before you install - you'll need

Set TGMS_TEST_BACKEND before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add zxf-work-tgms -- uvx tgms

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zxf-work-tgms": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "tgms"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

06 · Tgms FAQ

What is Tgms?

A temporal graph database whose query surface is built for LLM agents - and whose answers can be audited claim by claim. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

Is Tgms still maintained?

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.
