Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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": {
    "marm": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "marm-mcp-server",
        "stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add marm -- uvx marm-mcp-server stdio

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marm": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "marm-mcp-server",
        "stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {

Common questions

Is Marm MCP Server 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 (2.60.1) reached the registry 26 days 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), Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

IMPORTANT

Project Status: Brief Personal Pause

I took a short personal break from active development to focus on matters outside the project. This project is still active, and I plan to return soon to keep building and refining it.

Thank you for your patience, support, and continued interest. I’ll resume work soon and share updates as progress continues.

Quick Start

Install and initialize with your preferred agent profiles:

pip install marm-mcp-server

marm-memory init --g-claude --g-codex --g-antigravity

Also available: --g-cursor, --g-grok, --g-hermes, --g-opencode, --g-devin, --g-cline, --g-qwen, --g-kiro and --g-zed. Run without flags to install into your current project folder instead of home

Hand off to your AI companion. Tell your agent:

"Use the marm-init skill to set up MARM."

Interact: Your agent will handle the entire setup (Python/Docker, HTTP/STDIO, keys, and client configs) interactively right inside your chat.

Manual setup

Prefer to wire it up yourself:

Replace "agent" with your client’s CLI command (for example, claude, agy, or qwen). For Codex, use codex mcp add marm-memory --url http://localhost:8001/mcp instead.

If you are...	Start the server	Connect your MCP client
Solo developer / researcher	`marm-memory start`	`"agent" mcp add --transport http marm-memory http://localhost:8001/mcp`
Private local STDIO user	`marm-mcp-stdio`	`"agent" mcp add --transport stdio marm-memory-stdio marm-mcp-stdio`
Multiple agents sharing memory	`marm-memory start --profile swarm`	`"agent" mcp add --transport http marm-memory http://localhost:8001/mcp`
Private high-throughput swarm	`marm-memory start --profile swarm-max`	`"agent" mcp add --transport http marm-memory http://localhost:8001/mcp`
Trusted private lab/server	`marm-memory start --profile trusted`	`"agent" mcp add --transport http marm-memory http://localhost:8001/mcp`

⚡ Fastest HTTP Startup: Run marm-memory fast-start-http to spin up the local runtime, launch the console, and open it in your browser immediately.
🖥️ Web Console: Run marm-memory console to view the local UI app instantly (no Node.js required).
⚙️ Lifecycle Management: Manage the background daemon using status, logs --follow, restart, and stop.
💡 Quick Flags: Use --no-console or --no-browser to restrict startups. Run marm-memory --help for full command lists.

Why MARM Memory

Your AI forgets everything. MARM Memory doesn't.

marm-memory gives your agents a private, shared memory for the context that normally gets lost between chats: decisions, research, fixes, notes, and project history. Switch from Claude Code to Codex or Gemini without losing the context already gathered.

It brings three things together:

🧠 Core Memory (8 tools) stores conversations, notes, notebook entries, and summaries so they stay searchable.
💻 Code Graph (6 tools) maps your repository so agents can find symbols, follow code paths, and understand the project without rereading it all. Point it at a repo once and it keeps itself current as you work.
🧩 Concept Graph (2 tools) connects people, decisions, errors, and ideas from your stored memories, with links back to relevant code when available. It builds itself as you store memories.

All 16 tools work over HTTP and STDIO. Your agents share the same local memory across sessions instead of starting from scratch each time. The bundled Console App provides a local control plane for memory, graphs, code context, distillation, runtime controls, and the integrated terminal. Indexing a repository creates its independent Code Graph, which you can explore from Knowledge Graph → Code Explorer even before storing any memories.

How It Works

Layer	What it does	Why it matters
Memory model	Sessions, structured logs, notebooks, summaries, and semantic memories	Keeps project history searchable instead of trapped in one chat
Scale layer	SQLite WAL mode, connection pooling, serialized write queue, and HTTP rate-limit presets	Lets one server support solo use, multi-agent work, and swarm-style bursts
Intelligence layer	FTS filter, semantic re-rank, bounded semantic fallback, auto-classification, write-time consolidation, and compaction candidates	Keeps recall useful as memory grows instead of letting duplicates pile up
Code graph layer	Repo indexing, symbol lookup, call tracing, architecture overview, and change-impact analysis	Gives agents project structure without rereading the whole codebase
Concept graph layer	Entity and relationship extraction from stored memories, with links back into the code graph	Connects decisions, errors, tools, and people across sessions instead of leaving them as flat text
Token layer	Lightweight 8-tool core surface (16 total with bundled graph tools), semantic re-rank before retrieval, and write-time deduplication	Reduces tokens sent to the model on every recall and cost stays predictable as memory scales
Deployment layer	Pip, Docker, STDIO, HTTP, and managed `swarm`, `swarm-max`, and `trusted` profiles	Lets you run private local memory or shared multi-agent memory with the same MCP surface

See Performance & Scaling Benchmarks for retrieval latency, concurrency, and write-cost numbers, and Architecture & Internals for the mechanisms behind each layer.

MARM Console: Your Local Control Plane

Run marm-memory console to open the bundled web app at http://127.0.0.1:8002. It ships with MARM, needs no Node.js installation, stays on your machine, and works with the same local stores and MCP runtime your agents use.

Workspace	What it gives you
Memories and Knowledge Graph	Browse, filter, edit, and clean up memory, logs, notebooks, extracted concepts, duplicates, concept builds, and code links.
Indexed Projects and Project Explorer	Index local repositories, inspect architecture, impact, coverage, decisions, runtime traces, symbol search, and code-graph topology.
Code Context	Build one bounded view of task-ranked symbols, source, and related memory. An optional local model can answer from that same context, with its citations checked.
Distill	Turn transcripts into durable-memory proposals. Review, apply, or discard them with duplicate evidence visible.
System and Terminal	Manage runtime health, indexing, local-model settings, backups, diagnostics, and maintenance. The docked terminal provides a real local shell with persistent sessions and a searchable MARM command menu.
Connections	Set up MARM end to end in one place. Setup connects Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex CLI, Grok Build, Hermes Agent, OpenCode, Cline, Antigravity, Qwen Code, Devin, Kiro, and Zed over HTTP, STDIO, or Docker STDIO, tests each connection, and saves server settings to `~/.marm/settings.json`. Docker pulls, starts, and stops the MARM container and writes a compose file. Manual gives copy-ready config for each client and OS, every CLI command, and every HTTP endpoint.

Runtime CLI Commands

marm-memory is the local runtime manager installed with the Python package. These are the normal operational commands; use marm-memory --help for flags and command-specific examples.

Daily runtime work

marm-memory fast-start-http                # start HTTP, Console, and open the browser

marm-memory fast-start-http --client cursor # also connect one client (add --transport stdio for STDIO) marm-memory start # start or reuse the managed HTTP runtime marm-memory start --profile swarm # shared multi-agent preset marm-memory stop # stop the managed runtime safely marm-memory restart # restart the managed runtime marm-memory status # inspect runtime, database, queue, and graph status marm-memory logs --follow # follow bounded runtime logs marm-memory console # start or reuse the bundled local Console

Transports and setup

marm-memory http                           # run HTTP in the foreground

marm-memory stdio # run the strict local MCP STDIO transport marm-memory init # install the MARM skill into detected agents (project scan) marm-memory init --g-claude # install the skill into the home-folder claude directory marm-memory doctor # diagnose the local install marm-memory key init # create or reuse ~/.marm/.env without displaying the key marm-memory key path
