Nothing serious here today

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

Connect this server

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.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: MONOMEM_CLIENT (App name stamped on this server's writes (written_by becomes stdio:<name>). 1-40 characters a-z 0-9 . _ -. Self-declared, not authenticated), MONOMEM_HOME (Data directory (database, tokens). Default: ~/.monomem (Windows: the .monomem folder in your user profile); an existing ~/.onememory store is kept in place, as is a checkout's ./data/state.db), MONOMEM_DB_PATH (SQLite file path, overriding the data directory for the database only. Default: <data dir>/state.db).

Monomem — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Monomem?
Monomem 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 npm package monomem was installed 1 743 times last week.
How do I connect Monomem?
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 monomem straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Monomem?
The npm package monomem was installed 1 743 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 Monomem open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 6 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.
