Getting Started
MCP Quick Start
Wire MetaMemory into Claude Code, ChatGPT Desktop, or any MCP client in under two minutes.
Last updated: March 2026
1. Get Your API Key
Sign in at metamemory.tech/dashboard/login and copy the API key from your dashboard.
2. Add MetaMemory to Your MCP Config
For Claude Code, edit ~/.claude/settings.json (or your project.mcp.json) and add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"metamemory": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@metamemory/mcp"],
"env": {
"METAMEMORY_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Code. MetaMemory shows up as a tool group with four core tools: store_memory, retrieve_context, start_session, and end_session.
3. That's It
MetaMemory auto-starts a session when Claude Code launches and auto-ends it when the session closes. Memories you store in one session are retrieved in the next — and the adaptive layer learns which retrieval strategy works best for your queries over time.
Cross-Platform Memory (Bonus)
The same API key works across any MCP-aware AI tool — Claude Code, Cursor, and the ChatGPT/Gemini MCP integrations as they ship. Store a memory in Claude, retrieve it in Cursor. One account, one memory layer, every platform.
