§ Get started

Verify Setup. Two minutes, one prompt.

Use this check when OctaMem is connected through an MCP-enabled assistant (for example Cursor, Claude Desktop, or another client you configured in the sections above). It confirms the server exposed the expected tools, not your Python or JavaScript SDK install.

Scope

MCP integration

Method

Ask the assistant

Server

mcp.octamem.com

Ask your assistant

After MCP setup, ask your assistant:

prompttext
"What OctaMem tools do you have?"

You should see tools such as the following (names may match your client’s MCP listing):

  • search_contextReadSearches memory for context relevant to the user's question.
  • finalize_responseWriteDelivers a final answer and stores it in memory.
  • store_memoryWriteStores content when explicitly asked to save or remember.
  • octamem_list_toolsReadReturns available tools with lifecycle guidance.

How it works

  • Ask a question — e.g. “Who is Rajiv?” — the assistant searches your memory, answers, and saves the exchange.
  • Save something — e.g. “Remember that my meeting is on Friday” — the assistant stores it in your memory.
  • Memory persists— Memory persists across conversations so the assistant remembers what you’ve told it before.

Still missing tools?

Re-check your client’s connector or mcp.json entry, fully quit and reopen the app, and confirm the API key in your URL or header is the live one from platform.octamem.com. The full list of common fixes lives in Troubleshooting.
