Memex tools (11, 1 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • memex_archive

    Move a card to the archive. Use for outdated or superseded cards.

  • memex_init

    Set up memex in the current project. Creates AGENTS.md with memory workflow instructions.

  • memex_links

    Low-level link stats. Prefer memex_organize for maintenance workflows.

  • memex_organize

    Analyze the card network for maintenance. Returns link stats, orphans, and hubs. Call periodically to keep the knowledge graph healthy.

  • memex_pull

    Pull latest cards from remote. Use to get changes from other devices.

  • memex_push

    Push local cards to remote. Use after writing cards to sync to other devices.

  • memex_read

    Low-level read. Use after memex_recall to drill into specific cards.

  • memex_recall

    Recall relevant memory before starting a task. Returns the keyword index (if exists) or card list. Optionally search by query. Always call this at the start of a task.

  • memex_retro

    Save an insight after completing a task. Handles frontmatter, source injection, and sync automatically. Call this at the end of a task when you learned something worth remembering.

  • memex_search

    Low-level search. Prefer memex_recall for task-start workflows.

  • memex_writewrite action

    Low-level write. Prefer memex_retro for task-end workflows (handles frontmatter and sync automatically).

Install Memex in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @touchskyer/memex on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says

From the Memex repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

memex

Persistent memory for AI coding agents. Your agent remembers what it learned across sessions.

English | 中文 | 日本語 | 한국어 | Español

English

Every time your AI agent finishes a task, it saves insights as atomic knowledge cards with [[bidirectional links]]. Next session, it recalls relevant cards before starting work — building on what it already knows instead of starting from scratch.

No vector database, no embeddings — just markdown files your agent (and you) can read.

Supported platforms

All platforms share the same ~/.memex/cards/ directory. A card written in Claude Code is instantly available in Cursor, Codex, or any other client.

Prerequisites

  • VS Code / Copilot: No prerequisites — the extension bundles everything
  • Claude Code: No prerequisites — the plugin handles everything
  • Pi: Requires Node.js 18+ and npm install -g @touchskyer/memex
  • All other platforms (Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, etc.): Requires Node.js 18+

Install

Step 1: Add memex to your editor

Note: If you use Claude Code inside VS Code, follow the Claude Code row — not "VS Code / Copilot". The VS Code extension serves GitHub Copilot only; Claude Code has its own plugin system.

That's it — no extra setup needed. The MCP tool descriptions tell your agent when to recall and retro.

Upgrade

Cross-platform sharing

All clients read and write the same ~/.memex/cards/ directory. Sync across devices with git:

Prerequisite: Auto-create requires GitHub CLI (gh auth login). Or pass your own git remote URL to skip this, including GitLab and self-hosted GitLab remotes.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
