basic-memory-mcp

An MCP server that gives a model a persistent notebook backed by a folder of Markdown files.

Tools

  • discover_topics(query=None, tag=None, limit=50) — list topics, optionally filtered.
  • read(topic_id) — return the full Markdown file including frontmatter.
  • write(topic_id, content, title=None, tags=[]) — create or replace a topic.
  • edit(topic_id, old, new, replace_all=False) — exact string replacement.
  • delete(topic_id) — soft-delete into <root>/.trash/<timestamp>/....

Topic ids are slash-paths relative to --root without .md, e.g. projects/atlas-ports.

Usage

# stdio (default)
basic-memory-mcp --stdio --root ~/ATLAS-GROUP/basic-memory/memory

# HTTP
basic-memory-mcp --http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8101 --root ...

Set BASIC_MEMORY_READ_ONLY=1 or --read-only to expose only discover_topics and read. Set BASIC_MEMORY_HARD_DELETE=1 or --hard-delete to unlink files instead of moving them (only for throwaway/test roots).

Storage

Files are UTF-8 Markdown with YAML frontmatter; only .md files are visible. The server manages created and updated; the model supplies title and tags. The memory folder is plain files, so git and ordinary editors work.
