Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

        result = subprocess.run(

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add ihmt-memory -- uvx ihmt-memory
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ihmt-memory": {
      "args": [
        "ihmt-memory"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.ihmt-memory]
command = "uvx"
args = ["ihmt-memory"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ihmt-memory": {
      "args": [
        "ihmt-memory"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ihmt-memory": {
      "args": [
        "ihmt-memory"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: IHMT_HOME (Folder that holds the memory (created on first use). Defaults to ~/.ihmt.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

IHMT Memory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for IHMT Memory?
IHMT 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 ihmt-memory was installed 644 times last week.
How do I connect IHMT Memory?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls ihmt-memory straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use IHMT Memory?
The pypi package ihmt-memory was installed 644 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 IHMT Memory open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 36 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.
