 +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: 
 + 
 +``` 
 +"$schema": "https://app.kilo.ai/config.json", 
 +  "mcp": { 
 +    "memvid": { 
 +      "type": "local", 
 +      "command": [ 
 +        "npx", 
 +        "-y", 
 +        "memvid-mcp-server@latest" 
 +      ], 
 +      "environment": { 
 +        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-proj-qoGHEBwSHb41x8slxaziGjq1RSp5Sz3FT3BlbkFJYfp15vPobwEm0e-Ib0zdRhOTntpQsGf2qSY8kA3FR6T4np3tMlrc79yjyXLWtcpEd1BaE-IbkA", 
 +        "MEMVID_LOCAL_STORAGE": "0" 
 +      }, 
 +       
 +``` 
 + 
 +``` 
 + "$schema": "https://app.kilo.ai/config.json", 
 +  "mcp": { 
 +    "memvid": { 
 +      "type": "local", 
 +      "command": ["memvid-mcp-server"], 
 +      "environment": { 
 +        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-proj-NEZJMF3Yljd-lfp15vPobwEm0e-Ib0zdRhOTntpQsGf2qSY8kA3FR6T4np3tMlrc79yjyXLWtcpEd1BaE-IbkA", 
 +        "MEMVID_LOCAL_STORAGE": "0" 
 +      }, 
 +``` 
 + 
 +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 
 + 
 +VS Code use sandbox environment where non admin user $profile is not available. 
 + 
 +##### Set PATH 
 +     powershell -Command "[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'D:\devfs\python;D:\devfs\node-v24.15.0-win-x64;' + [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User'), 'User')" 2>&1; echo "PATH_UPDATED:$?" 
 +      
 +Edit PATH as non admin user: 
 + 
 +     rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables 
 + 
 +Add full PATH: 
 + 
 +     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 
 + 
 +     [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("OPENAI_API_KEY", "sk-your-key-here", "User") 
 + 
 +Then restart your computer (not just VS Code) to ensure it propagates system-wide. 
 + 
 +Check $env in terminal: 
 +   
 +     $env:OPENAI_API_KEY 
 + 
 +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: 
 + 
 +"terminal.integrated.env.windows": { 
 +    "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-your-key-here" 
 +}
