Private memory for AI agents: save and recall facts across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and ChatGPT.

Common questions

Is Renor safe?

It passed 0 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 8 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

Shared memory for coding agents, over MCP.

What one agent learns in a session, every agent knows in the next.

How it works

Tell one agent once: a decision, a root cause, a correction.
Renor saves it as plain Markdown you own.
Every agent recalls it in its next session: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Gemini, VS Code, OpenCode, Pi or any MCP client.

Quickstart

Two ways in. Both take under a minute.

Hosted: the easiest path

npx renor connect --client claude-code

--client is claude-code, codex, cursor, grok, gemini, vscode, opencode or pi. One command adds Renor to that app, signs you in through the app's own flow (no token to copy), writes the memory rule below, and ends with a live check that your workspace answers. Search is hybrid (keywords and meaning). Sign up at renor.cloud.

Self-hosted: the private path

Your memory stays in a folder on your machine. No account, no API key. You need Node.js 22.16 or later (22.16+ or 24+); on an older Node, renor-engine prints one line saying so and exits.

claude mcp add --scope user renor-local -- npx -y renor-engine mcp

codex mcp add renor-local -- npx -y renor-engine mcp

Restart the agent. The first start downloads about 12 MB, and the first Renor call works about 3 seconds after an empty start. Notes go to ~/.renor (set VAULT_PATH to use another folder).

Then add [the memory rule](#the-memory-rule) to the agent's instructions file, so it saves on its own.

Cursor or VS Code, one click:

Grok. Grok starts project servers only in a folder it trusts, so register Renor in the project:

grok mcp add --scope project renor -- npx -y renor-engine mcp

Trust the folder in Grok, then restart Grok. To check it: ask Grok to save a real decision from your project, restart Grok, and ask about it in the new session. To turn telemetry off, set DO_NOT_TRACK=1 in the environment Grok runs in. Paste the memory rule into the project's AGENTS.md.

Any other MCP client: the command is npx with the arguments -y renor-engine mcp (stdio).

Check it works:

npx renor-engine status

Then tell your agent a real decision ("remember that the orders service uses Postgres 16"), start a new session, and ask about it.

Running it on a server or with Docker: docs/self-hosting.md.

Several agents on one memory: start each with its own RENOR_CONNECTION_NAME and they get the multi-agent ("hive") tools (details).

The memory rule

Five lines that make agents save decisions, corrections and facts on their own. In our Grok test (grok-4.7, renor-engine 1.4.0, 3 Nov 2026), agents with the rule saved in 8 of 8 sessions and the next session recalled 5 of 5 project facts.

renor connect writes it for you. Self-hosted, paste it into ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (Claude Code), ~/.codex/AGENTS.md (Codex) or the project's AGENTS.md (Grok):

## Renor memory

Renor is connected to this app and remembers across sessions.

Before deciding anything non-trivial, recall first: one get_context call is usually enough.
Save with remember when the user makes a decision, corrects you, or states a fact that should outlive this chat. Include the reason.
Save the specific value (a port, a name, a path), not a summary of it.
Do not save secrets, or things that are already in the code.

Self-hosted, the local tools are search, remember_fact and note; agents map the rule onto them (tool list).

What runs on your machine

Your memory is plain Markdown in one folder you own. Edit it with anything; back it up like any folder.
SQLite holds the search index, next to the notes. It is rebuilt from the Markdown at any time.
No embedding model needed. Search is by keyword; when the exact words miss, it retries with word stems. Hybrid search (keywords and meaning) is the hosted default; self-hosters can opt in to OpenAI or a local model (details).
Small: a 1.8 MB package, about 5 MB installed. About 143 MB of memory with 1,000 saved memories.
Telemetry: anonymous usage numbers (never text, names or paths) are on by default, with a notice on first run. renor-engine telemetry off or DO_NOT_TRACK=1 turns them off. Your memory text is never shared unless you say yes to that separately. Every field: docs/TELEMETRY.md.

Benchmarks

Benchmark	Renor	Setup
LongMemEval-S	98.4% (492/500)	Deep search, off by default
LongMemEval-S	94.4% (472/500)	Default settings
LoCoMo (categories 1 to 4)	96.7% (1,489/1,540)	Deep search
BEAM 128K / 1M / 10M	76.2 / 74.7 / 60.2	Deep search, score out of 100
ConvoMem	88.4% (191/216)	Default search, 100 conversations per memory

Claude Opus 5.5 answers LongMemEval, LoCoMo and BEAM; DeepSeek V4.1 Flash answers ConvoMem (a research run). One run each, Oct 2026. Deep search is top-K 50 with a 4,000-token budget (RENOR_TOPK_SCALES_BUDGET=1). Judges and methods for every run: renor.cloud/research.

Build from source

You need Node.js 22.16 or later and git.

git clone https://github.com/renorai/renor-engine.git

cd renor-engine npm ci && npm run build node scripts/smoke-self-hosted.mjs

The last command starts the MCP server in a temporary folder, saves one fact, finds it again and ends with PASS: self-hosted stdio MCP can remember and retrieve a current fact. It never touches your notes. Downloaded a ZIP instead of cloning? Build with RENOR_BUILD_COMMIT=0000000 npm run build. Connecting a local build to each agent: docs/self-hosting.md.
