Memex (STiFLeR7): MCP server, setup and security
Memex (STiFLeR7) is an open-source MCP server published on GitHub that lets an AI agent access temporal knowledge graphs of repository symbols decisions and open problems. Its repository has 12 stars and its last commit is from October 21, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What Memex (STiFLeR7) does
According to its repository: “Watches git repos and builds a temporal knowledge graph of modules, symbols, decisions and open problems via Graphiti and Neo4j, served to AI coding agents.”
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 (STiFLeR7) is listed under Memory and knowledge, a category of 250 servers in the directory, where it ranks #182 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: claude-code, codex, gemini-cli, temporal-graph, agent-memory, ai-agents.
Installing and connecting Memex (STiFLeR7)
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx) - PyPI package (Python, started with
uvxorpip)
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: Python. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.
The registry lists 4 secret variables to provide (API key, access token). Keep them in the client's environment variables, never in a shared file or a repository.
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.
Points found for Memex (STiFLeR7):
- Secrets: the server acts with your credentials. Create a dedicated key with minimum rights and an expiry date.
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 May 9, 2026, the STiFLeR7/memex repository has 12 stars and 0 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 29% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 1.0.2 (October 8, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
