CACHE AND DATA OPERATIONS / Momento Inc.
Momento MCP Server
TypeScript MCP server from Momento that gets and sets cache items and can list, create, or delete caches in a Momento account.
“A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Momento Cache.”
01 / THE REASONING
Why this made the selection.
- Momento publishes @gomomento/mcp-momento in momentohq/mcp-momento. The README at fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a lists get, set, list-caches, create-cache, and delete-cache.
- The LICENSE appendix at that commit reads Copyright 2025 Momento Inc. package.json version is 0.1.0 and the build script is tsc.
02 / THE REVIEW RECORD
What we actually inspected.
Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.
Material inspected
- README.md at fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a: tool list, environment variables, Inspector command, Claude Desktop JSON.
- package.json at the same revision: name @gomomento/mcp-momento, version 0.1.0, build script tsc, dependency @gomomento/sdk.
- LICENSE at the same revision: Apache License 2.0, appendix Copyright 2025 Momento Inc.
Our findings
- get and set are data-plane tools. list-caches, create-cache, and delete-cache are described as control-plane tools that need a super user API key.
- No install command in the README is only the server. The Inspector line also launches @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so it is not recorded as install.command.
Not established by this review
- Not executed: it was not installed or run.
- No Momento API call was made.
The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.
03 / PUT IT TO WORK
Connect a server deliberately.
- Create a Momento API key. The README says control-plane tools require a super user API key.
- Export MOMENTO_API_KEY. MOMENTO_CACHE_NAME and DEFAULT_TTL_SECONDS are optional in the README.
- Use the printed Claude Desktop block, or the local development path npm install, npm run build, then the Inspector against node dist/index.js.
Before you start
- A Momento API key.
- Node and npm for the local build path, or npx for the client examples.
