What is the Neural Memory MCP server?

Website · Quickstart · MCP Tools · Pro · Changelog. The neural memory mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 5 defined tools rather than through you.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • nmem_remember — Store a memory — auto-detects type, tags, and connections
  • nmem_recall — Recall through spreading activation — related memories surface naturally
  • nmem_health — Brain health score (A–F) with actionable fix suggestions
  • Community — The Community tool exposed by this server
  • Ecosystem — The Ecosystem tool exposed by this server

Adding it to your client

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at neuralmemory on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

When to reach for it

Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Neural Memory's toolset — nmem_remember, nmem_recall, nmem_health and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by nhadaututtheky; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the neural memory mcp server does with a few real requests.

How to install the Neural Memory MCP server

Add to your editor's MCP config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neural-memory": { "command": "nmem-mcp" }
  }
}

Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.

Example prompts to try

  • Use Neural Memory to nmem remember.
  • Use Neural Memory to nmem recall.
  • Use Neural Memory to nmem health.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Neural Memory to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 5 tools (nmem_remember, nmem_recall, nmem_health, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Neural Memory directly.
