Neuromcp MCP Server

Semantic memory for AI agents with hybrid search, knowledge graph, and consolidation

Local serverstdio

What is the Neuromcp MCP server?

Neuromcp MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Semantic memory for AI agents with hybrid search, knowledge graph, and consolidation.

What you get

neuromcp is the first Sovereign Memory layer for AI: an open-source MCP server that gives Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Ollama persistent, searchable memory — stored entirely on your machine. No API keys. No cloud sync. No subscription required to remember who you are.

What the assistant can call

Once Neuromcp is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • macOS — a launchd agent that fires every 4 hours (com.neuromcp.consolidate)
  • Linux — prints a cron snippet to add manually
  • Threshold — skip if fewer than 5 unprocessed sessions
  • v0.27 — security release: CWE-22 path-traversal fix in wiki_ingest,
  • v0.26 — recall_answer (deterministic extractive answers with
  • v0.20 — 0.25** — shared HTTP daemon, session isolation, critic hook,
  • Run — Score
  • Mode — R@5
  • Embedder — Distractors
  • When — What happens
  • Crash — Checkpoint every 5 tool calls to file. Git history for rollback
  • Feature — Claude Code

Configuration and credentials

You will need 2 environment variables: NEUROMCP_DB_PATH, NEUROMCP_NAMESPACE. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Setting it up

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at neuromcp-init 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.

Choosing this one

This sits in the knowledge and memory group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Neuromcp's toolset — macOS, Linux, Threshold and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by AdelElo13; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Neuromcp's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • 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.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Neuromcp.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the neuromcp mcp server does with a few real requests.

How to install the Neuromcp MCP server

### Claude Desktop

```jsonc
// ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neuromcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "neuromcp"]
    }
  }
}

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

Frequently asked questions

It connects Neuromcp to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (macOS, Linux, Threshold, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Neuromcp directly.
