Memforge Memory runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 14 installs a week from npm.
Team engineering memory for AI coding assistants. 47 MCP tools, pgvector semantic search.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Memforge 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 one needs environment variables set before it will start:
DATABASE_URL (PostgreSQL connection string), OPENAI_BASE_URL (Embedding API base URL (OpenAI-compatible)), OPENAI_API_KEY (Embedding API key), OPENAI_EMBEDDING_MODEL (Embedding model name (e.g. BAAI/bge-m3)).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
