Install remem in your MCP client

remem 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 remem 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; remem's tools should appear.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@remem-ai/remem"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Install remem in Cursor

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

Install remem 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). remem will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install remem 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). remem will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.

Install remem in VS Code

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

npm package: @remem-ai/remem

Transport

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

stdio

From the remem README

# @remem-ai/remem npm wrapper for the `remem` native binary. `remem` provides persistent project memory for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex coding-agent sessions. The npm package downloads the matching prebuilt binary from the GitHub Release during installation. ## Install ```bash npm install -g @remem-ai/remem remem install --target codex # or: remem install --target claude # or: remem install --target all ``` `remem install` can auto-detect existing Claude Code and Codex CLI config directories. On first-time setups, use `--target codex`, `--target claude`, or `--target all` so remem can create the selected config files. Supported platforms: - macOS arm64 / x64 - Linux arm64 / x64 Environment variables: - `REMEM_NPM_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=1`: skip binary download during npm install - `REMEM_…
