Apiary Memory runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 473 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 2 Nov 2026.
Local-first memory over MCP. Built-in SQLite store; runs standalone. Agents propose; you confirm.
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.

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).
