Alex Newman 8397f63af1 docs(cursor): Add standalone setup guide for Cursor users without Claude Code
- Create STANDALONE-SETUP.md with complete setup instructions for Gemini/OpenRouter
- Add "Quick Start for Cursor Users" section to README.md with standalone link
- Add provider configuration section to QUICKSTART.md with API key setup
- Fix worker restart command in README.md troubleshooting section

This enables Cursor users without Claude Code subscription to use claude-mem
with free-tier AI providers (Gemini 1500 req/day, OpenRouter free models).

# 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
## Don't Have Claude Code?
If you're using Cursor without Claude Code, see [STANDALONE-SETUP.md](STANDALONE-SETUP.md) for setup with free-tier providers like Gemini or OpenRouter.
---
## 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
```
## Configure Provider (Required for Standalone)
If you don't have Claude Code, configure a provider for AI summarization:
```bash
# Option A: Gemini (free tier available - recommended)
claude-mem settings set CLAUDE_MEM_PROVIDER gemini
claude-mem settings set CLAUDE_MEM_GEMINI_API_KEY your-api-key
# Option B: OpenRouter (free models available)
claude-mem settings set CLAUDE_MEM_PROVIDER openrouter
claude-mem settings set CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_API_KEY your-api-key
```
**Get free API keys**:
- Gemini: https://aistudio.google.com/apikey
- OpenRouter: https://openrouter.ai/keys
## 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 ...`
