# mcp-memory-libsql
A high-performance, persistent memory system for the Model Context
Protocol (MCP) powered by libSQL. This server provides vector search
capabilities and efficient knowledge storage using libSQL as the
backing store.
## Features
- High-performance vector search using libSQL
- Persistent storage of entities and relations
- Semantic search capabilities
- 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:
\`\`\`json
\{
"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](https://scottspence.com/posts/getting-mcp-server-working-with-claude-desktop-in-wsl).
Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration for WSL environments:
\`\`\`json
\{
"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:
\`\`\`json
\{
"env": \{
"LIBSQL_URL": "file:/path/to/database.db"
\}
\}
\`\`\`
For remote libSQL databases (e.g., Turso):
\`\`\`json
\{
"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
additional vector search capabilities:
- Entity Management
- Create/Update entities with embeddings
- Delete entities
- Search entities by similarity
- 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 and embeddings
- Relations table: Stores relationships between entities
- Vector search capabilities implemented using libSQL's built-in
vector operations
## Development
### Publishing
Due to npm 2FA requirements, publishing needs to be done manually:
1. Create a changeset (documents your changes):
\`\`\`bash
pnpm changeset
\`\`\`
2. Version the package (updates version and CHANGELOG):
\`\`\`bash
pnpm changeset version
\`\`\`
3. Publish to npm (will prompt for 2FA code):
\`\`\`bash
pnpm release
\`\`\`
