Memory OS AI MCP Server
Memory OS AI transforms your local documents (PDF, DOCX, images, audio) into a semantic memory queryable by any AI model through the MCP (Model Context Protocol).
People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

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 GPL-3.0 - declared in the repository
pypi package memory-os-ai - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.romainsantoli-web is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Memory OS AI FAQ
What is Memory OS AI?
Memory OS AI transforms your local documents (PDF, DOCX, images, audio) into a semantic memory queryable by any AI model through the MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Is Memory OS AI still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-03-03. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Memory OS AI?
Run `uvx memory-os-ai`. The README documents 2 environment variables (MEMORY_CLOUD_PROVIDER, MEMORY_CLOUD_CONFIG) to set first. Set MEMORY_CLOUD_PROVIDER, MEMORY_CLOUD_CONFIG before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Memory OS AI 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.
