How do I use Mind Cloud Lite?

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., "@Mind Cloud Lite save my preference for dark mode in notes" 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.

Mind Cloud Lite

Token-optimized persistent memory for Claude Pro users.

Mind Cloud Lite is a stripped-down version of Mind Cloud designed specifically for users with limited context windows. It uses ~1,300 tokens for tool definitions vs ~10,000 for the full version - an 87% reduction in token overhead.

Lite vs Full Mind Cloud

Mind Cloud Lite includes 9 essential tools (~1,300 tokens). The full Mind Cloud includes 28 tools (~10,000 tokens). Your data is fully compatible between both — upgrade anytime by deploying the full worker.

npm install
```

Configure wrangler.toml:

cp wrangler.toml.example wrangler.toml
# Edit wrangler.toml with your settings

Create D1 database:

npx wrangler d1 create mind-lite
# Copy the database_id to wrangler.toml

Create Vectorize index:

npx wrangler vectorize create mind-lite-vectors --dimensions=384 --metric=cosine

Run migrations:

npx wrangler d1 execute mind-lite --remote --file=migrations/0001_init.sql
npx wrangler d1 execute mind-lite --remote --file=migrations/0002_vault_sessions.sql

    "mind": {
      "url": "https://YOUR-WORKER.workers.dev/mcp/YOUR-API-KEY"
    }
  }
}

Authentication

Set your API key as a Wrangler secret:

npx wrangler secret put MIND_API_KEY
