Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --transport stdio basic-memory -- uvx basic-memory[mcp_servers.basic-memory]
command = "uvx"
args = ["basic-memory"]{
"mcpServers": {
"basic-memory": {

"basic-memory"
]
}
}
}We do not store launch arguments. If the server needs any, its own documentation names them.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Is this your plugin?
Prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and can put its remote endpoint on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
