Thread Keeper MCP Server

Multi-agent shared brain across Claude Code/Desktop, Codex, Antigravity CLI (agy), Copilot, and VS Code. Cross-session memory, self-improving skill loops, and inter-agent signaling - one local MCP server turns parallel agent instances into a coordinated multi-agent system instead of N isolated chats.

People who work with codex, gemini and memory and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Thread Keeper

before you install - you'll need

Set THREADKEEPER_MEMORY_EGRESS before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add po4erk91-thread-keeper -- uvx threadkeeper

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "po4erk91-thread-keeper": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "threadkeeper"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

06 · Thread Keeper FAQ

What is Thread Keeper?

Is Thread Keeper still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-18 and it shipped 9 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Thread Keeper?

Run `uvx threadkeeper`. The README documents one environment variable (THREADKEEPER_MEMORY_EGRESS) to set first. Set THREADKEEPER_MEMORY_EGRESS before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Thread Keeper run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
