Visual Memory MCP

@putervision/vision-memory-mcp is a zero-infrastructure, local-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and CLI tool that provides AI coding assistants (such as Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini, or Copilot) with visual state caching using perceptual hashing, local CLIP embeddings, and transition graphs to eliminate repetitive vision LLM calls.

People who work with ai tool, computer vision and developer tools and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Visual Memory MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add putervision-vision-memory-mcp -- npx -y @putervision/vision-memory-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "putervision-vision-memory-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@putervision/vision-memory-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

06 · Visual Memory MCP FAQ

What is Visual Memory MCP?

@putervision/vision-memory-mcp is a zero-infrastructure, local-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and CLI tool that provides AI coding assistants (such as Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini, or Copilot) with visual state caching using perceptual hashing, local CLIP embeddings, and transition graphs to eliminate repetitive vision LLM calls.

Is Visual Memory MCP still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-15 and it shipped 3 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Visual Memory MCP?

Run `npx -y @putervision/vision-memory-mcp`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Visual Memory MCP run locally?

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