Memory MCP Lite — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Memory MCP Lite?
Memory MCP Lite 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 memory-mcp-lite was installed 59 times last week.
How do I connect Memory MCP Lite?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls memory-mcp-lite straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Memory MCP Lite?
The npm package memory-mcp-lite was installed 59 times in the last week. Week over week that is -25%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Memory MCP Lite open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 4 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
