Yggdrasil MCP Server

by vondervuflya Your server? Claim it
local only

Yggdrasil runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 341 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 6 Aug 2026.

One shared, durable memory for your AI coding agents — local-first, zero-dependency.

What the code does

We read the source, 20 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

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.

PLIST="$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/${LABEL}.plist"
Runs an external command clients/npm/bin/ygg.js:27
  const r = spawnSync(cmd, ['--version'], { stdio: 'ignore' });
        return subprocess.call(["bash", str(INSTALL_SH), cmd, *rest])
    env = dict(os.environ)

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.

Connect this server

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
claude mcp add yggdrasil -- uvx yggdrasil-memory
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yggdrasil": {
      "args": [
        "yggdrasil-memory"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.yggdrasil]
command = "uvx"
args = ["yggdrasil-memory"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yggdrasil": {
      "args": [
        "yggdrasil-memory"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yggdrasil": {
      "args": [
        "yggdrasil-memory"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: YGG_ENGINE_URL (Base URL of the Yggdrasil engine HTTP API.), YGG_ENGINE_TOKEN (Bearer token for authenticating to the Yggdrasil engine (from ~/.yggdrasil/token after `ygg install`).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Yggdrasil — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Yggdrasil?
Yggdrasil 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 yggdrasil-memory was installed 341 times last week.
How do I connect Yggdrasil?
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 yggdrasil-memory straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Yggdrasil?
The pypi package yggdrasil-memory was installed 341 times in the last week. Week over week that is -29%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Yggdrasil open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in Python and 21 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.
