Use Mnem with Claude Code

Give the terminal agent a memory: context, conventions, and decisions follow you across repositories and sessions.

What you get

  • Memory tools available in every Claude Code session, in any directory
  • Recall of decisions made in other tools while you work in the terminal
  • Optional capture of session takeaways — opt-in

Connect

One-click setup from the Connections panel.

  1. Open Connections

    Click the Mnem menu-bar icon and open the Connections panel.

  2. Connect Claude Code

    Click Connect. Mnem registers itself at user scope, so it's available in every project — no per-repo setup.

  3. Or add it from the CLI

    Prefer the terminal? Run the command shown under Manual configuration below.

  4. Verify

    Run /mcp inside a session, or claude mcp list, and confirm mnem is connected.

Manual configuration

The exact command — with the correct path for your install — is shown in Mnem's Connections panel under Claude Code → Manual setup.

claude mcp add --scope user mnem /Applications/Mnem.app/Contents/MacOS/mnem-mcp

Troubleshooting

If tools appear in one project but not another, the server was probably added at local scope; re-add it with --scope user. After changing scopes, start a fresh session.
