TinyContext
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.TinySuiteHQ/tinycontext -->
Context that fits your local LLMs.
TinyContext is a token-light local memory layer for AI agents. It stores concise memories and their embeddings in SQLite, ranks them with hybrid BM25 and dense retrieval, and returns only the context that fits the requested token budget.
No hosted account. No giant context dumps. No required vector database.
Choose a tier
The Python library contains the memory engine. MCP, FastAPI, and Docker are adapters around the same savememories, recallmemories, and delete_memory operations.
One-command MCP
Add TinyContext to any stdio MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tinycontext": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"--python",
"3.12",
"--from",
"tinysuite-context[server]",
"tinycontext"
]
}
}
}The no-argument tinycontext command runs stdio MCP. On its first launch, TinyContext downloads the selected ONNX embedding bundle into its per-user data directory. The database is created lazily on the first save or recall. Later launches reuse both local assets.
Check the resolved configuration and storage readiness with:
uvx --python 3.12 --from "tinysuite-context[server]" tinycontext doctorTinyContext exposes six tools:
save_memories(memories)
recall_memories(query=None, top_k=None)
list_memories(kind=None, since=None, until=None, limit=None, offset=0)
get_memory(memory_id)
update_memory(memory_id, content)
delete_memory(memory_id)Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
Tinycontext: common questions
- Is Tinycontext MCP server safe?
- Mostly: it is graded B (82/100). Read the Tinycontext safety report
- How do I install Tinycontext?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Tinycontext need an API key?
- Yes. The registry entry asks for
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS. - Is Tinycontext maintained?
- The last commit was 27 days ago (2026-10-09). The latest release is v0.5.4.
- What can I use instead of Tinycontext?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: DBHub MCP server, Remem MCP server and LLMSlim memory MCP server. Compare all Tinycontext alternatives.
- How does Tinycontext compare with other Databases MCP servers?
- safety score 82/100 (higher than 55% of 802 Databases servers); github stars 9 (more than 79% of 602 Databases servers); downloads a week 58 (more than 40% of 330 Databases servers with a package). Full comparison.
