projectmem is a local-first memory and judgment layer for AI coding agents that records failed attempts, decisions, and debugging history, then injects relevant distilled context back into future sessions. It also provides an MCP server with native tools for reading summaries, checking issues, scoring ROI, and logging work across supported AI clients.

$ pip install projectmemhttps://pypi.org/project/projectmem/$ cd <your-project> && pjm initPlease install the `projectmem` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).
Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install projectmem from PyPI** — Install the Python package globally or into the Python environment you want the MCP client to use. Run: `pip install projectmem` (https://pypi.org/project/projectmem/)
- **Initialize projectmem in your project** — Run initialization once inside the target repository to create .projectmem and set up hooks/watcher. Run: `cd <your-project> && pjm init`
Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `<absolute-path-to-python>`
- args: ["-m","projectmem.mcp_server","--root","<absolute-path-to-your-project>"]
- optional environment variables:
- `PROJECTMEM_ROOT`: Optional alternative to --root for pointing projectmem at the target project root. (example: `<absolute-path-to-your-project>`)
Note: Use the canonical command `python -m projectmem.mcp_server` over client-specific wrappers. The README strongly recommends passing the project root with `--root` because some MCP clients ignore `cwd`. An absolute Python path is recommended because some clients do not inherit shell PATH reliably. The package also installs a `pjm` alias, but the canonical command is `projectmem`.
Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.PROJECTMEM_ROOTOverrides the project root directory used to locate the memory storeAI orchestration with hive-mind swarms, neural networks, and 87 MCP tools for enterprise dev.
