Zikkaron MCP Server

Zikkaron (זיכרון) is Hebrew for "memory." Your AI forgets you every time you close the tab. Every architecture decision you explained, every debugging rabbit hole you went down together, every "remember, we're using Postgres not SQLite" correction. Gone. You start the next session a stranger to your own tools. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Zikkaron

Claude Code

claude mcp add amanhij-zikkaron -- uvx zikkaron

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amanhij-zikkaron": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "zikkaron"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
