How do I use Memphora?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Memphora search my memories for my current project's technical requirements" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

You: "My favorite programming language is Python"
Claude: [stores memory] "Noted! I'll remember that Python is your favorite programming language."
