Use Mnem with Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop with a real past: recall preferences and prior work mid-conversation, and remember new facts without copy-paste.

What you get

  • Memory tools (recall, remember, and friends) available inside Claude conversations
  • One memory shared with Cursor, Zed, and every other connected app
  • Optional auto-capture of your Claude exchanges — opt-in, pause anytime

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 Desktop

    Click Connect. Mnem adds itself to Claude Desktop's MCP configuration file, preserving any servers you already have.

  3. Fully quit and relaunch Claude

    Use ⌘Q — closing the window is not enough. Claude Desktop loads MCP servers only at launch.

  4. Verify

    Open the tools menu in a new conversation and confirm the mnem tools are listed.

Troubleshooting

The most common issue is not fully quitting Claude — ⌘Q it and reopen. If you had hand-edited the config before and it contains invalid JSON, the Connections panel will flag it and offer to repair the file.
