 +
 +#### Setup memvid mcp server
 +
 +  * https://github.com/khgs2411/memvid_mcp
 +
 +
 +Running local mpx server may not work due to not available PATH for non admin user. 
 +
 +Install memvid-mcp-server locally
 +
 +If you have Node.js installed but npx isn't in PATH, install the package globally or locally:
 +
 +     npm install -g memvid-mcp-server
 +
 +Then update the ~/.config/kilo.json (~/.config/kilo.jsonc for global settings) configuration to use the direct path:
 +
 +```
 +{
 +  "command": ["memvid-mcp-server"],
 +  ...
 +}
 +
 +```
 +
 +Example:
 +
 +```
 +"$schema": "https://app.kilo.ai/config.json",
 +  "mcp": {
 +    "memvid": {
 +      "type": "local",
 +      "command": [
 +        "npx",

 +      },
 +```
 +
 +Note: If you do not provide OPENAI_API_KEY, the ask_memory tool will not be available, but you can still use create_or_open_memory, add_content, and search_memory (lexical mode).
 +
 +MEMVID_LOCAL_STORAGE Set to "1" to store memory files in ./memvid_mcp (current directory) instead of ~/.memvid_mcp.
 +
 +
 +**This only work in external powershell not in VS Code sandbox. See troubleshooting**
 +If PATH only defined in non admin user $profile, use this command
 +
 +     ["powershell", "-Command", ". $PROFILE; npx -y memvid-mcp-server@latest"]
 +     
 +#### Troubleshooting
  
-  * https://gist.github.com/feveromo/7a340d7795fca1ccd535a5802b976e1f+VS Code use sandbox environment where non admin user $profile is not available.
  
-##### Install npm as non admin+##### Set PATH 
 +     powershell -Command "[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'D:\devfs\python;D:\devfs\node-v24.15.0-win-x64;' + [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User'), 'User')" 2>&1; echo "PATH_UPDATED:$?" 
 +      
 +Edit PATH as non admin user:
  
-Running npm on Windows without administrator rights requires using portable binaries or installing Node.js within your user profile directory. Download the Node.js binary (.zip) and extract it to a folder like C:\Users\YourUser\nodejs. Then, update your user PATH environment variable to include this directory.+     rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables
  
-Steps to Run npm as Non-AdminDownload Portable Node.js: +Add full PATH:
  
-Download the Windows Binary (.zip) from the official site. +     D:\devfs\python;D:\devfs\node-v24.15.0-win-x64;D:\devfs\node-v24.15.0-win-x64;D:\devfs\node-v24.15.0-win-x64;C:\Users\13223\.local\bin;C:\Users\13223\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Users\13223\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\cmd;C:\Users\13223\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code Insiders\bin;C:\Users\13223\AppData\Local\Programs\DockerDesktop\resources\bin;D:\devfs\jdk-21.0.10+7\bin;D:\devfs\apache-maven-3.9.15\bin;D:\devfs\node-v24.15.0-win-x64;.local\bin;D:\devfs\vim92;

 +##### Set $env
  
-Extract: Unzip the files into a directory you have write access to, such as C:\Users\YourName\Documents\nodejs.+     [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("OPENAI_API_KEY", "sk-your-key-here", "User")
  
-Update Path (Temporary): Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and run:set PATH=C:\Users\YourName\Documents\nodejs;%PATH%.+Then restart your computer (not just VS Code) to ensure it propagates system-wide.
  
-Update Path (Permanent):Search for "Edit environment variables for your account" in Windows search.Select Path, click Edit, then New and add the path to your extracted folder.+Check $env in terminal: 
 +   
 +     $env:OPENAI_API_KEY
  
-Verify: Run node -v and npm -v to ensure they work.+Alternative: Set it in VS Code's terminal settings If you need it available immediately in the integrated terminal regardless, add this to your VS Code settings.json:
  
-Key Tips for Non-Admin UsageAvoid Global Installs: +"terminal.integrated.env.windows": { 
 +    "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-your-key-here" 
 +}
  
-  * Do not use npm install -g. Instead, install packages locally within your project folder or use npx to run commands. 
-  * Portable NPM: If you need a specific npm version, you can download it and link it directly via node bin/npm-cli.js install npm -gf. 
-  * Fixing "Not Recognized": If npm is not recognized, it means the PATH was not updated correctly in your terminal session.
