claude-mem for Cursor

Give Cursor persistent memory across every project and session.

cmem gives Cursor persistent memory across every project and session. The open-source engine runs locally and writes structured observations as you work; CMEM Cloud hands you one private MCP link that Cursor — and every other MCP client — reads and writes through. Your agent stops starting from zero.

How it integrates

Up and running with Cursor

01

Install the engine

Run npx claude-mem@latest install to set up the local memory engine and start capturing observations.

02

Add the MCP link

Join the waitlist for your private MCP link, then add it to Cursor as an MCP server.

03

Recall as you build

Cursor reads and writes the same memory as every other agent — one brain, every session.

What you get

Memory that compounds, built in

Automatic capture

A second model writes structured notes out-of-band — no prompting, no slowdown.

Auto-categorization

Decision, bugfix, feature, discovery, security — every note lands in a taxonomy.

Search three ways

Semantic, keyword, and timeline search over everything your agents have done.

Causality threading

Before/after links connect why a change happened to what came next.

Local-first & private

Memory lives in local SQLite with privacy stripping; cloud sync is opt-in.

Smart-explore

Structural codebase exploration that is 6–12× cheaper than reading files in full.
