Neural Memory MCP Server

Your AI agent forgets everything between sessions. Neural Memory gives it a brain. 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 Neural Memory

Claude Code

claude mcp add nhadaututtheky-neural-memory -- npx -y neural-memory-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nhadaututtheky-neural-memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "neural-memory-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

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

npm package neural-memory-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

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

06 · Neural Memory FAQ

What is Neural Memory?

Your AI agent forgets everything between sessions. Neural Memory gives it a brain. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

Is Neural Memory still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-16 and it shipped 7 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Neural Memory?

Run `npx -y neural-memory-mcp`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Neural Memory run locally?

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