Self-hosted mem0 MCP server for Claude Code. Run a complete memory server against self-hosted Qdrant + Neo4j + Ollama while using Claude as the main LLM.

01Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mem0-mcp-selfhosted": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/elvismdev/mem0-mcp-selfhosted.git",
        "mem0-mcp-selfhosted"
      ]
    }
  }
}
