memorybase 0.1.2

A self-hosted project and task management server for AI coding agents

MemoryBase

The project operating system for AI agents.

MemoryBase gives your AI coding assistants a shared memory and task system. Agents read your project blueprint, update task statuses, record decisions, and coordinate with each other — all through a standardised MCP interface.

---

Key Features

• 17 MCP tools — projects, blueprints, tasks, vault — works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client
• Real-time Kanban board — drag-and-drop tasks, live updates via Server-Sent Events when agents make changes
• Blueprint editor — structured project definition with in-place editing (tech stack, folder layout, API specs, constraints)
• Vault explorer — searchable, filterable log of decisions, error patterns, and architectural notes
• Zero-config defaults — SQLite out of the box; PostgreSQL for production
• Single Docker image — frontend and backend ship together

---

Quick Start (pip)

pip install memorybase
memorybase --port 8000

Open http://localhost:8000 — that's it.

---

Quick Start (Docker)

# 1. Run MemoryBase
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
  -e MEMORYBASE_API_KEY=my-secret-key \
  ghcr.io/sabbiramin113008/memorybase:latest

# 2. Open in browser
open http://localhost:8000

That's it. SQLite data is persisted in ./data.

---

Quick Start (Local Dev)

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/sabbiramin113008/memorybase.git
cd memorybase

# Start backend (creates venv, installs deps, starts with --reload)
./start-backend.sh

# In a second terminal — start frontend dev server
./start-frontend.sh

• Backend: http://localhost:8000
• Frontend: http://localhost:5273
• API Docs: http://localhost:8000/docs

MCP Configuration

Connect any MCP-compatible AI agent to MemoryBase:

Claude Code / Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memorybase": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memorybase": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}

Your agent can now call tools like list_projects(), get_blueprint(), create_task(), update_task_status(), add_vault_entry(), and more. See MCP Tools Reference.
