This Memory Plugin for Claude uses SQLite to provide persistent memory storage capabilities, allowing information to be saved and recalled across conversation sessions. It integrates with Claude via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling Claude to remember important information between chats.
cp .env.example .env
.env
file to specify where you want the SQLite database stored:MEMORY_DB_PATH=/path/to/your/memory.sqlite
You need to modify Claude's configuration file to add the Memory Plugin as an MCP server:
For MacOS:
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
For Windows:
Edit C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add the Memory Plugin to the mcpServers
section:
{
"mcpServers": {
"memory_recall": {
"command": "/path/to/python3",
"args": [
"/path/2/your/cloned/repository/memory_plugin.py"
]
}
}
}
Make sure to replace /path/to/python3
with your actual Python path and the repository path with the actual location where you cloned the repository.
The Memory Plugin provides several commands you can use within your Claude conversations:
To load saved memories at the start of a new chat:
memory://load
To save specific information to memory:
Save into the memory, under aNewName category, the following: a new message with important info to remember
To save the main points from your current conversation:
Save the relevant points of the conversation into the memory under aNewName category
Replace aNewName
with a meaningful category name to organize your memories.
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "memory_recall" '{"command":"/path/to/python3","args":["/path/2/your/cloned/repository/memory_plugin.py"]}'
See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json
file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"memory_recall": {
"command": "/path/to/python3",
"args": [
"/path/2/your/cloned/repository/memory_plugin.py"
]
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json
file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"memory_recall": {
"command": "/path/to/python3",
"args": [
"/path/2/your/cloned/repository/memory_plugin.py"
]
}
}
}
3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
