[See setup guidance ↓](#setup)[Original source ↗](https://github.com/momentohq/mcp-momento) SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-10-15 Evidence 3 linked sources Publisher Momento Inc. Licence [Apache-2.0 ↗](https://github.com/momentohq/mcp-momento/blob/fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a/LICENSE) Revision fd5d3e7aa19f [Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓](#review) “A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Momento Cache.” [Momento Inc. · upstream description ↗](https://github.com/momentohq/mcp-momento/blob/fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a/README.md) Our analysis follows below. 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. ### A good fit for - Read or replace a string value in a Momento cache from an MCP client. - List, create, or delete caches when the API key is a super user key, which the README says those control-plane tools require. ### Weigh up before choosing - The default-branch commit read here, fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a, is dated 2026-08-27. - set replaces any existing value. create-cache and delete-cache change the account. The README says control-plane tools need a super user API key. - The Claude Desktop example calls npx -y @gomomento/mcp-momento with no version. The Inspector example uses @gomomento/mcp-momento@latest. If MOMENTO_CACHE_NAME and DEFAULT_TTL_SECONDS are unset, the README says the cache name is mcp-momento and the default TTL is 60 seconds. - The README does not name an MCP transport. The client examples are local command blocks. 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. [Upstream setup instructions ↗](https://github.com/momentohq/mcp-momento/blob/fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a/README.md) - 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. ### Documented configuration example Use the client and authentication context described in the setup guidance. Configuration formats vary between hosts. { "mcpServers": { "momento": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@gomomento/mcp-momento" ], "env": { "MOMENTO_API_KEY": "your-api-key", "MOMENTO_CACHE_NAME": "your-cache-name", "DEFAULT_TTL_SECONDS": 60 } } } } Copy configuration ↗ ### Compatibility A Momento API key from the Momento Console, as the README instructs. · Node, because the local development section uses npm and the Inspector example uses npx. ### Implementation TypeScript ### Momento API key - get reads a key. set writes a string value and replaces any current value. - list-caches, create-cache, and delete-cache use the account control plane. The README says they require a super user API key. - The API key is an environment variable in the client config. The server calls Momento. ### Cost model Apache-2.0. The files read here do not state a Momento service price. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail. Our notes are separate from the original resource. Check upstream before adopting a new version. - [Momento MCP Server README at fd5d3e7a ↗](https://github.com/momentohq/mcp-momento/blob/fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a/README.md) Checked 2026-10-15 https://github.com/momentohq/mcp-momento/blob/fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a/README.md Supports: upstreamDescription, install, configExample, bestFor, limitations, access - [Apache License 2.0 at fd5d3e7a ↗](https://github.com/momentohq/mcp-momento/blob/fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a/LICENSE) Checked 2026-10-15 https://github.com/momentohq/mcp-momento/blob/fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a/LICENSE Supports: license - [package.json at fd5d3e7a ↗](https://github.com/momentohq/mcp-momento/blob/fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a/package.json) Checked 2026-10-15 https://github.com/momentohq/mcp-momento/blob/fd5d3e7aa19f337750207d0947db273bdfd9815a/package.json Supports: language, whySelected KEEP COMPARING ## Other approaches to consider.
