Memax is a shared memory layer for developers and AI agents. Push context once, then recall it from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, CI jobs, local scripts, or your own application code.
This repository is the full open-source Memax monorepo: the API server and worker, the web app, the design system, the developer hub, and the published TypeScript SDK and CLI. Packages are released under multiple licenses — see Licensing below.
Packages
Install
npm install memax-sdk
npm install -g memax-cli
CLI Quick Start
memax login
memax push "Our staging database uses PgBouncer in transaction mode."
memax recall "database pooling"
memax ask "How is staging database pooling configured?"
memax setup
memax setup detects supported local agents and can configure MCP so agents can call Memax tools directly.
SDK Quick Start
import { Memax } from "memax-sdk";
const memax = new Memax({
apiKey: process.env.MEMAX_API_KEY,
});
await memax.push({
content: "Release branches are cut from main after CI is green.",
tags: ["release", "process"],
});
const { memories } = await memax.recall({
query: "release branch process",
limit: 10,
});
console.log(memories);
What You Can Build
- Agent context recall through MCP, CLI piping, or direct SDK calls.
- Team knowledge workflows with hubs and invites.
- Memory-backed applications that need search, retrieval, and grounded answers.
- CI/CD helpers that push deployment facts and recall operational context.
- Local agent setup flows for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and other MCP-aware clients.
Development
This is a small pnpm + Turborepo workspace.
pnpm install
pnpm format:check
pnpm lint
pnpm build
pnpm test
Package-specific commands:
pnpm --filter memax-sdk build
pnpm --filter memax-sdk test
pnpm --filter memax-cli build
pnpm --filter memax-cli test
Release Model
Alpha packages are published automatically from main after CI passes:
memax-sdk@<version>-alpha.<run>
memax-cli@<version>-alpha.<run>
Stable npm releases are published manually through the Release npm packages GitHub Actions workflow. Stable releases also create package-specific GitHub releases and tags:
memax-sdk-v0.4.2
memax-cli-v0.1.2
