claude-mem for Windsurf
Remember decisions and context as you build in Windsurf.
cmem lets Windsurf remember decisions and context as you build. The open-source engine writes structured observations locally while you work; CMEM Cloud gives you a private MCP link that Windsurf and every other MCP client read through. One memory, every session.
Up and running with Windsurf
Install the engine
Run npx claude-mem@latest install to set up local memory capture.
Add the MCP link
Add your private MCP link to Windsurf as an MCP server.
Recall as you build
Windsurf reads and writes the same memory as every other agent.
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.
