About anairyspirit
anairyspirit is a personal memory graph installed and run on the user's machine for AI agents that need long-term memory. It provides access over MCP and REST, keeping data local.
Key features
- 01Local personal memory graph
- 02Long-term agent memory
- 03MCP and REST access
- 04Setup and update commands
Use cases
- 01Keep agent memories on a local machine
- 02Give agents long-term memory over MCP
MCP support
AI clients can launch the installed program with its `mcp` command to access memory. The project also provides REST access.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEanairyspirit
A personal AI memory graph that runs on your own machine. Your AI agents keep long-term memory in it over MCP and REST; nothing leaves the machine.
This package installs it and runs it — macOS and Linux (x86_64, arm64), Node 18 or newer. It carries no program itself: it downloads the release it was built for from GitHub and checks it against the checksums of that release's signed manifest before anything runs.
Install
npx anairyspirit setup
setup asks about encryption and the rest, installs the program as
anairyspirit (in /usr/local/bin, or ~/.local/bin — then open a new
terminal) and starts its service.
Use it from an AI client
Once installed, every command goes to the installed program, so an MCP client can start it like this:
{ "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "anairyspirit", "mcp"] }
Update
npx anairyspirit@latest update
installs the newest release over yours — your memory, settings and keys stay. An install made by Homebrew or a package is updated the way it came; the program says how.
Installed with npm i -g
The command is then anairyspirit-npm (the program itself is anairyspirit,
and the two must not share a name): anairyspirit-npm setup,
anairyspirit-npm update.
Other ways to install — a macOS disk image, Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora/openSUSE packages, Docker — and the manual: https://github.com/Seventhwalllab/anairyspirit

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
