How do I install the memtrace 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 `MEMTRACE_TELEMETRY` 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 Memtrace MCP Server?

What it actually does

Configuration

Memtrace runs locally — first index is CPU/RAM intensive, subsequent queries and incremental indexing are much lighter. | | Minimum | Recommended | |---|---|---| | CPU | 4 cores | 8+ cores for large monorepos | | Memory | 8 GB RAM | 16–32 GB RAM | | Disk | 5 GB free | 10–20 GB free | | GPU | Not required | Not required | | Node.js | ≥ 18 | Current LTS | | Git | Required for temporal analysis |
