Environment variables

Variables the server reads at startup.

NameRequiredDescription
TYPESAFE_API_KEYsecretNoTypeSafe API key for Jev, which addmemory, searchmemory and audit_memory use. If unset, the server reads it from /.jevmem/.env or ~/.jevmem/env.
JEVMEM_ROOTNoProject root, for clients that start the server without a project working directory (Claude Desktop). One server entry serves one project.
TYPESAFE_BASE_URLNoSend Jev requests through a proxy or gateway instead of api.typesafe.ai.
JEVMEM_CACHENo0 turns off the answer cache in .jevmem/.

About jevmem

Say it once. jevmem saves the decisions, rules and failed approaches from your Claude Code chats to JEVMEM.md in your repo, and brings the relevant ones back next session. Before Claude runs a command or edits a file, it checks the call against your saved rules. It is open source (MIT), built on TypeSafe AI's Jev, in Anthropic's Claude plugin directory and on the MCP Registry.
