AutoMem MCP: Give Your AI Perfect Memory

One command. Infinite memory. Perfect recall across all your AI tools.

npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem setup

Your AI assistant now remembers everything. Forever. Across every conversation.

_{The guided installer — npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem install walks you through local, hosted, or existing-endpoint setup.}

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot (coding agent), ChatGPT, ElevenLabs, OpenAI Codex, Google Antigravity - any MCP-compatible AI platform.

The Problem We Solve

Every AI conversation starts from zero. Claude forgets your coding style. Cursor can't learn your patterns. Your assistant doesn't remember yesterday's decisions.

Until now.

AutoMem MCP connects your AI to persistent memory powered by AutoMem - a graph-vector memory service.

What You Get

🧠 Persistent Memory Across Sessions

• AI remembers decisions, patterns, and context forever
• Works across all MCP platforms - Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Google Antigravity
• Cross-device sync - same memory on Mac, Windows, Linux

🏆 Graph-Vector Architecture

• 11 public authorable relationship types between memories (recall results may also include read-only system/internal relations that are not valid associate_memories inputs)
• Research-validated approach (HippoRAG 2: 7% better associative memory)
• Sub-second retrieval even with millions of memories

Quick Start

1. Set Up AutoMem Service

You need a running AutoMem service (the memory backend). Choose one:

Option A: Local Development (fastest, free)

git clone https://github.com/verygoodplugins/automem.git
cd automem
make dev

Service runs at http://localhost:8001 - perfect for single-machine use.

Option B: Railway Cloud (recommended for production)

One-click deploy with $5 free credits. Typical cost: ~$0.50-1/month after trial.
