Setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Cline and VS Code — copy-paste ready.
How to install devin-memory in Claude CodeAnthropic's agentic CLI
Add the server
bashclaude mcp add devin-memory -- uvx devin-memory-mcpVerify it's connected
bashclaude mcp listSharing it with your team?
Add `--scope project` to write it to .mcp.json in the repository root, which you can commit (with the secrets left as environment variables).
Use it in a session
Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes. It discovers them automatically.
How to install devin-memory in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)
Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add this server
json{ "mcpServers": { "devin-memory": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "devin-memory-mcp" ] } } }Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.
How to install devin-memory in CursorAI-first code editor
Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project
json{ "mcpServers": { "devin-memory": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "devin-memory-mcp" ] } } }Enable it
Cursor Settings → MCP → toggle the server on. Tools become available to the Composer/Agent.
How to install devin-memory in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml
toml[mcp_servers.devin-memory] command = "uvx" args = ["devin-memory-mcp"]Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.
How to install devin-memory in WindsurfCodeium's agentic IDE
Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
json{ "mcpServers": { "devin-memory": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "devin-memory-mcp" ] } } }Reload
Windsurf → Cascade → refresh MCP servers. Cascade can now call the tools.
How to install devin-memory in ClineVS Code autonomous agent
Open Cline → MCP Servers → Configure
Adds to cline_mcp_settings.json.
Add the server
json{ "mcpServers": { "devin-memory": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "devin-memory-mcp" ] } } }
How to install devin-memory in VS CodeCopilot / MCP support
Create .vscode/mcp.json
json{ "servers": { "devin-memory": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": [ "devin-memory-mcp" ] } } }Start it
VS Code shows a ▶ Start action above the server entry. Agent mode (Copilot Chat) can then use the tools.
What does devin-memory need from you?
Configuration only — Declares config values but no credentials.
DEVIN_MEMORY_DBoptionalEnvironment variablePath to memory.db (default: ./memory.db)
Pass secrets through your shell environment rather than committing them into a config file.
What tools does devin-memory expose?
This server runs as a local package. We only query remote servers for their tool list — asking this one would mean executing it, so its tools are listed in the documentation below.
What the code can do
Source analysis currently covers npm packages only. This server ships as a Python package, which needs a different parser.
Before you install
Signals gathered from the source repo and package registry — not a safety verdict.
What it can reach
- Runs code on your machine — Executes as a local process with your user's permissions, including filesystem access.
- Downloads at launch — The package is fetched from its registry each run unless you pin a version.

Renamed (Oct 2026): this repository moved from Icaro0310/devin-memory to Icaro0310/devin-brain — the PyPI package, CLI commands and MCP server name stay devin-memory; stars, issues and history are preserved by the GitHub redirect.

Part of the awesome-devin ecosystem: the curated hub for the devin-* tools.
An anti-poisoning memory store for Devin: durable facts with provenance, versioning, and a quarantine gate — so agent memory can't be silently corrupted by a bad session or injected content.
The problem
Agent memory is a poisoning vector. Any tool that persists "facts" between sessions can be corrupted by a single bad session — an injected instruction or a pasted secret becomes a trusted belief in every future session, with no review step and no way to answer *"where did this come from?"*.
Prior art
- The Devin memory MCP (
retain/recall/reflectover
.devin/memory/memories.jsonl) — append-only, no screening, no session provenance. devin-memory exports to that exact line shape.
