Local-first persistent memory for AI assistants. Store context across sessions with SQLite.
What is Nova Memory?
Nova Memory is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants persistent memory. It stores your project context, decisions, and knowledge locally in SQLite - no cloud, no telemetry. Your data stays on your machine.
Features
- 22 MCP tools for memory, search, analysis, and task management
- Store and search memories with BM25 full-text search
- Knowledge graph with relationship traversal
- Task management with phases and progress tracking
- Multi-project support with cross-project queries
- Enable/disable individual tools via configuration
- Complete TypeScript implementation with Zod validation
Installation
npm install -g @nova-mcp/mcp-nova
