yomemoai-mcp 0.1.2

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for YoMemoAI - enables AI assistants to save and retrieve encrypted memories

yomemoai-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for YoMemoAI, enabling AI assistants to save and retrieve encrypted memories.

Features

• 🔐 Secure Storage: Encrypted memory storage using RSA-OAEP and AES-GCM
• 🏷️ Categorization: Organize memories with handles (tags/categories)
• 🔍 Retrieval: Query memories by handle or retrieve all memories
• 🚀 MCP Integration: Seamlessly integrates with MCP-compatible AI assistants

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12 or higher
• uv package manager
• YoMemoAI API key
• RSA private key (PEM format)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yomemoai/python-yomemo-mcp.git
cd python-yomemo-mcp

2. Install dependencies using uv:

uv sync

Configuration

Create a .env file in the project root with the following configuration:

# YoMemoAI MCP Server Configuration

# Your API key from YoMemoAI (required)
MEMO_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# Path to your private key file (RSA private key in PEM format)
# Default: private.pem
MEMO_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=private.pem

# Base URL of the YoMemoAI API (optional)
# Default: https://api.yomemo.ai
MEMO_BASE_URL=https://api.yomemo.ai

Important Configuration Notes:

1. MEMO_API_KEY (required): Your YoMemoAI API key. You must obtain this from your YoMemoAI account.

2. MEMO_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH: Path to your RSA private key file. The private key should be in PEM format:

   -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
   ...
   -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
   

   Make sure this file is secure and never commit it to version control.

3. MEMO_BASE_URL (optional): The API base URL. Defaults to https://api.yomemo.ai if not specified.

Usage

Running the MCP Server

After configuration, you can run the MCP server using:

uv run memo-mcp

Cursor best practice (recommended)

Want the AI to proactively save memories when it detects preferences or decisions (not only when you say "remember")?
Add one rule in Cursor's Rules for AI—see CURSOR_RULES.md.

Integration with Cursor/Claude Desktop

Add the following configuration to your MCP settings file:

For Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\mcp.json on Windows)
For Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

Option 1: Using uvx (Recommended - after publishing to PyPI)

If the package is published to PyPI, you can use uvx to run it directly. The package provides multiple entry points:

Using uvx yomemoai-mcp (recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yomemoai": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["yomemoai-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MEMO_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",
        "MEMO_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/private.pem",
        "MEMO_BASE_URL": "https://api.yomemo.ai"
      }
    }
  }
}

How uvx works:

• uvx automatically downloads the package from PyPI (if not already installed)
• It runs the package's entry point script defined in project.scripts
• The package name is yomemoai-mcp, so uvx yomemoai-mcp will automatically use the yomemoai-mcp entry point
• The package also provides alternative entry points: yomemo and memo-mcp (all point to the same server)

Note: The package must be published to PyPI before using uvx. If the package is not yet published, use Option 2 for local development.

Option 2: Using local development setup

For local development or if the package is not yet published, use the uv --directory approach:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yomemoai": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/absolute/path/to/yomemoai-mcp",
        "run",
        "yomemoai-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MEMO_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",
        "MEMO_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/private.pem",
        "MEMO_BASE_URL": "https://api.yomemo.ai"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important Notes:

• For Option 1 (uvx): The package must be published to PyPI. uvx will automatically handle installation and execution.
• For Option 2 (local): Replace /absolute/path/to/yomemoai-mcp with the absolute path to this repository on your system
• Replace /absolute/path/to/private.pem with the absolute path to your private key file
• The env section in the MCP config will override any .env file in the project directory
• After updating the MCP config, restart Cursor/Claude Desktop for changes to take effect

Available Tools

save_memory

Store important information, user preferences, or conversation context as a permanent memory.

Parameters:

• content (required): The actual text/information to be remembered
• handle (optional): A short, unique category or tag (e.g., 'work', 'personal', 'project-x'). Defaults to 'general'
• description (optional): A brief summary of what this memory is about

load_memories

Retrieve previously stored memories or context.

Parameters:

• handle (optional): Filter memories by category. If not specified, returns all memories
