Nothing serious here today

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

SmartMemory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for SmartMemory?

SmartMemory 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 smartmemory-mcp was installed 1 640 times last week.

How do I connect SmartMemory?

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 smartmemory-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use SmartMemory?

The pypi package smartmemory-mcp was installed 1 640 times in the last week. Week over week that is +454%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
