What Memex (iamtouchskyer) does
According to its repository: “Zettelkasten-based agent memory system with bidirectional links”
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between an AI agent and an outside service: once the server is connected, its tools show up in the agent, which decides when to call them. Memex (iamtouchskyer) is listed under Memory and knowledge, a category of 250 servers in the directory, where it ranks #63 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: agent-memory, ai-agent, ai-coding, claude-code, cursor, knowledge-management.
Installing and connecting Memex (iamtouchskyer)
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx)
It works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and most recent agents). You add one entry to the client's MCP configuration: server name, start command or URL, environment variables. Project language: TypeScript.
Security: what to check
Connecting an MCP server means installing software that talks straight to your agent: it runs with your rights and the model trusts its tool descriptions. The risk therefore depends on what it can touch and how far its code can be trusted.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Memex (iamtouchskyer). That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on March 20, 2026, the iamtouchskyer/memex repository has 144 stars and 43 forks, with 1 open issues. It has more stars than 72% of the servers in the directory. Last change 2 months ago. Version published in the registry: 0.1.8 (March 22, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
