# Quick Start: Claude-Mem + Cursor Integration

## What This Does

Connects claude-mem to Cursor so that:
- ✅ Agent actions (MCP tools, shell commands, file edits) are automatically saved
- ✅ Context from past sessions is automatically injected via `.cursor/rules/`
- ✅ Sessions are summarized for future reference

## Installation (1 minute)

```bash
# Install for current project
claude-mem cursor install

# Or install globally for all projects
claude-mem cursor install user

# Check installation status
claude-mem cursor status
```

## Start Worker

```bash
claude-mem start

# Verify it's running
claude-mem status
```

## Restart Cursor

Restart Cursor to load the hooks.

## Verify It's Working

1. Open Cursor Settings → Hooks tab
2. You should see the hooks listed
3. Submit a prompt in Cursor
4. Check the web viewer: http://localhost:37777
5. You should see observations appearing

## What Gets Captured

- **MCP Tool Usage**: All MCP tool executions
- **Shell Commands**: All terminal commands
- **File Edits**: All file modifications
- **Sessions**: Each conversation is tracked

## Accessing Memory

### Via Web Viewer
- Open http://localhost:37777
- Browse sessions, observations, and summaries
- Search your project history

### Via MCP Tools (if enabled)
- claude-mem provides search tools via MCP
- Use `search`, `timeline`, and `get_observations` tools

## Troubleshooting

**Hooks not running?**
- Check Cursor Settings → Hooks tab for errors
- Verify scripts are executable: `chmod +x ~/.cursor/hooks/*.sh`
- Check Hooks output channel in Cursor

**Worker not responding?**
- Check if worker is running: `curl http://127.0.0.1:37777/api/readiness`
- Check logs: `tail -f ~/.claude-mem/logs/worker-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log`
- Restart worker: `npm run worker:restart`

**Observations not saving?**
- Check worker logs for errors
- Verify session was initialized in web viewer
- Test API directly: `curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:37777/api/sessions/observations ...`
