Our reading of Qdrant Memory, from the data

Qdrant Memory is a memory MCP server from cnkang, listed in the official MCP Registry.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

Maintenance is active: the last public signal was in the last day (2026-10-19). For comparison, 68% of memory servers are active or maintained.

With 1 GitHub stars it ranks #700 of 1,597 memory servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs 2 secrets (QDRANT_API_KEY, EMBEDDING_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.

Install Qdrant Memory MCP server

claude mcp add qdrant-memory -e QDRANT_API_KEY='<qdrant-api-key>' -e EMBEDDING_API_KEY='<embedding-api-key>' -- uvx qdrant-memory-mcp mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qdrant-memory": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "qdrant-memory-mcp",
        "mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "QDRANT_API_KEY": "<qdrant-api-key>",
        "EMBEDDING_API_KEY": "<embedding-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qdrant-memory": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "qdrant-memory-mcp",
        "mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "QDRANT_API_KEY": "<qdrant-api-key>",
        "EMBEDDING_API_KEY": "<embedding-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Settings → Developer → Edit Config (claude_desktop_config.json), then restart.

      }
    }
  }
}

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
