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?

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add mindswap -- npx -y mindswap mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mindswap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mindswap",
        "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": {
    "mindswap": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mindswap",
        "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.

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

What it can do

Common questions

Is Mindswap 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 (3.3.0) reached the registry 6 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?

mindswap

Keep project context and personal AI memory local so tools can continue work without re-explaining the same context.

Why it exists

AI sessions reset too often. mindswap saves the current task, decisions, blockers, and handoff context so the next tool can pick up cleanly.

Install

npm install mindswap --save-dev

Quick start

npx mindswap init

npx mindswap npx mindswap doctor npx mindswap resume npx mindswap ask "Why did we choose JWT?"

What it gives you

init to set up a repo and import existing AI context
save to capture the current task, git state, and decisions
doctor to check setup health and stale context
resume to start with a clean briefing
ask to search project memory with citations
memory to manage blockers, assumptions, questions, and resolutions
--global memory and ask scope for personal cross-tool memory under ~/.mindswap/
reindex to rebuild the local SQLite search index from your file-based memory
sync to share continuity state across machines
mcp and mcp-http to expose the same context to AI clients

Global personal memory

MindSwap now supports two local memory scopes:

repo memory in /.mindswap/
personal memory in ~/.mindswap/

Use global memory when a preference or learning should follow you across projects and tools.

npx mindswap log "Prefer concise explanations" --type assumption --global

npx mindswap memory list --scope all npx mindswap ask "What explanation style should we use?" --scope all npx mindswap reindex --scope all

MCP and AI tools

mindswap generates context for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Windsurf, Cline, Roo, Aider, Amp, Gemini CLI, and AGENTS.md-based workflows.

npx mindswap mcp-install

npx mindswap mcp-http
