Config last verified Nov 10, 2026

The exact config to run MemPalace in Claude Code — paste it in, restart, and the tools load.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code installed.

Setup

1. Open ~/.claude.json

2. Add this configuration

Add to ~/.claude.json

~/.claude.json
json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mempalace": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "mempalace",
        "mempalace-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MEMPALACE_PALACE_PATH": "<MEMPALACE_PALACE_PATH>"
      }
    }
  }
}
Or via CLI
bash
claude mcp add mempalace -- uvx --from mempalace mempalace-mcp

3. Restart Claude Code and confirm the MemPalace tools load.

Gotchas

Claude Code stores MCP servers under an "mcpServers" object in ~/.claude.json. It also reads a project-scoped .mcp.json and supports adding servers from the command line with "claude mcp add". Each entry must declare either a "type" or a "command"; Claude Code refuses an entry that has neither. Remote servers connect natively over Streamable HTTP with OAuth.
