How to Set Up and Use Home Memory
Home Memory is a C#/.NET MCP server that gives AI assistants a persistent, structured knowledge base of everything in your home — rooms, floors, devices, furniture, fixtures, cables, pipes, and more. It stores all data in a single local Firebird database file with no cloud sync, and exposes 24 MCP tools covering full CRUD operations across all element types, physical connection tracking for infrastructure like electrical and plumbing, and over 100 built-in editable categories. On first launch it auto-creates a sample house structure and category set so the AI can start answering questions about your home immediately.
Prerequisites
- Windows, macOS, or Linux (cross-platform .NET runtime)
- The HomeMemoryMCP executable downloaded from the GitHub releases page
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or OpenAI Codex
- Optional: custom HOME_MEMORY_DB_PATH to store the database in a specific location
Download the HomeMemoryMCP executable
Go to the GitHub releases page at https://github.com/impactjo/home-memory/releases and download the latest release for your platform (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Extract it to a permanent location such as C:\HomeMemory\ on Windows.
Configure Claude Desktop to use Home Memory
Add the server entry to your claude_desktop_config.json pointing at the downloaded executable. No additional arguments are required for basic usage.
{
"mcpServers": {
"home-memory": {
"command": "C:\\HomeMemory\\HomeMemoryMCP.exe"
}
}
}Or add via Claude Code CLI
Use the claude mcp add command to register the server at user scope, so it is available across all projects.
claude mcp add home-memory --scope user -- "C:\HomeMemory\HomeMemoryMCP.exe"Set optional environment variables
Override the default database location with HOME_MEMORY_DB_PATH if you want the database stored in a specific directory. HOME_MEMORY_FBCLIENT can point to a custom Firebird client library if the bundled one is not suitable.
{
"mcpServers": {
"home-memory": {
"command": "C:\\HomeMemory\\HomeMemoryMCP.exe",
"env": {
"HOME_MEMORY_DB_PATH": "D:\\MyData\\home-memory.fdb"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client and explore your home
Restart Claude Desktop. On first run, Home Memory automatically creates 100+ categories and a sample house structure. Ask the AI to show you the structure of your home to confirm it is working.

Example prompts for building and querying your home knowledge base.
- "Show me the structure of my home."
- "I have a Bosch washing machine in the basement — add it to my inventory."
- "We're planning to install a heat pump in the utility room. Record it as a planned item."
- "What devices and appliances are in the kitchen?"
- "Document the electrical cable running from the breaker panel to the garage lights."
- "What's in the basement? Show me everything including planned items."Troubleshooting Home Memory
Executable not found or permission denied on startup
Ensure the path in your MCP config uses double backslashes on Windows (C:\\HomeMemory\\HomeMemoryMCP.exe). On macOS/Linux, make the binary executable with chmod +x HomeMemoryMCP. Verify the file exists at the specified path.
Firebird database error on first launch
The bundled Firebird client library handles database creation automatically. If you see a client library error, set HOME_MEMORY_FBCLIENT to the path of a manually installed fbclient.dll (Windows) or libfbclient.so (Linux). Download Firebird from firebirdsql.org.
Database file grows too large over time
The local Firebird database stores all home data indefinitely. Use the delete element tools exposed by the MCP server to remove obsolete entries, or back up and recreate the database file at HOME_MEMORY_DB_PATH using the Firebird management tools.
