neural-memory
neural-memory is an MCP server, listed under memory & vectors. Its repository has 242 GitHub stars and is licensed under MIT; we last read it on 2026-10-22.
NeuralMemory stores experiences by connecting them as neurons and retrieves memories through associative recall, similar to human brain functions.
Install
Read from neural-memory’s own README, close to verbatim -- not written by us, and not guessed.
pip install neural-memory
What it reaches, and what it needs
Maintenance
NeuralMemory stores experiences as interconnected neurons and recalls them through spreading activation, mimicking how the human brain works. Instead of searching a database, memories are retrieved through associative recall - activating related concepts until the relevant memory emerges.
What neural-memory can do
3 tools documented in its README. An AI client calls these by name.
nmem_remember- Store a memory — auto-detects type, tags, and connections
nmem_recall- Recall through spreading activation — related memories surface naturally
nmem_health- Brain health score (A–F) with actionable fix suggestions
