Install Timps in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @timps-ai/timps-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

TIMPS — Persistent Memory for AI Coding Agents
Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf forget everything the moment you close the session. TIMPS is an MCP server that gives them memory that survives restarts — architecture decisions, past bugs, your conventions. Free and fully local with Ollama. No API key required to try it.

Status: solo project, early. The MCP server and CLI are the parts I actually use daily and trust. Everything else in this repo (desktop app, mobile, JetBrains, plugin marketplace) is younger and less tested — flagged below. I'd genuinely rather you try the core and tell me it's broken than read marketing copy.
Try it in 30 seconds
npx timps-code "what does this codebase do?"No install, no config, no API key. Point it at any repo. If you have Ollama running locally, this is 100% free and nothing leaves your machine. If not, it'll walk you through picking a provider.
To actually get persistent memory in Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client, add the MCP server:
npm install -g @timps-ai/timps-mcpthen point your MCP client at it (config instructions in MCP Setup).
What it actually does
Ask Claude Code to fix a bug today. Close the session. Ask it something related tomorrow — it has no idea what you decided yesterday, what you already tried, or why you structured something the way you did. You end up re-explaining the same context every single session.
TIMPS sits between you and your agent as an MCP server and keeps a memory store per project:
- What it remembers — architectural decisions you've made, patterns and conventions specific to your codebase, bugs you've already hit and how they were fixed, and a plain audit log of what it wrote and why.
- Where it lives — local JSON/SQLite files by default, keyed per-project so different repos don't bleed into each other. Optional Postgres/Qdrant if you want it shared across a team.
- What it costs — free if you run Ollama locally. Optional paid providers (Claude, GPT, Gemini) if you want their reasoning quality instead.
That's the whole pitch. It's a memory layer, not a new agent — it works alongside whatever coding agent you already use.
How it works (short version)
Under the hood, memory is organized in a few real tiers:
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Timps: common questions
- Is Timps MCP server safe?
- Mostly: it is graded B (72/100). Read the Timps safety report
- How do I install Timps?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Timps need an API key?
- Yes. The registry entry asks for
TIMPS_API_KEY. - Is Timps maintained?
- The last commit was 40 days ago (2026-09-25). The latest release is v2.0.3.
- What can I use instead of Timps?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Netdata MCP server, State Memory MCP server and Knowl MCP server.
- How does Timps compare with other MCP servers?
- safety score 72/100 (higher than 38% of 48,255 servers); downloads a week 58 (more than 48% of 12,191 servers with a package). Full comparison.
