Supermemory is an advanced memory storage and retrieval system that allows you to save information from various sources and interact with it through natural language chat. It also offers seamless integration with major AI tools through its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling you to access your stored memories across different platforms.

Using Supermemory

Adding Memories

Supermemory allows you to add memories from multiple sources:

  1. Sign in to your account at app.supermemory.ai
  2. Choose your preferred format to add memories:
    • Notes (text)
    • Links (web pages)
    • Files (PDFs and other documents)

Connecting to External Services

You can expand your memory capabilities by connecting to third-party services:

  • Notion
  • Google Drive
  • OneDrive

These integrations allow Supermemory to access and index content from your preferred productivity platforms.

Chatting with Your Memories

Once you've added memories to Supermemory:

  1. Click on "Open Chat" in the interface
  2. Ask questions or search for information using natural language
  3. Supermemory will retrieve relevant information from your saved memories

MCP Integration

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server allows you to connect Supermemory to various AI tools:

Setting Up MCP Connection

  1. From your Supermemory dashboard, click on "Connect to your AI"
  2. Select the AI tool you want to integrate (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
  3. Follow the specific integration instructions provided

This integration enables your AI tools to access and leverage your stored memories during interactions.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "supermemory" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","supermemory"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

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.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

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": {
        "supermemory": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "supermemory"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

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.

How to use the MCP server

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.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "supermemory": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "supermemory"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
