Longmem tools (11, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
add_edge_caseRecord a context where a cached solution didn't work as-is.
confirm_solutionAuto-save a confirmed solution using context from the last search_similar call.
correct_solutionFix a specific piece of text in an already-saved solution.
delete_solutionwrite actionPermanently delete a saved entry.
enrich_solutionAppend new context to an already-saved solution.
list_recentList the most recently saved memory entries.
rebuild_indexRebuild the vector search index for faster similarity search.
save_solutionSave a problem/solution pair to the cross-project memory.
search_by_projectList saved entries for a specific project.
search_similarSearch the cross-project memory for solutions similar to the current problem.
statsReturn database statistics: total entries, breakdown by category, and date range.

What the publisher says
From the Longmem repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Cross-project memory for AI coding assistants. Stop solving the same problems twice.
<!-- demo: record a terminal session showing searchsimilar finding a cached result, then confirmsolution saving it. Drop the GIF here. -->
Your AI solves the same bug in a different project six months later. Writes the same boilerplate. Explains the same pattern. You already knew the answer.
longmem gives your AI a persistent memory that works across every project and every session. Before reasoning from scratch, it searches what you've already solved. After something works, it saves it. The longer you use it, the less you repeat yourself.

Quickstart
1. Install
pipx install longmem2. Setup — checks Ollama, pulls the embedding model, writes your IDE config
longmem init3. Activate in each project — copies the rules file that tells the AI how to use memory
cd your-project
longmem install4. Restart your IDE. Memory tools are now active on every chat.
Need Ollama? Install from ollama.com, then ollama pull nomic-embed-text. Or use OpenAI — see Configuration.
How it works
longmem is an MCP server. Your IDE starts it on demand. Two rules drive the workflow:
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
Longmem: common questions
- Is Longmem MCP server safe?
- Mostly: it is graded B (82/100). Read the Longmem safety report
- How do I install Longmem?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Longmem need an API key?
- Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
- Is Longmem maintained?
- The last commit was 201 days ago (2026-04-17). The latest release is v0.2.1.
- What can I use instead of Longmem?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Octobrain MCP server, Marm MCP server and Shodh Memory MCP server.
- How does Longmem compare with other Web search MCP servers?
- safety score 82/100 (higher than 68% of 3,470 Web search servers); tools 11 (the typical Web search server has 5); tools that change things 9% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
