OpenMemory MCP is a private memory management solution designed for MCP-compatible AI tools, such as Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Windsurf. It enables users to store, retrieve, and share contextual information locally on their devices, ensuring complete control over how memories are handled. The app organizes memories with metadata like topics, emotions, and timestamps, allowing for seamless integration across AI tools while maintaining privacy.
This tool enhances AI interactions by personalizing experiences, enabling tools to remember user preferences, past queries, and solutions. It facilitates smooth transitions between supported clients without losing context, such as debugging steps or project decisions. OpenMemory MCP employs local-first storage, meaning all data is securely stored on the user's device, and nothing is uploaded or synced unless explicitly shared. Access is permission-based, ensuring that AI tools can only interact with memories when authorized by the user.
Key use cases include project context handoff, tracking error patterns, recalling code snippets, journaling thoughts, managing AI prompts, and reflecting on moods. Upcoming features promise even greater control, such as the ability to decide what gets saved, when memories expire, and which tools can access specific data. Privacy remains a cornerstone of its design, with transparency, permission, and portability integrated into its functionality.
OpenMemory MCP is tailored for users seeking to enhance AI context-awareness while prioritizing data security and control.
