Install Memory in Claude Code
This server doesn't publish a package to a registry, so follow the install steps in its README. Once it runs, register it with Claude Code:
claude mcp add shipitandpray-memory -- <command to start the server>Frequently asked questions
What does the Memory MCP server do?
SQLite-based memory with exponential decay: memories strengthen on access and fade when unused, limiting unbounded context growth.
Is the Memory MCP server free?
Yes, most likely. Open source and no paid account or API key is mentioned in the listing. Check the provider for current pricing.
Does Memory run locally or remotely?
Local. Runs on your machine (stdio). You install it with npx, uvx, Docker or from source.
How do I add Memory to Claude Code?
Follow the install steps in the project's README at https://github.com/ShipItAndPray/mcp-memory, then register it with "claude mcp add".
