- Safety score

- Downloads a week
- 47
- more than 39% of 1,538 AI and agents servers with a package
Install Stashpad in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y stashpad on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the Stashpad repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Stashpad Local memory for any AI coding agent: an MCP server and CLI that keep plain Markdown notes with sources, a review queue and search.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI and any other MCP client, or with no MCP at all (plain commands and an AGENTS.md block). No model, no cloud, no dependencies: Node 20 or newer.
Quickstart
npm install -g stashpad
stashpad setup # prints the MCP settings for your agent app (generic, claude-code, vscode, codex)
stashpad doctor --client # starts the server the way your agent app does and checks it answersExpected: client start: the server answered with 8 tools in ... ms and Nothing is broken.
Claude Code users can install the plugin instead, which also adds the hooks below: /plugin marketplace add laaielichter/stashpad, then /plugin install stashpad@stashpad (or stashpad@reverseport from the ReversePort marketplace).
Why Stashpad?
- Your agent stops forgetting after compaction. Pinned rules and the latest handoff come back at the start of every session and right after /compact.
- Rules you set stay in front of the agent. stashpad pin keeps the few rules that matter in every brief; each prompt gets only the memories that clearly match it.
- Nothing ends up in memory behind your back. Agent, tool and web notes wait for a person; near-copies, secrets and hidden text are refused.
- You can read, fix and keep it. Memories are Markdown files with a source and dates, in your project, in git if you want. Old facts are ended, never overwritten.
- It keeps working. One store per project (worktrees share it), a lock for parallel writers, snapshots before changes, doctor that says what to fix.
How it compares
What Stashpad does not do: semantic search (word search finds about 2 of 3 reworded questions in our eval), automatic extraction of memories from chats (by design), sync between computers (use git), or a shared server for a team.
