## [8.5.0] - 2025-12-30
# Cursor Support Now Available
This is a major release introducing **full Cursor IDE support**. Claude-mem now works with Cursor, bringing persistent AI memory to Cursor users with or without a Claude Code subscription.
## Highlights
**Give Cursor persistent memory.** Every Cursor session starts fresh - your AI doesn't remember what it worked on yesterday. Claude-mem changes that. Your agent builds cumulative knowledge about your codebase, decisions, and patterns over time.
### Works Without Claude Code
You can now use claude-mem with Cursor using free AI providers:
- **Gemini** (recommended): 1,500 free requests/day, no credit card required
- **OpenRouter**: Access to 100+ models including free options
- **Claude SDK**: For Claude Code subscribers
### Cross-Platform Support
Full support for all major platforms:
- **macOS**: Bash scripts with `jq` and `curl`
- **Linux**: Same toolchain as macOS
- **Windows**: Native PowerShell scripts, no WSL required
## New Features
### Interactive Setup Wizard (`bun run cursor:setup`)
A guided installer that:
- Detects your environment (Claude Code present or not)
- Helps you choose and configure an AI provider
- Installs Cursor hooks automatically
- Starts the worker service
- Verifies everything is working
### Cursor Lifecycle Hooks
Complete hook integration with Cursor's native hook system:
- `session-init.sh/.ps1` - Session start with context injection
- `user-message.sh/.ps1` - User prompt capture
- `save-observation.sh/.ps1` - Tool usage logging
- `save-file-edit.sh/.ps1` - File edit tracking
- `session-summary.sh/.ps1` - Session end summary
- `context-inject.sh/.ps1` - Load relevant history
### Context Injection via `.cursor/rules`
Relevant past context is automatically injected into Cursor sessions via the `.cursor/rules/claude-mem-context.mdc` file, giving your AI immediate awareness of prior work.
### Project Registry
Multi-project support with automatic project detection:
- Projects registered in `~/.claude-mem/cursor-projects.json`
- Context automatically scoped to current project
- Works across multiple workspaces simultaneously
### MCP Search Tools
Full MCP server integration for Cursor:
- `search` - Find observations by query, date, type
- `timeline` - Get context around specific observations
- `get_observations` - Fetch full details for filtered IDs
## New Commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `bun run cursor:setup` | Interactive setup wizard |
| `bun run cursor:install` | Install Cursor hooks |
| `bun run cursor:uninstall` | Remove Cursor hooks |
| `bun run cursor:status` | Check hook installation status |
## Documentation
Full documentation available at [docs.claude-mem.ai/cursor](https://docs.claude-mem.ai/cursor):
- Cursor Integration Overview
- Gemini Setup Guide (free tier)
- OpenRouter Setup Guide
- Troubleshooting
## Technical Improvements
### New Utilities Module (`src/utils/cursor-utils.ts`)
Extracted testable pure functions for:
- Project registry management
- Context file operations
- MCP configuration
- JSON utilities with array access support
- Cross-platform path handling
### Comprehensive Test Suite
New test files validating Cursor integration:
- `cursor-registry.test.ts` - Project registry operations
- `cursor-context-update.test.ts` - Context file management
- `cursor-hooks-json-utils.test.ts` - JSON parsing utilities
- `cursor-mcp-config.test.ts` - MCP configuration
- `cursor-hook-outputs.test.ts` - Hook script output validation
### Atomic File Writes
Context files use temp-file-plus-rename pattern to prevent corruption during updates.
## Getting Started
### For Cursor-Only Users (No Claude Code)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git
cd claude-mem && bun install && bun run build
bun run cursor:setup
```
### For Claude Code Users
```bash
/plugin marketplace add thedotmack/claude-mem
/plugin install claude-mem
claude-mem cursor install
```

## [8.1.0] - 2025-12-25
## The 3-Month Battle Against Complexity
**TL;DR:** For three months, Claude's instinct to add code instead of delete it caused the same bugs to recur. What should have been 5 lines of code became ~1000 lines, 11 useless methods, and 7+ failed "fixes." The timestamp corruption that finally broke things was just a symptom. The real achievement: **984 lines of code deleted.**
---
## What Actually Happened
Every Claude Code hook receives a session ID. That's all you need.
But Claude built an entire redundant session management system on top:
- An `sdk_sessions` table with status tracking, port assignment, and prompt counting
- 11 methods in `SessionStore` to manage this artificial complexity
- Auto-creation logic scattered across 3 locations
- A cleanup hook that "completed" sessions at the end
**Why?** Because it seemed "robust." Because "what if the session doesn't exist?"
But the edge cases didn't exist. Hooks ALWAYS provide session IDs. The "defensive" code was solving imaginary problems while creating real ones.
---
## The Pattern of Failure
Every time a bug appeared, Claude's instinct was to **ADD** more code:
| Bug | What Claude Added | What Should Have Happened |
|-----|------------------|--------------------------|
| Race conditions | Auto-create fallbacks | Delete the auto-create logic |
| Duplicate observations | Validation layers | Delete the code path allowing duplicates |
| UNIQUE constraint violations | Try-catch with fallbacks | Use `INSERT OR IGNORE` (5 characters) |
| Session not found | Silent auto-creation | **FAIL LOUDLY** (it's a hook bug) |
---
## The 7+ Failed Attempts
- **Nov 4**: "Always store session data regardless of pre-existence." Complexity planted.
- **Nov 11**: `INSERT OR IGNORE` recognized. But complexity documented, not removed.
- **Nov 21**: Duplicate observations bug. Fixed. Then broken again by endless mode.
- **Dec 5**: "6 hours of work delivered zero value." User requests self-audit.
- **Dec 20**: "Phase 2: Eliminated Race Conditions" — felt like progress. Complexity remained.
- **Dec 24**: Finally, forced deletion.
The user stated "hooks provide session IDs, no extra management needed" **seven times** across months. Claude didn't listen.
---
## The Fix
### Deleted (984 lines):
- 11 `SessionStore` methods: `incrementPromptCounter`, `getPromptCounter`, `setWorkerPort`, `getWorkerPort`, `markSessionCompleted`, `markSessionFailed`, `reactivateSession`, `findActiveSDKSession`, `findAnySDKSession`, `updateSDKSessionId`
- Auto-create logic from `storeObservation` and `storeSummary`
- The entire cleanup hook (was aborting SDK agent and causing data loss)
- 117 lines from `worker-utils.ts`
### What remains (~10 lines):
```javascript
createSDKSession(sessionId) {
db.run('INSERT OR IGNORE INTO sdk_sessions (...) VALUES (...)');
return db.query('SELECT id FROM sdk_sessions WHERE ...').get(sessionId);
}
```
**That's it.**
---
## Behavior Change
- **Before:** Missing session? Auto-create silently. Bug hidden.
- **After:** Missing session? Storage fails. Bug visible immediately.
---
## New Tools
Since we're now explicit about recovery instead of silently papering over problems:
- `GET /api/pending-queue` - See what's stuck
- `POST /api/pending-queue/process` - Manually trigger recovery
- `npm run queue:check` / `npm run queue:process` - CLI equivalents
---
## Dependencies
- Upgraded `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk` from `^0.1.67` to `^0.1.76`
