Mneme Memory: MCP server, setup and security

What Mneme Memory does

According to its repository: “Cross-session memory for AI coding agents via six tools; local-first SQLite store.”

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. Mneme Memory is listed under Coding agents, a category of 151 servers in the directory, where it ranks #58 by stars.

Topics declared by the repository: agent-memory, autodream, deepseek-harness, dsh-plugin, knowledge-management, semantic-search.

Installing and connecting Mneme Memory

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: JavaScript.

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 Mneme Memory. 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 August 13, 2026, the slow-stack/mneme repository has 177 stars and 22 forks, with 18 open issues. It has more stars than 76% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.1.1 (September 23, 2026).

Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
