mcp-memory-libsql
A high-performance, persistent memory system for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) powered by libSQL with optimized text search for LLM context efficiency.
Features
- 🚀 High-performance text search with relevance ranking
- 💾 Persistent storage of entities and relations
- 🔍 Flexible text search with fuzzy matching
- 🎯 Context-optimized for LLM efficiency
- 🔄 Knowledge graph management
- 🌐 Compatible with local and remote libSQL databases
- 🔒 Secure token-based authentication for remote databases
Configuration
This server is designed to be used as part of an MCP configuration. Here are examples for different environments:
Cline Configuration
Add this to your Cline MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-memory-libsql": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-memory-libsql"],
"env": {
"LIBSQL_URL": "file:/path/to/your/database.db"
}
}
}
}
Claude Desktop with WSL Configuration
For a detailed guide on setting up this server with Claude Desktop in WSL, see Getting MCP Server Working with Claude Desktop in WSL.
Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration for WSL environments:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-memory-libsql": {
"command": "wsl.exe",
"args": [
"bash",
"-c",
"source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh && LIBSQL_URL=file:/path/to/database.db /home/username/.nvm/versions/node/v20.12.1/bin/npx mcp-memory-libsql"
]
}
}
}
Database Configuration
The server supports both local SQLite and remote libSQL databases through the LIBSQL_URL environment variable:
For local SQLite databases:
{
"env": {
"LIBSQL_URL": "file:/path/to/database.db"
}
}
For remote libSQL databases (e.g., Turso):
{
"env": {
"LIBSQL_URL": "libsql://your-database.turso.io",
"LIBSQL_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-auth-token"
}
}
Note: When using WSL, ensure the database path uses the Linux
filesystem format (e.g., /home/username/...) rather than Windows
format.
By default, if no URL is provided, it will use file:/memory-tool.db
in the current directory.
API
The server implements the standard MCP memory interface with optimized text search:
- Entity Management
- Create/Update entities with observations
- Delete entities
- Search entities by text with relevance ranking
- Explore entity relationships
- Relation Management
- Create relations between entities
- Delete relations
- Query related entities
Architecture
The server uses a libSQL database with the following schema:
- Entities table: Stores entity information with timestamps
- Observations table: Stores entity observations
- Relations table: Stores relationships between entities
- Text search with relevance ranking (name > type > observation)
Development
Publishing
Due to npm 2FA requirements, publishing needs to be done manually:
- Create a changeset (documents your changes):
pnpm changeset
- Version the package (updates version and CHANGELOG):
pnpm changeset version
- Publish to npm (will prompt for 2FA code):
pnpm release
