Mem0 MCP Server

# Getting Started with Mem0 MCP Server This guide will help you set up and start using the Mem0 MCP Server with your AI assistants. ## Installation ### Prerequisites Before you begin, ensure you have: - Python 3.9 or higher installed - A Mem0.ai account and API key ### Setup Steps 1. **Install the package**: ```bash pip install mcp-mem0-server ``` 2. **Configure Cursor or Claude Desktop**: For Cursor, add the following to your `~/.cursor/mcp.json` file: ```json "mem0-memory-general": { "command": "mcp-mem0-server", "args": [], "env": { "MEM0_API_KEY": "your-mem0-api-key-here" } } ``` For Claude Desktop, add a similar configuration in your settings. 3. **Restart your application**: Restart Cursor or Claude Desktop to apply the changes. ## Using the Mem0 MCP Server Once configured, the Mem0 MCP Server will be automatically available to your AI assistant. No need to manually start a server or connect to a URL. ## Basic Usage Examples Here are some basic examples to get you started: ### Adding a Memory ``` Add this to my memory using mem0_add_memory: "I prefer dark mode in all applications" with user_id "default_user". ``` ### Searching for Memories ``` Search my memories for "preferences" using mem0_search_memory with user_id "default_user". ``` ### Retrieving All Memories ``` Show me all my memories using mem0_get_all_memories with user_id "default_user". ``` ### Using Specialized Memory Types ``` Add to my episodic memory using mem0_add_episodic_memory: "I visited the Grand Canyon on July 15, 2023" with user_id "default_user". ``` ## Next Steps Now that you have the server configured: 1. Explore the [Complete API Reference](./api-reference.md) to learn about all available tools 2. Check out the [Memory Types Guide](./memory-types.md) to understand different memory structures 3. Learn about [Advanced Features](./advanced-features.md) like custom categories and graph memory ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues - **API Key Not Found**: Ensure your Mem0 API key is correctly set in your MCP configuration - **Tool Not Available**: Restart your application (Cursor or Claude Desktop) after changing configurations - **Memory Not Found**: Verify you're using the correct user_id in your memory operations (default: "default_user") ### Getting Help If you encounter issues not covered here: 1. Check the logs (default: `~/.mcp_mem0_server.log`) 2. Review the [API Reference](./api-reference.md) for correct parameter usage 3.
