Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Apiary Memory every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: HIVE_MODE (auto (default) asks the Hive app and falls back to the local store only when the app is unreachable; local never touches the network; remote refuses to fall back), HIVE_DB (Path to the local memory database. Defaults to ~/.memory-hive/hive.db. Only used when the local store answers), HIVE_AGENT_ID (Agent id issued by your own Hive app. Only needed for calls the app serves (HIVE_MODE=auto with the app running, or remote). Not required to use the local store), HIVE_AGENT_TOKEN (Access token issued by your own Hive app when the agent is registered. Only needed for calls the app serves), HIVE_MCP_URL (Hive app MCP endpoint. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8768/mcp).

Apiary Memory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Apiary Memory?
Apiary Memory runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package apiary-memory was installed 473 times last week.
How do I connect Apiary Memory?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls apiary-memory straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Apiary Memory?
The pypi package apiary-memory was installed 473 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Apiary Memory open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
