Common questions

Is remem-mcp — Local-first MCP Memory + CodeGraph + Wiki safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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 9 days ago, and the latest version (0.5.18) reached the registry 3 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.

remem-mcp

Your coding agent stops repeating the same mistakes.

Local-first memory that survives context compaction. Learns from every error, injects fixes before the next attempt, and syncs to your git repo so your whole team shares it.

No API key. No cloud. No database server. Just a SQLite file.


Install

npx remem-mcp setup

Auto-detects ZCode, Claude Code, Cursor, Devin, Codex. Registers MCP server + hooks.


Quick start

  1. Restart your agent (quit and reopen)
  2. Ask: "what do you remember?"
  3. If agent recalls past context = memory working

In your agent, you can say:

  • "index the code in src" → CodeGraph indexes symbols
  • "find who calls function X" → caller analysis
  • "what do you remember?" → recall past context

What happens automatically

WhenWhat
Session startPast errors, decisions, and persona injected into agent context
Each promptMatching memory injected into agent context
Failed commandsAuto-captured as error memories
Context compactionMemory re-injected after compaction
Session endWorker auto-extracts facts, consolidates summaries, updates persona

You don't run any commands. The agent calls recall() before answering and capture() after work — the skill tells it to.


How it works

AI Agent (ZCode / Claude Code / Devin / Cursor / Codex)

│ ├── MCP tools ──▶ recall, capture, codegraph_*, wiki_*, feedback │ └── Hooks ──▶ SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse, PostCompaction, SessionEnd │ ▼ SQLite (memory.db)

L0 captures → L1 atoms → L2 scenarios → L3 persona (raw) (facts) (summaries) (preferences)

CodeGraph: symbols + calls + imports (tree-sitter, 9 languages) Memory links: Hebbian co-retrieval (frequently co-retrieved = stronger)

No LLM API key needed — rule-based extraction + keyword grouping.


CodeGraph

Structural code indexing via tree-sitter. The agent uses codegraph_search instead of grep to find symbols.

npx remem-mcp index --path src              # index a directory

npx remem-mcp search-code --query "parseTar" # find symbols npx remem-mcp callers # who calls this? npx remem-mcp impact # blast radius

9 languages: TS/JS/Python/Go/Rust/Java/C/C++/C#. 6-strategy call resolution (import-map → same-module → unique-name → suffix → fuzzy). Stdlib calls filtered out.

Configuration

All settings have defaults. Config file is optional: ~/.config/remem-mcp/config.json.

SettingEnv varDefault
DB pathREMEM_DB_PATH~/.local/share/remem-mcp/memory.db
Cross-project memoryREMEM_GLOBAL_SESSION_KEY_(unset)_
Unified flow (F1+F2+F3)REMEM_FLOW_(unset, set to full)_
Suppress hook feedbackREMEM_QUIET_(unset, set to 1)_

Global memory policy — set REMEM_GLOBAL_SESSION_KEY to *read* cross-project memory automatically. Captures stay project-local unless the user explicitly asks to save globally; then use session_key: "global". Do not auto-classify ordinary captures into global.

Team sharing — npx remem-mcp sync-export writes .remem-mcp/memory-export.jsonl. Commit it to git. Team members get the same memory on git pull.

Per-repo capture exclusions — Drop a .remem.toml in any project root:

[capture]

ignore_paths = ["node_modules", "dist", ".git", "*.min.js"]
