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.

Memory that gets smarter over time

Two lines of MCP config. Bring your own provider keys — validated, encrypted, under your control. Your AI remembers across sessions — and the system learns which retrieval works best for you.
