skillmem runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 248 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 23 Oct 2026.
Skill memory for coding agents: learn, recall, reinforce, decay. Local SQLite, no API key.

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.
meta = yaml.load(match.group(1), Loader=_Loader)
proc = subprocess.run(["git", *args], cwd=cwd, capture_output=True, text=True)
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
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.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
SKILLMEM_DB (Path to the SQLite database file (default: the platform data directory)).
Local-first MCP memory server for coding agents. No API key, no cloud. SQLite + FTS5 + sqlite-vec.
Task queue, decisions and memory for coding agents. Local SQLite, no network. Requires Bun.
Local-first memory for AI agents: SQLite FTS5, deterministic recall, no vector DB, no cloud.
Shared local memory for coding agents: SQLite, semantic recall, linked entities, code navigation.
Local-first memory for AI coding agents. Memory + CodeGraph + Wiki in one SQLite file.
Embedded, local-first memory and retrieval for AI agents. One SQLite file, no server, no API key.
Persistent memory for AI coding agents: one Rust binary, one local SQLite database.
Local-first memory for coding agents — MCP server, single SQLite file, local embeddings
