Vector Memory MCP Server

Semantic memory storage for AI assistants. Store decisions, patterns, and context that persists across sessions.

A local-first MCP server that provides vector-based memory storage. Uses local embeddings and SQLite with sqlite-vec for fast, private semantic search — all in a single file.

---

Features

• Local & Private - All embeddings generated locally (all-MiniLM-L6-v2, 384-dim), data stored in a single SQLite file
• Semantic Search - Hybrid vector + full-text search with intent-based ranking
• Batch Operations - Store, update, delete, and retrieve multiple memories at once
• Session Waypoints - Save and restore project context between sessions
• Conversation History - Index and search Claude Code session transcripts
• MCP Native - Standard protocol, works with any MCP-compatible client

---

Installation

There are two ways to install Vector Memory, depending on how much integration you want.

Option A: Claude Code Plugin (recommended)

Install as a plugin to get the full experience: MCP server, session lifecycle hooks, waypoint skills, and context monitoring — all managed automatically.

# Add the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add AerionDyseti/vector-memory-mcp

# Install the plugin
claude plugin install vector-memory@vector-memory-mcp

This clones the repo and runs the MCP server directly from source. Hooks handle session start/clear/compact events, and skills provide /waypoint:set, /waypoint:get, and memory usage guidance.

Option B: MCP Server Only

Install just the MCP server via npm if you want memory storage without hooks or skills, or if you're using a non-Claude Code MCP client.

bun install -g @aeriondyseti/vector-memory-mcp

First install downloads ML models (~90MB). This may take a minute.

Then add to your MCP client config (e.g., ~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vector-memory": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["--bun", "@aeriondyseti/vector-memory-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Prerequisites

• Bun 1.0+
• An MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.)

Tools

Restart your MCP client after installation. You now have access to:

Tool	Description
store_memories	Save memories (accepts array)
search_memories	Find relevant memories semantically
get_memories	Retrieve memories by ID (accepts array)
update_memories	Update existing memories
delete_memories	Remove memories (accepts array)
report_memory_usefulness	Vote on whether a memory was useful
set_waypoint	Save session context for later
get_waypoint	Restore session context
index_conversations	Index Claude Code session logs as searchable history
list_indexed_sessions	Browse indexed conversation sessions
reindex_session	Force reindex of a specific session

---

Usage

Store a memory:

You: "Remember that we use Drizzle ORM for database access"
Assistant: [calls store_memories]

Search memories:

You: "What did we decide about the database?"
Assistant: [calls search_memories with relevant query]

Session waypoints:

You: "Save context for next session"
Assistant: [calls set_waypoint with summary, completed items, next steps]

Conversation history (requires --enable-history):

You: "What did we discuss about the API design last week?"
Assistant: [calls search_memories with history_only: true, history_before/after filters]

---

Configuration

CLI flags:

Flag	Alias	Default	Description
--db-file <path>	-d	.vector-memory/memories.db	Database location (relative to cwd)
--port <number>	-p	3271	HTTP server port
--no-http		(HTTP enabled)	Disable HTTP/SSE transport
--enable-history		(disabled)	Enable conversation history indexing
--history-path		(auto-detect)	Path to session log directory
--history-weight		0.75	Weight for history results in unified search

Release Channels

Plugin users: The plugin tracks the repo's default branch. To switch channels, reinstall from a specific branch or tag.

npm users: The stable release is what you get by default:

bun install -g @aeriondyseti/vector-memory-mcp

Pre-release channels are available for testing upcoming changes. These are unstable and may break without notice — use at your own risk.
