2. An API key from Manage → Connections → API keys in the app

3. Node.js 18+ (for npx)

Configuration

This server runs locally via stdio. Most compatible hosts use the same JSON shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memlane": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@memlane/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MEMLANE_API_KEY": "ml_live_…"
      }
    }
  }
}

After npm install -g @memlane/mcp, you can use "command": "memlane-mcp" instead of npx.

Supported hosts

For ChatGPT and Claude Desktop, use the remote MCP endpoint instead (OAuth, no API key).

Restart the host app after editing config files.

VS Code

VS Code uses "servers" as the root key (not "mcpServers"):

{
  "servers": {
    "memlane": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@memlane/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MEMLANE_API_KEY": "ml_live_…"
      }
    }
  }
}

Enable MCP in VS Code settings: "chat.mcp.enabled": true.

ChatGPT and remote MCP hosts

ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Claude on the web, and other remote MCP clients cannot run npx. Use Memlane's hosted endpoint instead:

URL: https://api.memlane.io/mcp

1. In your AI app, add a custom MCP connector with that URL.

2. Complete the OAuth sign-in flow (Memlane account: magic link or future social providers).

3. Approve access on the consent screen.

No API key required. Disconnect by removing the connector in your AI app's settings.

Tools

The local server exposes 10 MCP tools. Full function reference:

• docs/TOOLS.md — what each tool does, parameters, return shapes, and workflow tips

• docs/API.md — REST mappings, auth scopes, and curl examples

Security

API keys are secrets. Store them in your MCP host's environment config. Never commit them to version control. Revoke a leaked key in Manage → Connections → API keys.
