Quick Start: Claude-Mem + Cursor Integration

Give your Cursor AI persistent memory in under 5 minutes

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

Your AI stops forgetting. It remembers the patterns, decisions, and context from previous sessions.

Don't Have Claude Code?

If you're using Cursor without Claude Code, see STANDALONE-SETUP.md for setup with free-tier providers like Gemini or OpenRouter.

Installation (1 minute)

# 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:

# 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
