How do I use memory-mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@memory-mcp find memories about react hooks" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

memory-mcp — shared-brain MCP server

A local stdio MCP server over ~/.claude/memory. Exposes the LLM-Wiki brain (read / search / write) so a memory written in any agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex — is readable and searchable in all three. One brain, three clients, file-backed, no external service.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`memory_search`	Text + frontmatter ranking over name/description/tags/body (+ bucket filter, limit).
`memory_read`	One memory by name → frontmatter + body + resolved outbound `[[wikilinks]]`.
`memory_list`	List memories (name, type, description), optional bucket filter.
`memory_links`	Inbound + outbound wikilink neighbours for a memory.
`memory_write`	Create/update a memory, regenerate `MEMORY.md` + `hot.md`, run the brain lint. A failed lint fails the write (file left for inspection).

Architecture

Standalone TypeScript (ESM, strict + exactOptionalPropertyTypes), run via tsx.
Reads use a strict-typed parser/scanner; a corpus-parity test asserts agreement with the real brain so frontmatter never drifts.
Writes delegate index/hot/lint to the existing ~/.claude/tools/brain toolkit (subprocess, CLAUDE_DIR-scoped) — brain's exact logic, no source coupling.
Search is text + frontmatter only (no embeddings in v1).

Config

CLAUDE_DIR — brain root (default ~/.claude); <CLAUDE_DIR>/memory holds the buckets.
BRAIN_DIR — tools/brain checkout (default <CLAUDE_DIR>/tools/brain).

Run

node node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs src/server.ts   # stdio MCP server (stdout = MCP channel)
npm test        # vitest
npm run typecheck

Registration in Claude Code / Cursor / Codex: see register.md.
