Install Memex in Claude Code
What you need first
- Claude Code, installed.
- Node.js, which
gives the
npxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_NEO4J_URI,YOUR_NEO4J_USER,YOUR_NEO4J_PASSWORD,YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY.
Steps
- Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that
project; put
--scope userafterclaude mcp addto have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env NEO4J_URI=YOUR_NEO4J_URI --env NEO4J_USER=YOUR_NEO4J_USER --env NEO4J_PASSWORD=YOUR_NEO4J_PASSWORD --env GEMINI_API_KEY=YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY --transport stdio memex -- npx -y [email protected] serve --repo . - Replace
YOUR_NEO4J_URI,YOUR_NEO4J_USER,YOUR_NEO4J_PASSWORD,YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEYwith your own values. - Start Claude Code and type
/mcp: the server is listed with its state.
Check it worked
Ask Claude Code: List the tools of memex.
If it does not start
- spawn npx ENOENT
- Node.js is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
npxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
