Claude-Mem

Persistent AI memory for Cursor (and Claude Code) — session hooks capture tool use, AI compresses observations, and relevant history injects into every new chat.

01

Overview

Claude-Mem (thedotmack/claude-mem) fixes cold-start sessions. Hooks capture MCP tools, shell commands, and file edits; an extraction layer compresses observations into semantic summaries; context injection loads relevant history into new chats. A memory viewer shows the knowledge base. Cursor-only users can run on Gemini’s free tier or OpenRouter — no Claude Code subscription required. Claude Code users install via plugin marketplace + `claude-mem cursor install`.

Installation guide

# Cursor-only (Gemini / OpenRouter)
git clone https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git
cd claude-mem && bun install && bun run build
bun run cursor:setup

# Claude Code users
/plugin marketplace add thedotmack/claude-mem
/plugin install claude-mem
claude-mem cursor install

Prereqs: Bun, Cursor IDE, jq + curl. Verify with `bun run worker:status` and `bun run cursor:status`.

04

How to use it

Keep the worker running. Code normally — hooks capture silently. New chats should receive relevant prior context. Open the worker URL to browse memory. Restart Cursor after install.

05

Example prompts

  • “After install: continue yesterday’s auth refactor — what did we decide about session tokens?”
  • “Show me what claude-mem has stored about our billing module.”
  • “Summarize architecture decisions from the last five sessions.”
06

Use cases and examples

  • Stop re-explaining project conventions every session
  • Accumulate architecture decisions across weeks
  • Cursor workflows without losing multi-day context
  • Team demos of persistent agent memory vs file-dump approaches
07

Prerequisites

  • Bun runtime + Cursor IDE
  • AI provider: Gemini free tier, OpenRouter, or Claude SDK
  • Disk + local worker port available
08

Tips

  • Start with Gemini free tier (1500 req/day) for individuals.
  • If hooks don’t fire: restart Cursor and check `.cursor/hooks.json`.
  • Complement with file-based CLAUDE.md / knowledge graphs — memory tiers stack.
  • Useful backdrop: NexusTrade / DEV.to pieces on Cursor vs Claude Code memory architecture.
