Install hicortex in your MCP client

hicortex is a Model Context Protocol server. Add it to your MCP client config once, restart, and the server's tools become available to your AI assistant. The same JSON snippet below works across all four major clients — only the config file path differs.

  1. Locate your client's MCP config file.
    • Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
    • Claude Desktop (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Claude Desktop (Windows): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
    • VS Code: Settings → Extensions → MCP
    • Windsurf: Settings → MCP Servers
  2. Add hicortex to the mcpServers map — paste the snippet below into your config file. If you already have other MCP servers, merge the entry into the existing mcpServers object.
  3. Restart your client so it picks up the new server.
  4. Verify — ask the assistant to list available tools; hicortex's tools should appear.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hicortex": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gamaze/hicortex"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Install hicortex in Cursor

Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Cursor. hicortex will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install hicortex in Claude Desktop (macOS)

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (macOS). hicortex will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install hicortex in Claude Desktop (Windows)

Open %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (Windows). hicortex will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install hicortex in VS Code

Open Settings → Extensions → MCP in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart VS Code. hicortex will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

npm package: @gamaze/hicortex

Transport

hicortex supports the following MCP transports. Most AI clients use stdio by default for locally-installed servers.

From the hicortex README

# @gamaze/hicortex — Self-Learning Memory for AI Agents Your agents learn from every session — successes and mistakes. Hicortex captures experiences, distills lessons, and applies them automatically. Connect multiple agents to shared memory and they improve together, overnight. Works with **Claude Code**, **Pi**, **OpenClaw**, and any MCP-compatible agent. **Website:** [hicortex.gamaze.com](https://hicortex.gamaze.com) · **Docs:** [hicortex.gamaze.com/docs](https://hicortex.gamaze.com/docs/) ## Install — Server Mode (single machine) ```bash npx @gamaze/hicortex init ``` Detects your environment, installs a persistent MCP server daemon, auto-detects Ollama/Claude CLI/API keys, and registers with Claude Code. One command. ## Install — Client Mode (multi-client) ```bash npx @gamaze/hi
