Code Memory MCP Server

A deterministic, high-precision code intelligence layer exposed as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Its 4 documented tools cluster into read & search, index. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

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

01 · Install Code Memory

before you install - you'll need

Set EMBEDDING_MODEL, CODE_MEMORY_LOG_LEVEL before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add kapillamba4-code-memory -- uvx code-memory

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kapillamba4-code-memory": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "code-memory"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package code-memory - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.kapillamba4 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Code Memory FAQ

Is Code Memory still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-05-20. We re-verify nightly.

What can Code Memory do?

An agent gets 4 documented tools across read & search, index, including index_codebase, search_code, search_docs, search_history.

How do I install Code Memory?

Run `uvx code-memory`. The README documents 2 environment variables (EMBEDDING_MODEL, CODE_MEMORY_LOG_LEVEL) to set first. Set EMBEDDING_MODEL, CODE_MEMORY_LOG_LEVEL before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Code Memory run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
