Memory runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 41 installs a week from npm. Last commit 17 May 2026.
Persistent memory for AI agents. Remember, recall, and explore a shared knowledge graph.
What the code does

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.
return execFileSync(cmd, [bin], { encoding: "utf-8" }).trim().split("\n")[0];
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.
