memory MCP servers: common questions

What is the best MCP server for memory?

mcp-neo4j-memory is published by the company behind memory, which makes it the safest first pick. On GitHub stars, Codebase Memory (★ 48k), basic-memory (★ 4.4k) and Nautilus Compass Memory (★ 1.3k) lead the 729 we list. mcp-neo4j-memory is named for memory and passed every check we run.

Can I trust these memory MCP servers?

585 of the 729 passed every registry check. Reading the package code or tool descriptions of 301 of them turned up 71 with something to look at, from install scripts to obfuscated code. A clean result means none of our patterns matched, not that a server is safe.

MCP server or Claude skill for memory?

An MCP server gives the AI new tools, such as reaching memory itself. A skill only teaches it how to do a task with tools it already has. There are 739 Claude skills for memory if that fits better.

Hosted or local: how do memory MCP servers run?

153 can run hosted, so you only paste a URL into Claude, Cursor or VS Code. The 611 that run locally ship as 287 npm, 211 PyPI, 45 Docker, 42 MCPB bundle and 4 Cargo packages.

Are memory MCP servers kept up to date?

301 of the 729 were updated in the 30 days before 31 Oct 2026. The latest was Builderforce Memory, on 28 October.
