MCP Memory with Redis Graph

Source

MCP Server for long term memory graph

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

MCP Memory is a server that implements a memory system for long-term storage of conversations with large language models (LLMs) using Redis Graph as the backend.

To use MCP Memory, set up the environment by installing Docker and Node.js, then run the Redis container and the application using Docker Compose and npm commands.

  • Store various types of memories (conversations, projects, tasks, etc.) - Create relationships between memories to form a knowledge graph - Search and retrieve memories based on different criteria - Update and delete memories as needed
  1. Storing and retrieving project details and configurations.
  2. Managing tasks and to-do items for better organization.
  3. Recording and handling issues or bugs in software development.
  4. Providing personal finance advice and tracking financial information.

Use these steps to connect MCP Memory with Redis Graph in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-memory-samwang0723": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-memory-samwang0723"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-memory-samwang0723": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-memory-samwang0723"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-memory-samwang0723": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-memory-samwang0723"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-memory-samwang0723": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-memory-samwang0723"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-memory-samwang0723": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-memory-samwang0723"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-memory-samwang0723": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-memory-samwang0723"
      ]
    }
  }
}
