Zep MCP Server

Simple MCP server that wraps Zep Cloud API (v3) for use with Claude Code.

Enables Claude Code to store and retrieve memories using Zep's thread-based memory system.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/zep-mcp-server.git cd zep-mcp-server npm install npm run build

Configuration

Add to your ~/.claude.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "zep": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/zep-mcp-server/dist/index.js"], "env": { "ZEP_API_KEY": "z_your_zep_api_key" } } } }

Get your Zep API key from https://www.getzep.com

Usage

Three tools available in Claude Code:

zep_store_memory

Store information in a Zep session.

zep_search_memory

Search for information in a Zep session.

zep_get_memory

Get recent memories from a session with pagination and filtering support.

Parameters:

  • session_id (required): Thread/Session ID to retrieve

  • lastn (optional): Number of most recent messages to return (e.g., 50, 100, 200)

  • limit (optional): Limit the number of results returned (alternative to lastn)

  • cursor (optional): Cursor for pagination (used with limit)

  • role_filter (optional): Filter by message role: "user", "assistant", or "system"

Examples:

# Get last 50 messages from a large session zep_get_memory(session_id="esme", lastn=50) # Get only assistant messages zep_get_memory(session_id="esme", lastn=100, role_filter="assistant") # Use cursor-based pagination zep_get_memory(session_id="esme", limit=50, cursor=0)

Thread/Session Naming Convention

  • Global knowledge: global

  • Project-specific: project-{name}

  • User-specific: user-{username}

Note: This server uses Zep Cloud v3 API which uses "threads" instead of "sessions". The tools still accept session_id for backwards compatibility.

Example

Store in session 'global': Title: Building Multi-Agent Systems Content: [article content]
