Persistent, Solana-aware project memory for AI coding agents. Typed entities + git-aware diffs.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

Environment variables
GMEM_DBOverride the auto-resolved memory database path. Defaults to ~/.gmem/<projectHash>/memory.db, with one db file per Solana project (project root resolved from Anchor.toml or workspace Cargo.toml).

gmem
Persistent project memory for Solana AI agents.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI coding agents — Claude Code, Cursor, or anything that speaks MCP — durable, Solana-aware memory of a project across sessions: program IDs, IDLs, PDA seeds, deployment state, architectural decisions, audit findings. So agents stop forgetting what they built yesterday.
Status: v1.2 — stable, with EVM support and agent trust scoring. Nine MCP tools, real implementations (no stubs), backward-compatible wire format:
- Storage: SQLite via better-sqlite3, one db file per project (auto-resolved from
Anchor.toml/ workspaceCargo.toml, override withGMEM_DB) - Ranking: SQLite FTS5 BM25 with a recency boost
- Versioning: append-only — every write inserts a new
(kind, natural_id, version)row; reads return the latest; full history available via the in-processStoreAPI - Anchor ingest:
gmem.ingest_anchorparsesAnchor.toml, captures IDL sha256s, records git HEAD assourceCommitper Program - Solana CLI context:
gmem.solana_contextreads~/.config/solana/cli/config.yml, classifies the cluster, derives the active keypair's pubkey (secret never leaks).gmem.writeon a Decision auto-attributesauthor+authorCluster - Git-aware diff:
gmem.diffaccepts both ISO timestamps and git refs (HEAD, HEAD~3, branch names, full and short SHAs) - EVM support (v1.1):
gmem.ingest_hardhatparses Hardhat /hardhat-deployworkspaces, classifies networks into canonical chain ids (base-mainnet 8453, optimism-mainnet 10, polygon-mainnet 137, arbitrum-one 42161, ethereum-mainnet 1, plus testnets), captures a reorder-invariant ABI SHA-256.

Why
Solana has moved decisively toward an agent-first developer experience. The Foundation's
awesome-solana-ai repo indexes a strong layer of stateless reference skills —
solana-dev-skill, magicblock-dev-skill, metaplex-skill, helius-phantom-skill,
solana-game-skill, and more — that teach agents how to do things. The Solana
Developer MCP exposes documentation. What's missing is the layer above: persistent
project memory.
Today every Claude Code session on a Solana project starts cold. The agent doesn't remember the program ID it deployed yesterday, the PDA seeds it chose two weeks ago, the audit finding from last sprint, or why a specific Jupiter integration was rejected. The developer compensates by pasting context, hand-maintaining NOTES files, or re-explaining the project every session. That is a tax on every agent-assisted Solana developer.
gmem fixes this by being opinionated about Solana primitives — programs, accounts,
instructions, PDAs, IDLs, cluster state, Anchor configs — rather than being a generic
key-value store. It complements every existing skill in awesome-solana-ai rather than
competing with any of them.
Install
npm install -g @yksanjo/gmem
Or, to run it without a global install:
npx @yksanjo/gmem
The installed binary is still called gmem.
Or, to hack on the source:
git clone https://github.com/yksanjo/gmem.git ~/gmem
cd ~/gmem && npm install && npm run build
Then point your MCP client at it. For Claude Code:
// ~/.claude/mcp_servers.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"gmem": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/gmem/dist/index.js"],
"env": { "GMEM_DB": "~/.gmem/memory.db" }
}
}
}
Tools exposed (v0.1)
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
gmem.recall(query) | Retrieve memory entries relevant to a natural-language query, ranked by BM25 + recency |
gmem.write(entity) | Persist a typed memory entry (Program / Account / Instruction / Decision / Finding / Integration); append-only |
gmem.diff(from, to) | Show how memory state changed between two points in time — accepts ISO timestamps OR git commit refs (HEAD, HEAD~3, branch names, full or short SHAs) |
gmem.list_decisions() | List all Decision entries for the active project, newest first |
gmem.ingest_anchor() | Auto-ingest an Anchor workspace: parse Anchor.toml, capture IDL sha256s from target/idl/, record the current git HEAD as source commit, write one Program per (program, cluster) pair |
gmem.solana_context() | Read the active Solana CLI config (~/.config/solana/cli/config.yml), return the configured cluster + RPC URL + active-keypair pubkey. Used by gmem.write to auto-attribute Decision entries to the developer wallet. Never returns the secret key. |
gmem.ingest_hardhat() | v1.1 — Auto-ingest a Hardhat / EVM workspace: parses hardhat.config.{ts,js,cjs,mjs}, reads every deployment artifact under deployments/<network>/<Contract>.json (the hardhat-deploy convention), classifies the network into a canonical chain (base-mainnet, optimism-mainnet, etc.), records a reorder-invariant ABI SHA-256 and git HEAD as sourceCommit. Writes one Contract entity per (chain, address) pair. |
gmem.ingest_agent_activity(pubkey, cluster?) | v1.2 — Pull Solana activity for an autonomous-agent wallet via Helius RPC, aggregate it (tx count, distinct peers, failure ratio, wallet age, sanctioned-neighbor count), score it with the transparent v1 heuristic, and write one Agent entity per (cluster, pubkey). Set HELIUS_API_KEY or pass apiKey; fixturePath runs offline against a snapshot. |
gmem.score_agent(pubkey, cluster?) | v1.2 — Return the latest stored Agent trust score with the heuristic breakdown showing which factors moved it. Read-only: no RPC call, no write — run gmem.ingest_agent_activity first. |
Full input/output JSON schemas are in SPEC.md.
Worked against real Solana projects
The examples/ folder in this repo demonstrates the shape of project memory
with synthetic projects. These companion repos build the same shape from
public Solana programs you've probably heard of, with every entity citing
its source:
- **gmem-example-squads-v4** — Squads multisig. Anchor workspace auto-ingest + audit pointers.
- **gmem-example-marginfi-v2** —
Marginfi v2 lending. IDL-driven discovery of the embedded Drift integration
(6
drift_*instructions surfaced automatically). - **gmem-example-kamino-klend** —
Kamino klend. V1/V2 coexistence pattern, first-class flash loans, on-chain
referrer state, sustained per-minor-release audit cadence — all recorded as
Decisionentries.
Each repo is npm install && npm run build-runnable; the resulting gmem.db
is committed for direct inspection.
Out of scope for v1.0
To keep the v1 scope honest, gmem v1.0 does NOT include: hosted multi-user sync,
cross-project search, agent reputation, on-chain memory anchoring. These are tracked in
ROADMAP.md for v1.x / v2.
