Gemdex runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 23 Sep 2026.
Persistent memory layer for AI coding agents: save, recall, update via Gemini plus LanceDB

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.
resetProcess()
const child = spawn(this.command, this.args, {
path.join(blobDir, memoryId),
self._env = dict(os.environ) if env is None else dict(env)
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.
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.
claude mcp add gemdex -- npx -y gemdex-mcp
{
"mcpServers": {
"gemdex": {
"args": [
"-y",
"gemdex-mcp"
],
"command": "npx"
}
}
}
[mcp_servers.gemdex]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "gemdex-mcp"]
{
"mcpServers": {
"gemdex": {
"args": [
"-y",
"gemdex-mcp"
],
"command": "npx"
}
}

}
This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
GEMINI_API_KEY (Google AI Studio key for local mode, or the exact value 'local' for on-device MLX text embeddings. Not needed in remote mode.), GEMDEX_MODE (Memory backend: embedded local LanceDB or a self-hosted Gemdex Server), LANCEDB_PATH (Directory for the embedded LanceDB store), EMBEDDING_MODEL (Gemini text embedding model), GEMDEX_REMOTE_URL (Gemdex Server root URL (required in remote mode)), GEMDEX_REMOTE_TOKEN (Gemdex Server bearer token (required in remote mode)), GEMDEX_REMOTE_NAME (Human-readable name for the remote server), GEMDEX_TRUST_RANKING (Re-rank recall results by recorded worked/failed/stale outcomes).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
