Client Setup - Mem[v] Documentation

Choose your AI client below and follow the setup steps. All clients use the same MCP endpoint and OAuth authentication, no API keys required.

You’ll need a mem[v] account. Sign up at chat.memv.ai if you haven’t already.

Claude Code

Run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http memv https://mcp.memv.ai/mcp

Claude Code will prompt you to authenticate via OAuth when you first use a mem[v] tool.

Claude Desktop

Open Connectors

Go to Settings → Connectors.

Add the MCP server

Click Add and enter the endpoint URL:

https://mcp.memv.ai/mcp

Authenticate

Remote MCP servers must be added via Settings → Connectors. Claude Desktop does not connect to remote servers configured directly in claude_desktop_config.json.

ChatGPT

Click your profile icon → Settings → Apps & Connectors.

Add MCP server

Click Add and enter the endpoint URL:

https://mcp.memv.ai/mcp

Go to Cursor Settings → Features → MCP → Add new MCP Server.

Add the server

Select SSE as the type and enter the endpoint URL:

https://mcp.memv.ai/sse

Authenticate

Cursor will prompt you to sign in via OAuth on first use.

Requires a Cursor Pro plan or higher. MCP servers only work in Agent mode, which is not available on the free tier.

VS Code (Copilot)

Run this command in your terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"memv","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.memv.ai/mcp"}'

Or add it manually to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "memv": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.memv.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add the following to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memv": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.memv.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Windsurf to load the new configuration. You’ll be prompted to sign in via OAuth on first use.

Verify the Connection

After setup, ask your AI assistant:

List my mem[v] workspaces.

You should see your workspaces returned, confirming the connection is working.

Try search_memory next to search your knowledge graph directly from your AI assistant.
