FAQ
SLM Mesh is an open-source MCP server that gives AI coding agents the ability to discover each other, send messages, share state, lock files, and subscribe to events — all on localhost.
SuperLocalMemory. SLM Mesh is the communication layer of the Qualixar ecosystem.
Yes. MIT licensed. Free forever.
No. Everything runs on localhost. No telemetry, no analytics, no external connections.
Any MCP-compatible agent: Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, Codex, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Antigravity, and more.
Yes. Claude can talk to Gemini, which can talk to GPT. SLM Mesh is agent-agnostic — it doesn't care which model powers the agent.
Currently tested on macOS. Linux support is expected to work (Unix Domain Sockets are supported). Windows support is planned.
No. SLM Mesh runs as a standard MCP server via stdio. No dangerous flags required.
First session auto-starts a broker on localhost:7899. Each MCP server registers with the broker. Real-time push via Unix Domain Sockets. When the last session closes, the broker auto-shuts down.
SQLite with WAL mode. The database is at ~/.slm-mesh/mesh.db.
Yes. Messages and state persist across session restarts (auto-pruned after 24/48 hours).
Bearer token authentication on all endpoints. Token regenerated per broker session. Localhost-only binding. See Security for full details.
Run slm-mesh clean to kill zombie processes, then try again.
Check slm-mesh status to verify the broker is running and peers are active. Check slm-mesh peers to see if sessions are registered.
Locks auto-expire after 10 minutes (default). You can also restart the broker: slm-mesh stop && slm-mesh start.
