Drag a note between columns. Drop it on Pinned and it becomes a permanent rule. Drop it on Archive and it stops reaching the agent immediately. Double-click to edit, click the cross to bin a bad assumption.

The board updates live as your agent posts — you watch it think.

What's bounded, and what isn't

Being precise, because a promise that isn't quite true is worse than no promise:

  • Active is capped at 10 (configurable 5–20). The oldest unpinned note tumbles out.
  • Pinned is capped at 15. Rules never tumble — a rule vanishing silently would be worse than the bloat — so instead the board refuses the sixteenth and asks you to retire one.
  • Archive is unbounded and costs nothing, because it never reaches the model.

So the agent's context stays bounded at roughly 25 notes, permanently, no matter how long you work.

Your data

The board is a SQLite file at ~/.sticky/store.db. The web server binds to 127.0.0.1 and nothing else. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no network code in this package beyond the local server itself.

Options

npx sticky-mcp                 open the board

npx sticky-mcp --mcp run as an MCP server (agents launch this)

--cap active notes before the oldest tumbles (default 10) --port board port (default 7317) --db where the board lives (default ~/.sticky/store.db) --no-open start without opening a browser

Want it floating beside your editor? chrome --app=http://localhost:7317

Requires

Node 22.5 or newer — STICKY uses Node's built-in SQLite, so there's nothing to compile and no native modules to install.
