Hosted memory for AI agents that learns and forgets. Feedback reranks the facts that help; recall fades by recency. One API key works across Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, and any MCP client.

Memory that persists across sessions, projects, and tools — and improves with use. Hosted, so there's no infrastructure to run, and not locked to a single cloud.

Quick Start

1. Get a free API key

Sign up at console.mnemoverse.com — takes 30 seconds, no credit card.

2. Connect to your AI tool

Claude Code — add via CLI:

claude mcp add mnemoverse \
  -e MNEMOVERSE_API_KEY=mk_live_YOUR_KEY \
  -e MNEMOVERSE_API_URL=https://core.mnemoverse.com/api/v1 \
  -- npx -y @mnemoverse/mcp-memory-server@latest

Cursor — click to install, or add to .cursor/mcp.json:

Add to Cursor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mnemoverse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mnemoverse/mcp-memory-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_KEY": "mk_live_YOUR_KEY",
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_URL": "https://core.mnemoverse.com/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code — add to .vscode/mcp.json (note: VS Code uses servers, not mcpServers):

{
  "servers": {
    "mnemoverse": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mnemoverse/mcp-memory-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_KEY": "mk_live_YOUR_KEY",
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_URL": "https://core.mnemoverse.com/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf — add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mnemoverse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mnemoverse/mcp-memory-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_KEY": "mk_live_YOUR_KEY",
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_URL": "https://core.mnemoverse.com/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

More MCP clients — same server, different config file:

Zed — add to ~/.config/zed/settings.json (Zed uses context_servers, and "source": "custom" is required):

{
  "context_servers": {
    "mnemoverse": {
      "source": "custom",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mnemoverse/mcp-memory-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_KEY": "mk_live_YOUR_KEY",
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_URL": "https://core.mnemoverse.com/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

JetBrains (AI Assistant) — Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP), then paste:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mnemoverse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mnemoverse/mcp-memory-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_KEY": "mk_live_YOUR_KEY",
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_URL": "https://core.mnemoverse.com/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

ClineMCP Servers → Configure (or edit cline_mcp_settings.json). Cline reads env values literally, so paste your real key — not a ${VAR} reference:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mnemoverse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mnemoverse/mcp-memory-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_KEY": "mk_live_YOUR_KEY",
        "MNEMOVERSE_API_URL": "https://core.mnemoverse.com/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Continue — add ~/.continue/mcpServers/mnemoverse.yaml (Continue uses YAML):

mcpServers:
  - name: mnemoverse
    command: npx
    args:
      - "-y"
      - "@mnemoverse/mcp-memory-server@latest"
    env:
      MNEMOVERSE_API_KEY: "mk_live_YOUR_KEY"
      MNEMOVERSE_API_URL: "https://core.mnemoverse.com/api/v1"

Why @latest? Bare npx @mnemoverse/mcp-memory-server is cached indefinitely by npm and stops re-checking the registry. The @latest suffix forces a metadata lookup on every Claude Code / Cursor / VS Code session start (~100-300ms), so you always pick up new releases.

⚠️ Restart your AI client after editing the config. MCP servers are only picked up on client startup.

3. Try it — 30 seconds to verify it works

Paste this in your AI chat:

"Remember that my favourite TypeScript framework is Hono, and please call memory_write to save it."

Your agent should call memory_write and confirm the memory was stored.

Then open a new chat / new session (this is the whole point — memory survives restarts), and ask:

"What's my favourite TypeScript framework?"

Your agent should call memory_read, find the entry, and answer "Hono". If it does — you're wired up. Write whatever you want next.

If it doesn't remember: check that the client was fully restarted and the config has your real mk_live_... key, not the placeholder.

Tools

Tool What it does
memory_write Store a memory — insight, preference, lesson learned
memory_read Search memories by natural language query
memory_feedback Rate memories as helpful or not (improves future recall)
memory_stats Check how many memories stored, which domains exist
memory_delete Permanently delete a single memory by atom_id
memory_delete_domain Wipe an entire domain (requires confirm: true safety interlock)

Ideas: What to Remember

  • User preferences: "I use dark mode", "I prefer Tailwind over CSS modules"
  • Project context: "This project uses PostgreSQL + Prisma", "Deploy to Railway"
  • Lessons learned: "Always run tests before push on this repo"
  • Decisions made: "We chose REST over GraphQL because of caching simplicity"
  • People & roles: "Alice is the designer, Bob owns the API"
  • Past mistakes: "Don't deploy on Fridays — learned this the hard way"

Universal Memory

The same API key works across all tools. Write a memory in Claude Code — read it in Cursor. Learn something in VS Code — your GPT Custom Action knows it too.

Privacy

This server sends only what you explicitly choose to store or search to the Mnemoverse API (core.mnemoverse.com), authenticated with your API key. It does not read your AI client's conversation history, your local files, or anything you don't pass to a memory_* tool. Stored memories live under your account and are never sold or shared with third parties.

Privacy Policy https://mnemoverse.com/privacy.html
Data sent the content / concepts / domain you pass to memory_write; the query you pass to memory_read
Retention & deletion delete one memory with memory_delete, or an entire namespace with memory_delete_domain
