Mcp Memos
Let your coding agent create, search, and manage notes in a self-hosted Memos instance while you ship features.
Overview
io.github.jkawamoto/mcp-memos is a Build-phase MCP server that lets coding agents interact with your Memos API for persistent notes and knowledge.
What is this MCP server?
- Stdio MCP server (mcpb v0.1.0) for Memos read/write and search from Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex
- Requires MEMOS_API_ENDPOINT (default localhost:5230) and secret MEMOS_API_TOKEN
- Keeps build decisions, specs, and snippets in Memos instead of ephemeral chat context
- Pairs with self-hosted Memos for indie builders who avoid vendor note lock-in
- GitHub releases bundle: jkawamoto/mcp-memos
- Server version 0.1.0
- 2 required environment variables (endpoint + API token)
- Stdio transport via mcpb registry package
What problem does it solve?
Agent chats forget context and scattered markdown files do not sync with what your assistant can query during a build.
Who is it for?
Indie builders self-hosting Memos who want Claude Code or Cursor to log specs, bugs, and research in one API-backed notebook.
Skip if: Teams that need a hosted notes SaaS with no Memos server or anyone unwilling to manage API tokens on a local instance.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After install, your agent can read and write Memos notes through MCP tools using your endpoint and API token.
- Agent-callable tools against your Memos deployment
- Persistent note CRUD and search from coding sessions
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Memos MCP is installed during product build when you wire agent workflows to a persistent notes and knowledge API. It belongs under integrations because it is a stdio MCP bridge to Memos’s HTTP API, not a standalone app feature.
How it compares
MCP integration to Memos, not a bundled note-taking skill or markdown-only prompt.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is mcp-memos for?
Solo and indie builders who run Memos and want their AI coding agent to search and update notes through the official Memos API.
When should I use mcp-memos?
Use it during Build when you wire agent workflows to durable notes—feature specs, debug journals, or launch checklists stored in Memos.
How do I add mcp-memos to my agent?
Install the mcpb release, set MEMOS_API_ENDPOINT and MEMOS_API_TOKEN, and register the stdio server in your Claude Code or Cursor MCP configuration.
