MEMCORD v2.4.0 (mcp server) This privacy-first, self-hosted MCP server helps you organize chat history, summarize messages, search across past chats with AI — and keeps everything secure and fully under your control.

Never Lose Context Again

Transform your Claude conversations into a searchable, organized knowledge base that grows with you

Core Benefits

• Infinite Memory - Claude remembers everything across unlimited conversations with intelligent auto-summarization

• Effortless Organization - Smart tags and folders that organize themselves around your workflow
• Intelligent Merging - Automatically combines related conversations while eliminating duplicates

What's new in v2.4.0 — Project memory binding & auto-detection for Claude Code. See Project Setup Workflow for details.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ — python.org

• uv (Python package manager) — install with:

  macOS / Linux:

  curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

  Windows (PowerShell):

  powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Quick Start

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/ukkit/memcord/raw/main/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://github.com/ukkit/memcord/raw/main/install.ps1 | iex

This will:

• Download and setup memcord
• Set up Python virtual environment using uv
• Generate platform-specific MCP configuration files
• Configure Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VSCode, and Antigravity IDE

IDE Configuration

The installer auto-configures all supported IDEs. For manual setup or troubleshooting, see the detailed guides:

Project Setup Workflow

First-Time Setup (New Project)

# 1. Once you are in claude code, initialize the project with a memory slot (one-time setup)
memcord_init "." "my-project-name"
OR
memcord_init "my_project_name"
# Creates .memcord file containing "my-project-name"

# 2. Start saving your conversations
/memcord-save-progress  # Auto-detects slot from .memcord file

Subsequent Sessions (Returning to Project)

# Just use slash commands - no slot name needed!
/memcord-read           # Reads from bound slot automatically

/memcord-save           # Saves to bound slot automatically
/memcord-save-progress  # Summarizes and saves automatically

How Auto-Detection Works

1. When you run /memcord-read (or save/save-progress) without arguments
2. Claude checks for .memcord file in the current working directory
3. If found, reads the slot name and uses it automatically
4. No need to remember or type slot names!

Basic Usage

# Create a memory slot and save conversation
memcord_name "project_meeting"
memcord_save "Our discussion about the new API design..."
memcord_save_progress

# Use existing memory slot
memcord_use "project_meeting"

# Navigate timeline - select specific entries
memcord_select_entry "2 hours ago"  # or "latest", index, timestamp

# Privacy control - activate zero mode (no saving)
memcord_zero  # No memory will be saved until switched to another slot

# Search and query your memories
memcord_search "API design decisions"
memcord_query "What did we decide about authentication?"

# Merge related conversations
memcord_merge ["project_meeting", "api_notes"] "consolidated_project"

# Initialize project directory with memory slot (auto-detection for slash commands)
memcord_init "." "my-project"  # Creates .memcord file
memcord_unbind "."             # Removes binding
