Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

On-device, self-organizing memory for AI coding agents — recalls the right facts into each prompt.

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).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

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": {
    "verbative-memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "verbative-memory"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add verbative-memory -- npx -y verbative-memory

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "verbative-memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "verbative-memory"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "verbative-memory": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "verbative-memory"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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.

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

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Verbative Memory 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 (1.1.3) 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, Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Verbative Memory

On-device memory system for AI coding agents — a dual-layer engine (distilled facts + a lossless event ledger), automatically captured and injected, exposed over MCP. Shared across agents, persistent across sessions; stored as plain, human-readable files in your repo — no memory cloud, no vendor database.

This repository is the public home for docs, install help, and issues. The engine is

closed-source and ships as a sealed, compiled package — there is no source code here.

How it works — capture everything, recall selectively

  • Complete capture, in two layers. Underneath sits a lossless ledger: a mechanical, no-model record of every command, edit, and test result, so "what did we run" and "when did this test start failing" are exact, replayable facts. On top, an on-device model distills that stream into atomic, typed memories — decisions, conventions, and dead ends.
  • Selective recall — the two layers fused. A single recall surfaces only the handful of distilled facts that matter (ranked by semantic search and a reranker) and interleaves them, by time, with the exact ledger record around them: what you *decided* next to what you *actually did*. One answer, not a dump of the whole history.
  • Self-organizing. New facts reconcile against old ones, importance decays on per-type forgetting curves, frequently-recalled facts strengthen, and recurring specifics distill into higher-level insights.
  • Yours, on-device. Memories live in human-readable files in your project. Recall makes zero cloud calls.

Requirements

  • macOS (Apple silicon) or Windows 10/11 (x64). (Linux is on the roadmap.)
  • A Verbative account — Memory is part of the Code Advanced plan and starts with a 14-day free trial. See the plans and the Terms.

Install

Claude Code CLI — automatic capture and recall:

claude mcp add verbative-memory -- npx -y verbative-memory

pip:

pip install verbative-memory

verbative-memory login # sign in with your Verbative account

Any MCP client (mcp.json / stdio):

{ "mcpServers": { "verbative-memory": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "verbative-memory"] } } }

Automatic capture and injection are built for the Claude Code CLI and Codex; any other Model Context Protocol client can call the tools manually. The first run downloads the on-device engine and models once; after that, recall runs fully offline.

More detail in docs/INSTALL.md and at verbative.de/docs/memory.

Tools

Privacy

Capture, embeddings, reranking, and the knowledge graph all run locally. Your code and memories are not uploaded; the memory files stay in your project and leave your machine only if you choose to share them.
