Brain Memory gives AI coding agents a long-term memory stored as ordinary files in nested folders on your computer. Memories strengthen when recalled and fade over time, and the same memory can be shared across tools such as Claude Code, Codex and ChatGPT.

What you can do with it
- Let an AI coding agent remember project decisions, preferences and past work between sessions
- Pin key conventions so the agent loads them at the start of every session
- Ask what was true at a past date, such as which deploy target you used in March
Make money with it
A freelancer could offer to set up and tailor AI agent memory for small teams as a paid configuration service.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- A freelance developer keeps client project conventions and decisions in memory, so they spend less time re-explaining context to the AI agent.
- A small team shares one memory across several AI tools, which cuts repeated onboarding and re-prompting.
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http brain https://mcp.brainmemory.ai/mcp
This one runs on the maker's server, not your computer, so what you send it leaves your machine.
From the official MCP Registry (ai.brainmemory/brain). Only connect MCP servers you trust: they can act on your behalf.
Getting it running
Install the native plugin through npm (package brain-memory) for local storage in ~/.brain/, or add the hosted MCP connector with a command such as "claude mcp add --transport http brain https://mcp.brainmemory.ai/mcp".
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Very early project with only 2 stars
- The hosted connector needs an account with Brain Cloud, and your memories are stored on their servers
- Benchmark and design claims come from the authors and are not independently checked
