mindpm: A Free MCP Server for Persistent Project Memory with Claude
mindpm is a free, open-source MCP server that gives Claude persistent project memory across conversations using a local SQLite database. It was built specifically to solve the problem of re-explaining projects at the start of each Claude Code session.
What it does
mindpm provides Claude with a local SQLite database to read and write during conversations, tracking:
- Tasks (status, priority, blockers, sub-tasks)
- Decisions (what was decided, why, alternatives rejected)
- Notes (architecture, bugs, ideas, research)
- Sessions (what was done, what's next)
The next conversation picks up exactly where you left off. For example: You ask "What should I work on next?" and Claude responds: "Last session you finished the auth refactor. You have 3 high-priority tasks: rate limiting, API docs, and the webhook retry bug. Rate limiting is unblocked — start there."
Technical details
mindpm works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude Code, Cline, and Cursor. The entire project was built using Claude Code for MCP tool definitions, SQLite schema, session handoff logic, and the built-in Kanban board UI.
Setup takes 30 seconds with this command:
claude mcp add mindpm -e MINDPM_DB_PATH=~/.mindpm/memory.db -- npx -y mindpmEverything runs locally with no cloud, accounts, or subscriptions. The built-in Kanban board is available at localhost:3131.
Source and availability
mindpm is available on GitHub and npm. The project lives in Claude's memory via mindpm itself, creating a meta development experience.
