Install claude-mem on Cursor
Independent of Grok Bot. Do not require the other IDE.
Local worker (default)
npx claude-mem install --ide cursor
Starts the local worker. Hooks already ship with this plugin. MCP claude-mem-local talks to it.
Observer:
- Remote inference (typical): leave provider as openrouter / cmem.ai (
CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_BASE_URL=https://cmem.ai/api/inference/v1) - Local host-login:
--provider host(loopback shim; never bind the worker port — on macOS the worker is often 37777, so the shim uses 37778)
Remote worker
npx claude-mem install --ide cursor --runtime server --server-url https://YOUR_HOST
Set plugin variable CLAUDE_MEM_MCP_TOKEN for claude-mem-remote (https://cmem.ai/api/mcp or your server).
Never restart a healthy worker (RAM queue). No Claude CLI required for host/openrouter.
