Install Memory Vault in Continue

What you need first

• Continue, installed.
• Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_DB_HOST,YOUR_DB_PORT,YOUR_DB_NAME,YOUR_DB_USER,YOUR_DB_PASSWORD.

Steps

1. Open ~/.continue/config.yaml. On Windows it is %USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.yaml.
2. Add this entry. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the item from - name on.

mcpServers:
  - name: "memory-vault"
    type: stdio
    command: "docker"
    args:
      - "run"
      - "-i"
      - "--rm"
      - "-e"
      - "DB_HOST"
      - "-e"
      - "DB_PORT"
      - "-e"
      - "DB_NAME"
      - "-e"
      - "DB_USER"
      - "-e"
      - "DB_PASSWORD"
      - "ghcr.io/mihaibuilds/memory-vault-mcp:1.6.1"
    env:
      "DB_HOST": "YOUR_DB_HOST"
      "DB_PORT": "YOUR_DB_PORT"
      "DB_NAME": "YOUR_DB_NAME"
      "DB_USER": "YOUR_DB_USER"
      "DB_PASSWORD": "YOUR_DB_PASSWORD"

3. Replace YOUR_DB_HOST,YOUR_DB_PORT,YOUR_DB_NAME,YOUR_DB_USER,YOUR_DB_PASSWORD with your own values.
4. Save the file and restart Continue.

Check it worked

Ask Continue: List the tools of memory-vault.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Continue.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid YAML any more. Check that the entry is indented like the lines around it.
