The Supermemory MCP Server is an AI integration tool that acts as a second brain for saving and organizing your digital content. It allows you to store and interact with information from various sources, and seamlessly connect with major AI tools through Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration.

Getting Started with Supermemory

Installation

No installation is required to use the core web application. Simply visit app.supermemory.ai and sign in with your account.

For enhanced functionality, you can install the browser and Raycast extensions:

Using Supermemory

Adding Memories

You can add memories in several formats:

  1. Manual Entry: Create notes directly in the app
  2. Link Import: Paste URLs to save web content
  3. File Upload: Upload PDFs and other document formats
  4. Service Integration: Connect with services like Notion, Google Drive, and OneDrive

To add a memory:

  1. Navigate to the main dashboard
  2. Click on the "Add Memory" button
  3. Choose your desired format (Note, Link, or File)
  4. Enter or upload your content
  5. Add any tags or organization metadata
  6. Save your memory

Chatting with Your Memories

Once you've added content to your Supermemory:

  1. Click on "Open Chat" in the interface
  2. Type natural language queries about your stored information
  3. Receive AI-powered responses drawing from your memory database

MCP Integration with AI Tools

To connect Supermemory with other AI tools:

  1. Click on "Connect to your AI" in the app
  2. Select the AI tool you want to integrate (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
  3. Follow the specific integration instructions for that tool
  4. Your AI tool will now be able to access and reference your Supermemory database

Using the Browser Extension

After installation, the Chrome/Edge extension allows you to:

  • Save web content directly with a right-click
  • Integrate with ChatGPT and Claude conversations
  • Import content from Twitter/X
  • Access your memories directly from the browser

Using the Raycast Extension

The Raycast extension provides keyboard shortcuts for:

  • Quick memory addition using the "Add Memory" command
  • Efficient memory search with the "Search Memories" command

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
