A lightweight, multi-client memory layer that persists cross-project coding conventions

Project description

Helix

Global convention memory for AI coding agents — persist your coding preferences once, surface them in every Claude Code, Cursor, or MCP-compatible session.

Install

# With uv (recommended)
uv tool install helix-memory

# Or with pip
pip install helix-memory

Quick start

# 1. Hook Helix into your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, …).
helix install

# 2. Save your first convention.
helix remember pydantic-validation \
  "Prefer Pydantic v2 for any external-boundary validation." \
  --tags python,validation

From there, your next agent session will see the conventions automatically.

CLI

helix remember <name> "<body>" --tags <comma,separated>
helix list [--tags <tag>]
helix recall "<query>" [--tags <tag>]
helix forget <name>
helix install   # wire Helix into your agent
helix uninstall # remove the integration
helix serve     # start the MCP server

MCP server

helix serve starts a stdio MCP server that exposes four tools: remember, recall, list_conventions, forget.

Claude Code

Project-scoped (recommended — one .mcp.json per repo):

// .mcp.json at the project root
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "helix": {
      "command": "helix",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

User-scoped (available in every project):

claude mcp add helix -- helix serve

Or edit ~/.claude.json manually:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "helix": {
      "command": "helix",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Global (all projects):

// ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "helix": {
      "command": "helix",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

Project-scoped:

// .cursor/mcp.json at the project root
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "helix": {
      "command": "helix",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

After adding the config, restart your client. Verify the server is visible: in Claude Code run /mcp, in Cursor open the MCP panel.
