Why Gemdex
Your agent re-learns everything every session. You explained your deploy flow
last week; today it has no idea. Gemdex gives it durable memory you write
on purpose — once, recallable everywhere.
A memory layer is a deliberately written, persistent store that is the source of truth. You teach your agent something once, and it remembers forever, across every repo and every session.
update_memory. No silent capture, no background recall.
- 🧠 You decide what to remember — explicit save_memory / recall /
scopes, no folders, no tags; embeddings do the disambiguation.
- 🌍 One global pool — every memory is searchable from everywhere. No
chunks, but recall always returns the full memory, never a fragment.
- 🔎 Sharp recall, whole answers — hybrid semantic + BM25 over internal
(Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Zed…) works instantly.
- 🔌 Plug-and-play — speaks MCP over stdio, so any compatible client

The motivating workflows
During a session:
"We just figured out how to wire up the Junie review workflow — save that to memory."
Weeks later, a different repo:
"Set up the Junie review workflow here — check your memory layer for how we do it."
Different machine, different app:
"Notarize and sign this build — the credentials and steps are in my memory layer."Two ways to run it
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.

Gemdex: common questions
- Is Gemdex MCP server safe?
- Mostly: it is graded B (83/100). Read the Gemdex safety report
- How do I install Gemdex?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor config from the install section.
- Does Gemdex need an API key?
- Yes. The registry entry asks for
GEMINI_API_KEY,GEMDEX_REMOTE_TOKEN. - Is Gemdex maintained?
- The last commit was in the last day (2026-09-23). The latest release is v1.0.47.
- What can I use instead of Gemdex?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Prism Coder MCP server, Deja Vu MCP server and State Memory MCP server. Compare all Gemdex alternatives.
