Quick Start

1. Install and initialize with your preferred agent profiles:

pip install marm-mcp-server
marm-memory init --g-claude --g-codex --g-antigravity

Also available: --g-cursor, --g-grok, --g-hermes, --g-opencode, --g-devin, --g-cline, --g-qwen, --g-kiro and --g-zed. Run without flags to install into your current project folder instead of home

1. Hand off to your AI companion. Tell your agent:

"Use the marm-init skill to set up MARM."

1. Interact: Your agent will handle the entire setup (Python/Docker, HTTP/STDIO, keys, and client configs) interactively right inside your chat.

Manual setup

Prefer to wire it up yourself:

Replace "agent" with your client’s CLI command (for example, claude, agy, or qwen). For Codex, use codex mcp add marm-memory --url http://localhost:8001/mcp instead.

• ⚡ Fastest HTTP Startup: Run marm-memory fast-start-http to spin up the local runtime, launch the console, and open it in your browser immediately.
• 🖥️ Web Console: Run marm-memory console to view the local UI app instantly (no Node.js required).
• ⚙️ Lifecycle Management: Manage the background daemon using status, logs --follow, restart, and stop.
• 💡 Quick Flags: Use --no-console or --no-browser to restrict startups. Run marm-memory --help for full command lists.

Why MARM Memory

Your AI forgets everything. MARM Memory doesn't.

marm-memory gives your agents a private, shared memory for the context that normally gets lost between chats: decisions, research, fixes, notes, and project history. Switch from Claude Code to Codex or Gemini without losing the context already gathered.

It brings three things together:

• 🧠 Core Memory (8 tools) stores conversations, notes, notebook entries, and summaries so they stay searchable.
• 💻 Code Graph (6 tools) maps your repository so agents can find symbols, follow code paths, and understand the project without rereading it all. Point it at a repo once and it keeps itself current as you work.
• 🧩 Concept Graph (2 tools) connects people, decisions, errors, and ideas from your stored memories, with links back to relevant code when available. It builds itself as you store memories.

All 16 tools work over HTTP and STDIO. Your agents share the same local memory across sessions instead of starting from scratch each time. The bundled Console App provides a local control plane for memory, graphs, code context, distillation, runtime controls, and the integrated terminal. Indexing a repository creates its independent Code Graph, which you can explore from Knowledge Graph → Code Explorer even before storing any memories.

How It Works

See Performance & Scaling Benchmarks for retrieval latency, concurrency, and write-cost numbers, and Architecture & Internals for the mechanisms behind each layer.

MARM Console: Your Local Control Plane

Run marm-memory console to open the bundled web app at http://127.0.0.1:8002. It ships with MARM, needs no Node.js installation, stays on your machine, and works with the same local stores and MCP runtime your agents use.

Runtime CLI Commands

marm-memory is the local runtime manager installed with the Python package. These are the normal operational commands; use marm-memory <command> --help for flags and command-specific examples.
