Why this level
- The server writes to a local database and house details the assistant reads may go to its AI provider.

What it does
Home Memory MCP is a free standalone open-source MCP server that gives an assistant structured persistent memory about your home. Rooms, devices, pipes, cables as well as vehicles, tools and valuables are recorded with phrases like a Daikin Altherma heat pump stands in the utility room. The AI finds the category, resolves the location and creates the element with no manual entry. You can ask what is in the basement, where the washing machine is and show all planned purchases. The assistant identifies a device from a photo if the model can see, and parses a PDF invoice to record the devices it finds. Lines between elements describe cable routes, pipe runs and duct paths, and statuses show what is planned, what exists and what was removed. Data sits in a single file on your computer, and the optional `home-memory-documentation` skill sets structuring rules.
Who it is for. Home and apartment owners who keep records of building systems and purchases by talking to an assistant instead of spreadsheets.
Good fit when
- An air conditioner is ordered and the record must mark the planned installation on the east facade.
- You need to recall where free conduits run from the basement to the outdoor unit.
- A PDF invoice has to be parsed and the equipment recorded in the right rooms.
- A renovation is under way and installed, planned and removed items must be told apart.
- You need a list of valuables and upcoming inspections, for example a car's check date.
Not a fit when
- You need linked photos and documents and maintenance work orders: the separate Studio version provides them.
- The computer does not run Windows: the quick start is written for Windows.
- House details must not be shown to a model provider: information the assistant reads may be sent to it.

Limitations
The quick start is written for Windows: you need the release archive from GitHub Releases and neither .NET nor Firebird needs installing separately. The connection goes to a local client and a cloud session gets no access to your installation. The server does not keep uploaded photos and PDFs as linked files, which Studio can do. Data sits in one file on the machine but what the assistant reads may be sent to its AI provider. Setup and registration can be handed to Codex or Claude Code with a ready prompt from the README.
How to disable. Remove the `home-memory` entry from client settings: in Codex with `codex mcp remove home-memory`, in Claude Desktop from the `mcpServers` block. Delete the folder with `HomeMemoryMCP.exe` and the database file by hand.
FAQ
How do I connect Home Memory to Codex?
Extract the release to `C:\HomeMemory\` and run `codex mcp add home-memory -- "C:\HomeMemory\HomeMemoryMCP.exe"`. The desktop app, CLI and IDE extension share MCP configuration on one computer, so a single registration is enough.
How do I connect it to Claude Desktop?
In settings open Developer, Edit Config and add a `home-memory` entry to `mcpServers` with `"command": "C:\\HomeMemory\\HomeMemoryMCP.exe"`. If servers already exist add it next to them.
What can be recorded besides building systems?
Any belongings: a vehicle, tools, appliances, valuables. For example a 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid with the next inspection due in March.
How is Studio different?
Studio is a Windows workspace with linked photos and documents, reusable product information and maintenance work orders. The standalone MCP does not store those.
Do I need to install .NET or Firebird?
No, the release archive is self-contained. You only need one of the listed local AI clients: the ChatGPT app, Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex CLI.

README in short
The assistant stays the interface of the whole workflow: data sits in a local file and tools read and write it from your phrases. The README shows a scenario with a plan, an air conditioner order and a search for free conduits.
