Cursor. Two paths in.

Cursor supports MCP servers across Mac, Windows, and Linux, either through Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP, or directly in an mcp.json file.

OctaMem × Cursor

Context that outlives the editor session

Cursor already reads your repository; OctaMem gives it the reasoning behind the code. Architectural decisions, incident write-ups, and review threads stay retrievable long after the tab is closed — so a new session doesn't start by re-deriving what the team settled months ago.

Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP

1Step

Open Tools & MCP

In Cursor, open Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP. Click Add new MCP server.

2Step

Configure OctaMem

3Step

Enable in chat

Open a chat, click the tools icon, and enable octamem. Cursor’s composer can now call remember, recall, and forget.

mcp.json (advanced)

Cursor reads mcp.json in this order. The first match wins, so a project-level file overrides anything in your home directory.

  • Project: .cursor/mcp.json at the project root. Checked first.
  • User (macOS / Linux): ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
  • User (Windows): %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json.

}

Verify

Open Cursor’s tools panel and confirm the OctaMem tools list. Then ask Cursor: “remember that we use 4-space indentation in this repo”. Open a new chat and ask “what’s our indentation rule?”, Cursor should recall it.
