# 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](STANDALONE-SETUP.md) for setup with free-tier providers like Gemini or OpenRouter.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Installation (1 minute)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install globally for all projects (recommended)
|
|
claude-mem cursor install user
|
|
|
|
# Or install for current project only
|
|
claude-mem cursor install
|
|
|
|
# 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: `bun 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 ...`
|
|
|
|
