How to Set Up and Use Memov Git-like Memory
Memov is an MCP server that gives AI coding agents git-like, versioned memory over their interactions. It automatically snapshots every prompt, response, and file change so agents can review history, jump back to any past state, and restore files — similar to how git lets developers check out old commits. Teams using Claude Code, Cursor, or other agentic tools get a traceable audit trail of what the AI did and when, with optional semantic search (RAG) to query that history in natural language.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ and uv or uvx available on your PATH
- Git installed (Memov uses git-like concepts internally)
- Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP-capable client
- Optional: a VectorDB-compatible setup if you want RAG/semantic search features
Add Memov to Claude Code as an MCP server
Use the claude mcp add command to register Memov. The server is launched via uvx directly from the GitHub repository, scoped to the current project directory.
claude mcp add mem-mcp --scope project -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/memovai/memov.git mem-mcp-launcher stdio $(pwd)Or install the Memov CLI for broader usage
For a system-wide install that works with multiple tools, use the one-line installer or Homebrew.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/memovai/memov/main/install.sh | bash
# or
brew tap memovai/mem && brew install memovConfigure your agent to take snapshots automatically
Add an instruction to your agent's system prompt or CLAUDE.md so it calls the snap tool after every interaction. This ensures no interaction is lost.
# Add to CLAUDE.md or agent system prompt:
# After completing any interaction, always call `use mem snap`Optionally create a .memignore file
Create a .memignore file in your project root to exclude files you don't want tracked (e.g., build artifacts, secrets). The format mirrors .gitignore.
# .memignore example
*.log
dist/
.envOpen the memory timeline UI
Ask the agent to open the Memov web interface to visually browse snapshots, diffs, and history.

These prompts use Memov's core tools: snap, mem_history, mem_jump, mem_ui, and vibe_search.
- "Take a snapshot of this interaction"
- "Show me the history of what you've done in this project"
- "Jump back to the snapshot from before you changed auth.ts"
- "Open the memory UI so I can browse the timeline"
- "Search my agent history for when we last fixed the login bug"Troubleshooting Memov Git-like Memory
uvx command not found when adding the MCP server
Install uv first with 'curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh', then open a new shell so uvx is on your PATH before running the claude mcp add command.
Snapshots are not being created automatically
Memov requires an explicit instruction in the agent's system prompt or CLAUDE.md telling it to call 'use mem snap' after each interaction. Add that rule to your project's CLAUDE.md file.
Semantic search (vibe_search) returns no results
The RAG features require the optional [rag] extras. Reinstall with: uvx --from 'git+https://github.com/memovai/memov.git[rag]' mem-mcp-launcher, and then run mem_sync to populate the vector index.
