pip install git+https://github.com/agentic-box/memora.gitIncludes cloud storage (S3/R2) and OpenAI embeddings out of the box.
# Optional: local embeddings (offline, ~2GB for PyTorch)
pip install "memora[local]" @ git+https://github.com/agentic-box/memora.gitThe server runs automatically when configured in Claude Code. Manual invocation:
# Default (stdio mode for MCP)
memora-server
# With graph visualization server
memora-server --graph-port 8765
# HTTP transport (alternative to stdio)
memora-server --transport streamable-http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080Claude Code
Add to .mcp.json in your project root:
Local DB:
{
"mcpServers": {
"memora": {
"command": "memora-server",
"args": [],
"env": {
"MEMORA_DB_PATH": "~/.local/share/memora/memories.db",
"MEMORA_ALLOW_ANY_TAG": "1",
"MEMORA_GRAPH_PORT": "8765"
}
}
}
}Cloud DB (Cloudflare D1) - Recommended:
{
"mcpServers": {
"memora": {
"command": "memora-server",
"args": ["--no-graph"],
"env": {
"MEMORA_STORAGE_URI": "d1://<account-id>/<database-id>",
"CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN": "<your-api-token>",
"MEMORA_ALLOW_ANY_TAG": "1"
}
}
}
}With D1, use --no-graph to disable the local visualization server. Instead, use the hosted graph at your Cloudflare Pages URL (see Cloud Graph).

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.memora]
command = "memora-server" # or full path: /path/to/bin/memora-server
args = ["--no-graph"]
env = {
AWS_PROFILE = "memora",
AWS_ENDPOINT_URL = "https://<account-id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com",

MEMORA_CLOUD_ENCRYPT = "true",
MEMORA_ALLOW_ANY_TAG = "1",
}| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
MEMORA_DB_PATH | Local SQLite database path (default: ~/.local/share/memora/memories.db) |

Memora supports three embedding backends:
| Backend | Install | Quality | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
openai (default) | Included | High quality | API latency |
sentence-transformers | pip install memora[local] | Good, runs offline | Medium |
tfidf | Included | Basic keyword matching | Fast |
Automatic: Embeddings and cross-references are computed automatically when you memory_create, memory_update, or memory_create_batch.
Manual rebuild required when:
- Changing
MEMORA_EMBEDDING_MODELafter memories exist - Switching to a different sentence-transformers model
# After changing embedding model, rebuild all embeddings
memory_rebuild_embeddings
# Then rebuild cross-references to update the knowledge graph
memory_rebuild_crossrefsA built-in HTTP server starts automatically with the MCP server, serving an interactive knowledge graph visualization.
