Persistent local memory for Claude, Cursor & Codex. 25 tools. Hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vector cosine, RRF). Bi-temporal asOf queries + fact supersession. LLM-free contradiction detection + reflection. Portable JSON export/import. Multilingual embeddings. No cloud. No API keys.

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

01 · Install Local Memory

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add studiomeyer-io-local-memory-mcp -- npx -y @studiomeyer/local-memory-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "studiomeyer-io-local-memory-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@studiomeyer/local-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 @studiomeyer/local-memory-mcp - the @studiomeyer scope differs from the repo owner (studiomeyer-io); confirm it's the project's official package

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

Latest releases

v2.4.3 · 2026-08-19

Security + correctness release. 239 → 251 tests. No schema change, no API change. · Fixed - memory_import bypassed the validation every other write path enforces (#29) · Reported by @pmario with a runnable repro.…

v2.4.2 · 2026-08-01

Same-day patch on v2.4.1. The dynamic-version read introduced in 2.4.1 crashed the Claude Desktop (MCPB) bundle at import time - the bundle places code under server/ and did not ship package.json, so the probe threw…

v2.4.1 · 2026-08-01

Same-day patch on v2.4.0, from a cross-model review pass. v2.4.0 shipped three diverging versions at once: npm said 2.4.0, the MCP handshake advertised a hardcoded 2.3.0, and the MCPB manifest still said 2.2.0…

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.
