sovseal-memory — Claude Code MCP server: setup
A local semantic memory server for AI agents. Use it when context must stay on your device and remain available across MCP clients.
claude mcp add sovseal-memory -- npx -y @sovseal/mcp-serverWhat sovseal-memory does
sovseal-memory gives an agent a persistent memory layer through MCP. It stores entries locally and searches them by meaning with LanceDB and 384-dimensional Transformers.js embeddings. The exposed operations include store_memory and recall_memory, so the same context can be used from different clients.
The local mode works offline. If synchronization is enabled, the remote side receives AES-256-GCM ciphertext, while integrity checks use sha256(canonicalize(payload)). The server targets Node 20+ and can be started with npx. This install path depends on Node 20+ being available in the environment.
What it helps with
- retain context between agent sessions
- retrieve prior decisions by meaning
- share one memory across MCP clients
- keep project context on the local device
- synchronize encrypted memory
Example prompts for the agent
- Save the authentication decision from this project to memory.
- Search memory for the previous API agreements.
- Remember that database migrations run as a separate command.

How do I install sovseal-memory in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add sovseal-memory -- npx -y @sovseal/mcp-server.
What does sovseal-memory do?
It provides local persistent context and semantic recall through MCP. The same memory can be connected to multiple MCP clients.
Can sovseal-memory work offline?
Yes. Local mode works offline, and the server targets Node 20+.
