Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Long-term memory for Claude Code with SQLite FTS5 search and BM25 ranking

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).
  • You fill in yourself: MEMORY_DB_PATH

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": {
    "memory-fts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claude-memory-fts"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MEMORY_DB_PATH": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add memory-fts --env MEMORY_DB_PATH=your-value -- npx -y claude-memory-fts

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory-fts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claude-memory-fts"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MEMORY_DB_PATH": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "memory-fts": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claude-memory-fts"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MEMORY_DB_PATH": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • MEMORY_DB_PATH env
    Custom path to the SQLite database file (default: ~/.claude/memory.db)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Memory Fts 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 (1.0.1) reached the registry 8 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?

claude-memory-fts

Long-term memory MCP server for Claude Code. Stores facts in a local SQLite database with hybrid search (FTS5 + semantic vector similarity) and automatic context injection.

Features

  • Hybrid search — FTS5 keyword search + semantic vector similarity, merged via Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF)
  • Semantic understanding — find memories by meaning, not just keywords (powered by all-MiniLM-L6-v2 embeddings)
  • Auto context injection — top 30 most important memories injected into every prompt via hook
  • Importance ranking — facts ranked by access frequency, recency decay, and category weight
  • Access tracking — tracks how often each memory is accessed
  • Upsert — automatically updates existing facts instead of duplicating
  • Categorized — organize by type: preference, decision, technical, project, workflow, personal, general
  • MCP Resources — exposes memory://context resource for session context
  • Zero config — works out of the box, stores data in ~/.claude/memory.db

Install

# Add to Claude Code

claude mcp add memory -- npx claude-memory-fts

Auto-configure context injection hook (recommended)

npx claude-memory-fts --setup-hook

The --setup-hook command automatically:

  1. Creates ~/.claude/scripts/memory-context.sh
  2. Adds a UserPromptSubmit hook to ~/.claude/settings.json
  3. Top 30 memories are injected into every prompt automatically

CLI Commands

CommandDescription
npx claude-memory-ftsStart MCP server (used by Claude Code)
npx claude-memory-fts --contextOutput top 30 facts (used by hook script)
npx claude-memory-fts --setup-hookAuto-configure context injection hook

Configuration

Environment VariableDefaultDescription
MEMORY_DB_PATH~/.claude/memory.dbPath to the SQLite database file

Example with custom path:

claude mcp add memory -e MEMORY_DB_PATH=/path/to/my/memory.db -- npx claude-memory-fts

Tools

memory_save

Update a memory's content or category by ID.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription

factstringnoNew content (omit to keep current)
categorystringnoNew category (omit to keep current)
memory_list

List all saved memories grouped by category.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
categorystringnoFilter by category
limitnumbernoMax results (default: 50)
memory_delete

Delete a memory by ID.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
idnumberyesMemory ID

Resources

memory://context

MCP resource exposing top 30 facts ranked by importance score:

  • Access frequency — frequently accessed facts score higher (capped at 20 points)
  • Recency — recently updated facts score higher (10 points, decays over 90 days)
  • Category weight — preference/decision (3), workflow/technical (2), project/personal (1), general (0)

How It Works

Search Pipeline
  1. FTS5 + BM25 and semantic vector similarity run in parallel
  2. Results are merged and deduplicated using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (k=60)
  3. Facts appearing in both lists get naturally boosted
  4. If both return empty, falls back to LIKE substring matching
  5. Access count is tracked on every search hit
Embeddings
  • Model: all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (384 dimensions, ~23MB)
  • Generated locally via @xenova/transformers — no API calls, no data leaves your machine
  • Embeddings are created on save and backfilled on server startup
  • Cosine similarity with 0.3 threshold to filter noise
Storage
  • SQLite with WAL mode for fast concurrent reads/writes
  • FTS5 virtual table synced via triggers for real-time full-text indexing
  • Embeddings stored as BLOB columns alongside facts

Development
