How to install WorkingMemory in your AI client
Setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Cline and VS Code — copy-paste ready.
How to install WorkingMemory in Claude CodeAnthropic's agentic CLI
Add the server
bashclaude mcp add --transport http memory https://app.workingmemory.ai/mcpVerify it's connected
bashclaude mcp listSharing it with your team?
Add `--scope project` to write it to .mcp.json in the repository root, which you can commit (with the secrets left as environment variables).
Use it in a session
Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes (e.g. save_memory, search_memory, manage_memory). It discovers them automatically.
How to install WorkingMemory in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)
Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add this server
json{ "mcpServers": { "memory": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.workingmemory.ai/mcp" ] } } }Why the wrapper?
This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.
Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.
How to install WorkingMemory in CursorAI-first code editor
Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project
json{ "mcpServers": { "memory": { "url": "https://app.workingmemory.ai/mcp" } } }Enable it
Cursor Settings → MCP → toggle the server on. Tools become available to the Composer/Agent.
How to install WorkingMemory in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml
toml[mcp_servers.memory] command = "npx" args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.workingmemory.ai/mcp"]Why the wrapper?
Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.
Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.
How to install WorkingMemory in WindsurfCodeium's agentic IDE
Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
json{ "mcpServers": { "memory": { "serverUrl": "https://app.workingmemory.ai/mcp" } } }Reload
Windsurf → Cascade → refresh MCP servers. Cascade can now call the tools.
How to install WorkingMemory in ClineVS Code autonomous agent
Open Cline → MCP Servers → Configure
Adds to cline_mcp_settings.json.
Add the server
json{ "mcpServers": { "memory": { "type": "streamableHttp", "url": "https://app.workingmemory.ai/mcp" } } }
How to install WorkingMemory in VS CodeCopilot / MCP support
Create .vscode/mcp.json
json{ "servers": { "memory": { "type": "http", "url": "https://app.workingmemory.ai/mcp" } } }Start it
VS Code shows a ▶ Start action above the server entry. Agent mode (Copilot Chat) can then use the tools.
What tools does WorkingMemory expose? (4)
Read from the live server. Click any tool for its input schema.
- save_memorySave a thought, insight, fact, or todo to the user's Working Memory. The text is parsed and stored as one or more structured memory items, searchable a moment later via search_memory. Also use this when the user pastes memories or notes brought from another assistant — pass the full pasted text; it is split into individual memories automatically.
- search_memorySearch the user's Working Memory for relevant past notes and facts. Use this when the user references something they may have stored earlier, or to find related context before answering. Always include your conversation id in client.conversation_id.
- manage_memoryManage an existing memory item. Currently supports deleting a memory by id (soft delete — recoverable for 30 days). Use search_memory to find the id first.
- capture_memoryCapture durable facts from a task you just completed (drafting an email, summarizing a document, making a decision), as a byproduct — the user does nothing. Pass the task output/content; durable facts are extracted and stored automatically. Always include your conversation id in client.conversation_id. Returns immediately; extraction happens in the background.
What the code can do
This is a remote server — nothing is installed or run on your machine, so there is no local code to analyze. What it can reach is described above: your requests go to the provider's host.

Signals gathered from the source repo and package registry — not a safety verdict.
What it can reach
- Third-party hosted service — Your requests and any data in them are sent to app.workingmemory.ai.
- No local execution — Nothing is installed or run on your machine.
- No source repository — This registry entry does not link to a public repo, so its code cannot be reviewed before you install it.
