How do I install the claude code memory mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `NEO4J_URI`, `NEO4J_USER`, `NEO4J_PASSWORD` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Claude Code Memory MCP Server?

A Neo4j-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides intelligent memory capabilities for Claude Code, enabling persistent knowledge tracking

The short version

This MCP server creates a sophisticated memory system that tracks Claude Code's activities, decisions, and learned patterns to provide contextual memory across sessions and projects. It uses Neo4j as a graph database to capture and analyze complex relationships between development concepts, solutions, and workflows.

What it needs from you

Python 3.10 or higher - Neo4j database (local or cloud) - Claude Code with MCP support
