Nothing serious here today

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

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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MEMORY_DB_PATH (Custom path for the SQLite database file), MEMORY_EMBED_DISABLED (Disable the local embedding pipeline (forces FTS5-only search). Useful in restricted networks where the model can't be downloaded.), MEMORY_EMBED_MODEL (Override the embedding model id (defaults to Xenova/multilingual-e5-small).), MEMORY_EMBED_CACHE_DIR (Override the Transformers.js cache directory (defaults to the OS data dir).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Local Memory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Local Memory?
Local 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 npm package @studiomeyer/local-memory-mcp was installed 70 times last week.
How do I connect Local 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 @studiomeyer/local-memory-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Local Memory?
The npm package @studiomeyer/local-memory-mcp was installed 70 times in the last week. Week over week that is +6%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Local Memory open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 13 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.
