Overview - supermemory | Memory API for the AI era

Supermemory MCP Server 4.0 gives AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) persistent memory across conversations. Built on Cloudflare Workers with Durable Objects for scalable, persistent connections.

Quick Install

npx -y install-mcp@latest https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp --client claude --oauth=yes

Replace claude with your MCP client: cursor, windsurf, vscode, etc.

Manual Configuration

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supermemory": {
      "url": "https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The server uses OAuth by default. Your client will discover the authorization server via /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource and prompt you to authenticate.

API Key Authentication (Alternative)

If you prefer API keys over OAuth, get one from app.supermemory.ai and pass it in the Authorization header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supermemory": {
      "url": "https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sm_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

API keys start with sm_ and skip OAuth when provided.

Project Scoping

Scope all operations to a specific project with x-sm-project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supermemory": {
      "url": "https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-sm-project": "your-project-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

`memory`

Save or forget information about the user.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`content`	string	Yes	The memory content to save or forget
`action`	`"save"` \| `"forget"`	No	Default: `"save"`
`containerTag`	string	No	Project tag to scope the memory

`recall`

Search memories and get user profile.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	Yes	Search query to find relevant memories
`includeProfile`	boolean	No	Include user profile summary. Default: `true`
`containerTag`	string	No	Project tag to scope the search

`whoAmI`

Get the current logged-in user’s information. Returns { userId, email, name, client, sessionId }.

Resources

URI	Description
`supermemory://profile`	User profile with stable preferences and recent activity
`supermemory://projects`	List of available memory projects

Prompts

`context`

Inject user profile and preferences as system context for AI conversations. Returns a formatted message with the user’s stable preferences and recent activity. You can access this in Cursor and Claude Code by just doing /context, which will give the LLMs just enough context to use and query supermemory more. Purpose: Unlike the recall tool (which searches for specific information) or the profile resource (which returns raw data), the context prompt provides a pre-formatted system message designed for context injection at the start of conversations.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`containerTag`	string	No	Project tag to scope the profile (max 128 chars)
`includeRecent`	boolean	No	Include recent activity in the profile. Default: `true`

Output format:

Includes instructions to save new memories using the memory tool
Stable Preferences: Long-term user facts and preferences
Recent Activity: Recent interactions and context (when includeRecent is true)
Fallback message when no profile exists yet

When to use:

Use context prompt for automatic system context injection at conversation start
Use recall tool when you need to search for specific information
Use profile resource when you need raw profile data for custom processing
