Midas MCP Server

The local memory layer for long-horizon AI agents - remembers across sessions, keeps what's current, and won't act on stale memory.

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

01 · Install Midas

before you install - you'll need

Set MIDAS_MCP_EMBEDDER, MIDAS_MCP_CLIENT before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add vornicx-midas -- uvx midas-memory-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vornicx-midas": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "midas-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

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

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

06 · Midas FAQ

What is Midas?

The local memory layer for long-horizon AI agents - remembers across sessions, keeps what's current, and won't act on stale memory.

Is Midas still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-07-28 and it shipped 4 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Midas?

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

Does Midas 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.
