Why TrueMemory

It finds signal in the noise. Your AI sees thousands of messages. TrueMemory figures out which ones actually matter and throws away the rest. No manual tagging,

Connect

Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.

Questions

What is the TrueMemory MCP server?

The memory your AI should have had from the start. Automatic capture, automatic recall, 100% local. One SQLite file, zero cloud. Works with Claude Code, Claude CLI, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI.

What tools does TrueMemory expose?

1 in total: 1 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is TrueMemory safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (83/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.

What credentials does TrueMemory need?

It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY and SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does TrueMemory run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as truememory-openclaw-plugin at 1.0.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (8f12b842c095), read on 2026-10-02. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
