claude-memCapture useful memory.
Install claude-mem in a supported capture environment. Work on a project and confirm the observations exist.
Tool guide
Your project context, in Windsurf.
Remember decisions and context as you build in Windsurf. Connect synced notes through CMEM Pro’s private MCP link; capture requires its own supported integration.
The claude-mem approach
Capture locally.
Recall where you work.
The free engine captures supported agent activity and keeps searchable memory on your machine. CMEM Pro adds hosted observation, cloud sync, and your private MCP link.
| Question to ask | claude-mem + CMEM Pro |
|---|---|
| What gets captured? | Activity from supported agent integrations. MCP recall alone does not capture every conversation. |
| Where is it stored? | Local memory with the engine; synced observations also stored by CMEM when cloud sync is enabled. |
| How do I recall it? | Search locally, or use your private Pro MCP connection from a compatible client. |
| What does it cost? | Free open-source engine; CMEM Pro starts at $30/month. Model usage and higher tiers have their own terms. |
Connect in three steps
Give Windsurf a path to your context.
Enable Pro and sync.
Follow the authenticated setup to enable cloud sync and get your private MCP connection. Keep the link private.
Connect Windsurf.
Add the connection in your client’s MCP settings. Test a recall query and inspect its source notes. Client support and configuration can vary.
Keep the useful part
Your next session
starts with context.
Install the open-source engine. Add CMEM Pro when you want hosted observation and cloud sync.
