FAQ from Memory MCP

How do I install Memory MCP?

Install using uv pip install memory-mcp. If you don't have uv, follow the official installation instructions at https://github.com/astral-sh/uv#installation.

How do I run the server?

Run memory-mcp in your terminal. This starts the MCP server that exposes the five memory tools.

What tools are available?

The server provides remember, get_memory, list_memories, update_memory, and delete_memory. Each has specific parameters; use mcp inspect to see their schemas.

How can I debug the server?

Use the MCP Inspect CLI tool (mcp inspect) after installing mcp[cli] via uv pip install mcp[cli]. Connect to the running server and use commands like tools, call, and debug on.

How do I update dependencies?

This project uses a uv.lock file. Run uv pip compile pyproject.toml -o uv.lock to regenerate it after changing dependencies.
