Inked is a compact MCP server focused on fast memory management for Claude-based apps. It provides rapid text search to retrieve memories, stores data locally for security, and can optionally leverage AI-powered search for deeper semantic retrieval. This guide shows you how to install, configure, and use Inked as an MCP server in your environment.

How to use

You integrate Inked with your MCP client by declaring Inked as an MCP server. Start Inked, then use your client to query memories or write new ones. By default, you get fast, exact-text search. If you enable embeddings, Inked can perform semantic search at the cost of additional RAM and download time.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system. Node provides the runtime to install and run Inked.

# Option 1: Recommended - install Inked globally
npm install -g @frgmt/inked

# Option 2: Local development flow
# clone the project, install dependencies, build, then run
# (replace with your preferred directory)
git clone https://github.com/frgmt/inked.git
cd inked
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js

Configuration to run Inked as an MCP server

Add Inked as an MCP server in your MCP configuration using the following setup. This uses the standard, fastest search path by invoking Inked via npx with the Inked package.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inked": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@frgmt/inked"]
    }
  }
}
